Foreign Minister Noureddine Erray stated the ongoing instability and delay in the political process in Libya poses a direct menace to peace and security in the region and globally.
Speaking at a United Nations (UN) Security Council VTC on the situation in Libya held Wednesday, in the presence of the UN Secretary-General and the German Foreign Minister.
Erray evoked Tunisia’s steady position on the Libyan issue, which advocates a Libyan-led political resolution within the framework of the commitment to international legality.
In his comments, he embraced the initiative to hold this meeting which will convey a reassuring word to the Libyan people about the commitment of the Council and the international community to encourage all parties to overcome the crisis.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs stated that Tunisia has joined the humanitarian action group resulting from the Berlin conference (19 January 2020), calling for the necessity to uphold international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law (IHRL) in Libya.
He recalled, in this context, the initiative launched by President Kais Saied asking for a humanitarian truce and the development of new visions.
Erray similarly welcomed the unanimous adoption of the Security Council resolution 2532 (2020), proposed by Tunisia and France, providing for a global ceasefire for at least 90 consecutive days to combat COVID- 19.
