The members of the Security Council also welcomed the 18-19 July high-level roundtable to discuss the implementation of interim security arrangements as envisaged by the Libyan Political Agreement, during which participants proposed options to clarify and strengthen Libyan security architecture as well as to create a process to improve security in Tripoli.
The members of the Security Council encouraged the Presidency Council to continue efforts to broaden the basis of its support, to take the necessary decisions to tackle Libya’s political, security, humanitarian, economic and institutional challenges, including through the urgent delivery of basic services to the Libyan people, and to confront the rising threat of terrorism.
