In the News | 26-02-2014

A statement from the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) expresses worries about the "continued violence" in the country.

The text of the 25 February statement reads as follows:

 The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) expresses its deep concern about the continued violence, including assassinations, bombings, kidnappings and attacks in the East and other Libyan areas that has targeted judges, members of the security forces, activists, civilians and Arab and foreign nationals as well as polling centres and buildings housing Government and diplomatic missions.
 
 
UNSMIL calls upon officials and all forces to do their utmost to put an end to all acts which threaten stability in Libya, put the security of its people at risk, violate human dignity and undermine the values that Libyans uphold as they aspire to build a State based on the rule of law and the respect for human rights.
