UN Security Council hears of encouraging progress in Libya's political process

14 October 2026

The UN envoy briefed the Security Council on Libya on Wednesday, 14 October 2026.
Despite progress in the political process, institutional divisions, economic deterioration and security fragility continue to threaten stability, the envoy warned.
Libyan leaders were urged to overcome their differences to pave the way for national elections.
Libya has been in political dysfunction since the collapse of Muammar Gaddafi's regime in 2011.
In September 2026, Libya's rival political camps agreed on new rules for running the elections commission and holding a vote within two years.
A UN-supported mine action programme cleared 14,066 items of explosive ordnance from Al-Sweihli Farm in Misratah between January and September 2026.
