Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of the compliance with the UN-brokered ceasefire announced on 26 September by militias based in Tripoli.

​The UK remains deeply concerned by the security situation in Libya, and condemns any threats or use of force which endanger civilians, threaten stability or undermine the UN-led political process. Recent violence, including extrajudicial killings, has further highlighted the need for more credible and sustainable security arrangements. We welcome the UN efforts to broker a ceasefire, and the recent security reforms, including the formation of the Tripoli Security Arrangements Committee. We continue to engage with the Libyan authorities and the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) to support the implementation of the Tripoli Security Plan. It is important that these efforts are extended across the country in order to re-establish sustainable and nationwide security arrangements.
