(ANSAmed) - ROME, SEPTEMBER 5 - A call to abide by a
ceasefire has been launched by Italy, France, the UK and the US
to "all Libyan parties" in a joint statement.
The statement urges reconciliation and the resumption of a
Libyan-led peace process.
"The Governments of France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and
the United States welcome the result of the mediation reached
today in Tripoli by the United Nations Support Mission that aims
to deescalate violence in and around Tripoli and ensure the
protection of civilians," the statement noted.
"We reiterate our strong support for Special Representative
of the Secretary-General Ghassan Salame as he works to realize
an immediate and durable cessation of hostilities in the Libyan
capital, which is a critical step to advancing the political
process in accordance with the United Nations Action Plan," it
added.
"As the Secretary-General noted on September 2, all parties
should immediately cease hostilities and abide by the ceasefire
agreement brokered by the United Nations. We call on all Libyan
parties to refrain from any actions that could undermine today's
ceasefire announcement, jeopardize the security of civilians, or
set back Libyan efforts to advance the political process and
move forward in the spirit of compromise."
"We also reiterate support for the President of the
Presidency Council, Fayez al-Sarraj, and the Government of
National Accord as they work in partnership with the United
Nations to promote reconciliation and support a Libyan-led
political process," it concluded. (ANSAmed).
