Mr. De Rivière (France)
By voting in favour of resolution 2599 (2021), France reiterates its full support for the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL). Its efforts are vital in supporting the political transition process and to prepare for the parliamentary and presidential elections to be held on 24 December. Its role is also key in order to move forward with the implementation of the ceasefire agreement of…
Mr. DeLaurentis (United States of America)
Today’s vote is an unfortunate outcome, especially for the Libyan people. It is also an unfortunate outcome for the Security Council. Today we have failed to implement the recommendations from the Secretary-General’s independent strategic review at a crucial time.

Mr. Ben Lagha (Tunisia)

Mr. Dai Bing (China)
After a decade of conflict, Libya is generally on the right track of political transition and national reconstruction. China appreciates the positive efforts by all parties in the country in this respect. China supports the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) in playing a more active and constructive role in helping Libya implement the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) road map …
Mr. Nebenzia (Russian Federation)
The Russian Federation voted in favour of resolution 2599 (2021), which extends the mandate of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) to 31 January 2022. First of all, we are convinced that there is no alternative to a comprehensive, peaceful settlement of the Libyan crisis under the auspices of the United Nations, and the United Nations must play a central role in the process. We …
The President
Before adjourning the meeting, I would like to say that, as the representative of the Russian Federation has pointed out, this is the last scheduled meeting of the Security Council for the month of September. I would therefore like to express the sincere appreciation of the delegation of Ireland for every single member of the Council and for the Secretariat of the Council for all the support tha…
