Mr. Kariuki
As penholder, the United Kingdom worked hard to try to secure a substantive renewal of the mandate of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya. It was disappointing that the Security Council was unable to reach agreement on our proposed text. Nonetheless, we thank Council members for the flexibility shown throughout the negotiations.
I would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm once agai…
Ms. Bongo
Gabon voted in favour of the technical rollover of the mandate of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL). Maintaining the Security Council’s consensus on this issue was the main basis for our vote. However, we cannot fail to underscore and regret the fact that this is the second technical rollover, which reflects the scope of the substantive divisions within the Council. It is regre…
Mr. Kiboino
Kenya voted to renew the mandate of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya because it is a critical support tool for a Libyanled and -owned peace process. We acknowledge the joint efforts of fellow members of the Security Council in seeking the best possible support to Libya. However, we believe that the Mission would have been better enabled through a substantive mandate renewal. That would…
Mr. Kelly
First, I wish to express our appreciation for the tireless efforts of the United Kingdom as penholder.
Ireland voted in favour of resolution 2619 (2022) today. However, we regret that at this critical juncture in Libya’s transition, the Council has once again failed to find consensus on a substantive resolution that would equip the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) to achieve opti…
Ms. Shaheen
My delegation would like to express its appreciation to the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) for all its efforts. We commend its role in supporting the peace process in Libya, which is led and owned by our Libyan brothers. The United Arab Emirates also values the efforts made by UNSMIL within its mandate to support the reaching of a national consensus on the holding of elections.

Mrs. Aguiar Barboza
Brazil voted in favour of technical rollover resolution 2619 (2022), on the mandate of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), because it understands that the alternative would send an even more negative message to the Libyan people about the Security Council’s commitment to the stabilization of their country.
But the way in which the text of the resolution was negotiated was far f…
Mrs. Broadhurst Estival
By voting in favour of resolution 2619 (2022), France reaffirmed its support for the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL).
Nonetheless, we deplore the fact that the Council did not reach an agreement on a substantive renewal of the Mission’s mandate. Indeed, following the postponement of the first round of the presidential elections scheduled for 24 December 2021, Libya is at
a crit…
Ms. Dautllari
Albania would like to extend its appreciation to the United Kingdom for leading the negotiations on the renewal of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) and deplores the fact that no consensus was reached in support of the mandate as originally proposed.
Albania voted in favour of the technical rollover of the Mission, hoping that in future unity among the members of the Security …
Mr. Ochoa Martínez
At the outset, I should like to express my delegation’s support for the work of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), which is why we supported the technical rollover of the mandate.
However, like other delegations that spoke before me, I would like to note our disappointment at the fact that important agreements on the reconfiguration of and adjustments to the work of the Missio…
Mr. DeLaurentis
Today’s vote is a suboptimal outcome for the Libyan people and a poor reflection on the Council. The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) plays an essential role in supporting the political process, assisting with the unification of institutions and, importantly, strengthening the capabilities of the High National Electoral Commission.
UNSMIL also plays an essential role in the imple…
Ms. Evstigneeva
The Russian Federation voted in favour of
resolution 2619 (2022), rolling over the mandate of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) until 30 April of this year, based, first and foremost, on our conviction that there is no alternative to reaching a comprehensive peace settlement to the Libyan crisis under the auspices of the United Nations.
We encourage all Libyan players to make…
Mr. Sun Zhiqiang
We welcome the consensus adoption of the technical rollover of the mandate for the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) (resolution 2619 (2022)). Elections are an important step in Libya’s political process. The Libyan people are looking forward to establishing a national governance structure that is coordinated, unified and stable for the long term, so that they can usher in a new ph…
The President
I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Norway.
Norway regrets that the Security Council was not able to agree on a substantial update to the mandate of the
United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL). The last substantial draft presented by the penholder on 24 January was the result of lengthy negotiations in September as well as this month. Norway supported a…
