Violations of an arms embargo in Libya have become a joke and those who breach it must be held to account, a senior UN official has said.
Foreign ministers and other top officials from about a dozen countries gathered on Sunday in Munich to discuss the conflict in Libya and reaffirmed a commitment to respect a much-violated arms embargo and back a full ceasefire.
“The arms embargo has become a joke, we all really need to step up here,” UN Deputy Special Representative to Libya Stephanie Williams said.
“It’s complicated because there are violations by land, sea and air, but it needs to be monitored and there needs to be accountability.”
Germany and the UN hosted the meeting in a bid to maintain pressure to cut off external military support for the warring parties in Libya.
