United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres announced all parties involved in the conflict in Libya signed a ceasefire in Geneva, during a press conference from UN headquarters in New York City, on Friday.
''I appeal to all stakeholders and regional actors to respect the provisions of the ceasefire agreement and ensure its implementation without delay. I call on the international community to support Libyans in implementing the ceasefire and in bringing an end to the conflict. This includes ensuring the full and unconditional respect for the Security Council arms embargo. And I urge the Libyan parties to maintain the current momentum and show the same determination in reaching a political solution to the conflict, resolving economic issues and addressing the humanitarian situation,'' Guterres said.
Guterres also emphasised that all nations must act in a way to end all conflicts and focus on the fight against COVID-19 on a global scale.
''Now is the time to mobilise all efforts to support the mediations taking place to end the conflicts in Yemen, Afghanistan and in Armenia and Azerbaijan - where active hostilities are causing immense suffering for civilians. There is no military solution for any of these conflicts. The solution must be political,'' he added.
