António Guterres, the U.N. Secretary-General, has welcomed the agreement reached in Geneva earlier this week by the 5+5 Joint Military Committee on an action plan for the withdrawal of foreign forces from Libyan territory.
“The Secretary-General applauds the unity of purpose prevailing within the 5+5 JMC and calls on all Libyan and international actors to work towards the implementation of this Action Plan,” Stéphane Dujarric, Guterres’ spokesman, on Monday.
“The Secretary-General trusts that the deployment of an initial team of United Nations ceasefire monitors will contribute to creating the conditions for successful implementation of the Action Plan,” he added.
