The UN Security Council’s unanimous decision yesterday to extend the mandate of the UN Mission in Libya “demonstrates the international community’s strong support for [UN Envoy] Bathily’s efforts to further an inclusive political process leading to elections and a unified government in Libya,” said US Ambassador Richard Norland.
“the United States remains committed to working with the UN, international partners, and Libyan leaders toward this goal,” Norland was quoted as saying by the American embassy a day after the Security Council voted in favor of extending the UN Mission’s mandate for another year.
