The Governments of France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States condemn this weekend’s attacks on Zueitina, Ras Lanuf, Es Sider, and Brega oil terminals in Libya.\u00a0 We call on all parties to undertake an immediate ceasefire and to refrain from any further hostilities.\u00a0 We also call on all forces to avoid any action that could damage Libya’s energy infrastructure or further disrupt its exports.\u00a0 Libya’s oil belongs to the Libyan people.\u00a0\u00a0The Presidency Council (PC) is the sole steward of these resources.\u00a0 The PC and other Government of National Accord (GNA) institutions have an obligation to ensure oil revenues are used to provide essential services for the Libyan people.\u00a0 Oil infrastructure, production, and export must remain under the exclusive control of the National Oil Corporation (NOC) acting under the GNA\u2019s authority.\u00a0 We call for all military forces that have moved into the oil crescent to withdraw immediately, without preconditions.<\/p>\n
The Governments of France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States reaffirm their full support for the GNA as Libya’s sole executive authority.\u00a0\u00a0Libyan forces should unite in fighting Da\u2019esh and other UN-designated terrorist groups.\u00a0 Violence against fellow Libyans undermines Libya\u2019s stability and encourages division. Political agreements, not conflicts, must determine Libya\u2019s future. Creating a unified, capable national security force under GNA authority is Libya’s best hope for protecting its resources for the benefit of all its people.\u00a0 We urge peaceful cooperation among Libya’s armed forces and immediate efforts to unify into one professional military force.\u00a0 All Libyan forces have a responsibility to serve the entire nation, and to act on behalf of all Libyans.\u00a0 We welcome efforts by partners to encourage all forces to avoid further clashes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We reiterate our intent to enforce UNSCR 2259, including measures concerning illicit oil exports, activities which could damage the integrity and unity of Libyan State financial institutions and the NOC, and individuals and entities engaging in or providing support for acts that threaten the unity, peace, stability or security of Libya.<\/p>\n
