<p>The UK is at the forefront of international efforts to support Libya’s political
stability and reform. As part of the Department for International Development’s £75
million migration programme working along the Central Mediterranean route, up to £5
million will be allocated to humanitarian assistance and protection for migrants and
refugees in Libya. Alongside this, we continue to help fund the European Union Trust
Fund, which works in a number of countries, including Libya, where it focuses on improving
conditions for migrants in detention centres. Alongside this the UK has also committed
to increase efforts to tackle smuggling and trafficking by building the capacity of
Libyan law enforcement agencies, and taking steps to hold those responsible to account.
In June 2018, the UK co-designated UN sanctions against six Libyan and Eritrean traffickers
along with France, US, Germany and the Netherlands.</p>
