answer text <p>We are aware of reports of arms shipments from Libya to Syria during the period in question. It was out of concern about the situation in Libya, including flows of arms, that the UK supported UN Security Council Resolution 1970 in 2011, which imposed an arms embargo.

We continue to work with our partners in the UN to support the implementation of the embargo, and to address reports of violations.</p> more like this
