The UK takes very seriously any reports of breaches of the UN Arms Embargo, which include imports of products such as aviation fuel destined for military use. These will be considered by the UN Sanctions Committee, which can decide to designate individuals or entities who undermine Libya's peace and security. The UK takes action against all individuals and entities so designated.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 31/03/2020 14:36:33 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

This month, I met separately with Libyan Prime Minister Serraj and with Interior Minister Bashaga. Ministers are also in regular contact on Libya with their European partners. The Prime Minister represented the UK at the Berlin Conference on Libya on 19 January, alongside other European and international leaders, and urged those present to respect the UN Arms Embargo and support a ceasefire. The conclusions of the Berlin Conference were endorsed by UK-drafted UN Security Council resolution 2510 (2020). In February, I attended the first meeting of the International Follow Up Committee to the Berlin Conference, in Munich.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly grouped question UIN 33482 question first answered 31/03/2020 14:38:59 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly
