<p>Ongoing instability and increased violence are a serious threat to Libya’s future.
The wider region is threatened by the increasing presence of terrorist organisations
and the facilitation of illegal migration. The UK is particularly concerned about
the growing threat from extremist groups affiliated with ISIL in Libya. Only a stable
and representative Government of National Accord (GNA) can deal with the political
and security challenges Libya faces. I discussed this with visiting members of the
House of Representatives and Libyan activists during my recent visit to Tunisia.</p><p>The
UK remains fully committed to supporting the work of Special Representative of the
Secretary General Leon to find a lasting political and security settlement in Libya.
An agreement on a GNA is an essential first step to normalising Libya, and needs to
be accompanied by a monitored ceasefire, withdrawal of armed groups from the cities
and a comprehensive security plan.</p>
