We urged all those who were invited to attend a second round of talks in Geneva this week.

uin	HL4422
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/02/2015 answer text <p>The UK’s objective is for Libya to return to a peaceful post-revolution transition, resulting in a stable, open and democratic government that meets the needs of its people and contributes to wider regional stability and security. I refer the noble Lord to the Joint Statement on Libya by France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, US, EU and UN on 3 December 2014. As part of that statement, the UK and partners strongly endorsed the UN’s efforts to work with key stakeholders to build a national unity government for Libya, and committed themselves to support such a government. We commend those who have participated in the UN discussions in Geneva. We strongly urge all other Libyan parties to engage seriously in this process to avert a further deterioration in the humanitarian situation experienced by ordinary Libyans as a result of the ongoing conflict, and to prevent the further erosion of Libya’s security.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 04/02/2015 14:08:50 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
