<p>The UK remains deeply concerned by the security situation in Libya. Recent violence
in Tripoli has highlighted the need for more sustainable security arrangements not
just in the capital but across the whole of the country. We strongly condemn any threats
or use of force which endanger civilians, threaten stability or undermine the UN-led
political process.</p><p>The political situation in Libya remains complex. We are
clear that the only way of achieving stability in Libya is through an inclusive political
settlement. The UK strongly supports UN Special Representative Ghassan Salamé and
welcomes his plan for a National Conference to take place in early 2019. This is intended
to bring together a wide range of Libyan stakeholders in order to seek broader consensus
on key questions relating to Libya's political transition. In addition to our support
of the UN-led political process, we continue to play an active role in wider efforts
to stabilise Libya. This year we have allocated £12 million through the Conflict,
Stability and Security Fund to boost political participation and economic development,
and to support the delivery of greater security, stability and resilience, including
through tackling extremism.</p>
