Welcoming the holding of the 20 February 2014 election of the Constitutional
Drafting Assembly and urging political leaders to complete the formation of the
assembly and to work with minority communities to ensure their proper
representation in the constitutional drafting process,
Expressing grave concern at the worsening security situation and political
divisions in Libya, including abductions, assassinations, and violent clashes between
armed groups, in particular in the east of Libya and along its southern borders,
which threaten to undermine the transition to democracy that meets the aspirations
of the Libyan people,
Expressing support to efforts by the Libyan government to resolve peacefully
the disruptions of Libya’s energy exports and reiterating that control of all facilities
should be transferred back to the proper authorities,
Recalling its decision in resolution 1970 (2011) to refer the situation in Libya
to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, and the importance of
cooperation for ensuring that those responsible for violations of human rights and
international humanitarian law, including attacks targeting civilians, are held
accountable,
Expressing grave concern at the lack of judicial process for conflict-related
detainees, including children, many of whom continue to be held outside state
authority, and at reports of human rights violations and abuses, including torture and
sexual and gender-based violence, in detention centres, and, in that regard,
underlining that all parties in Libya should extend full cooperation to UNSMIL on
all issues pertaining to the promotion and protection of human rights,
Welcoming actions by the Libyan government to address human rights issues,
including the promulgation of a transitional justice law on 8 December 2013, the
law against torture and discrimination on 9 April 2013 and the decree to redress the
situation of victims of rape and violence adopted on 19 February 2014,
Reiterating that the voluntary, safe and sustainable return of refugees and
internally displaced persons will be an important factor for the consolidation of
peace in Libya,
Expressing concern at the threat posed by unsecured arms and ammunition in
Libya and their proliferation, which poses a risk to stability in Libya and the region,
including through transfer to terrorist and violent extremist groups and underlining
the importance of coordinated international support to Libya and the region to
address these issues,
Acknowledging in this respect the important contribution the Council mandated arms embargo can make in assisting Libya to counter the illicit transfer of
small arms and light weapons, and in supporting post-conflict peacebuilding,
disarmament, demobilization and reintegration and security sector reform,
Reminding all Member States of the obligations contained in its resolutions
1970 (2011) and 1973 (2011), as modified in its subsequent resolutions, in particular
those obligations relating to arms and related materiel of all types,
Supporting the Libyan government’s intention to strengthen regional security,
