Supporting the ICC Prosecutor's ongoing investigations in Libya Statement by Chanaka Wickremasinghe, UK Legal Adviser at the UN, at the Security Council briefing on ICC Libya From: Thank you, Mr President. Mr President, I would like to offer my thanks to the Prosecutor, Madame Bensouda, for briefing us today on her 21st report on the situation in Libya. The UK welcomes recent political progress in Libya, including the appointment of the interim Government of National Unity (GNU). As noted in UNSCR 2570, this government is charged with making the necessary preparations for inclusive, transparent and credible national Presidential and Parliamentary elections on 24 December 2021. As part of the process towards securing a sustainable political settlement, the GNU must start the process of national reconciliation and provide accountability and justice for atrocity crimes, and I encourage the GNU to work with the Office of the Prosecutor to achieve these goals and to facilitate the work of the UN Fact Finding Mission in Libya.
