Sanctions To Be Imposed If Arms Embargo Violated in Libya

-






Leaders of eleven nations get together to cement the peaceful future of Libya at the Berlin Summit

In a recently concluded Berlin summit, world leaders contemplated a permanent solution to the unstable conditions of governance in Libya. The common consensus is for an ‘enduring ceasefire’ that cannot be achieved unless outside forces are stopped from escalating the war conditions by providing military know-how.

It has been agreed that if players like Turkey have to be kept at bay, a stringent arms embargo is important to be in place. The violation of the embargo would be met with stringent sanctions imposed. Country or countries might also have to face the wrath of multinational force.

For the 11 countries in participation, the agenda was the same- to end the war between the UN recognized Libyan government in Tripoli and forces of General Khalifa Haftar. By doing this, the world nations are ensuring Turkey does not get a quick route through Libya to Mediterranean Sea where he has plans of carrying out illegal fossil fuel extractions.

The main protagonists were present at the Summit, spearheaded by Germany under the aegis of the United Nations. This included president of Russia, Turkey apart from France who joined the other global leaders at the talks hosted by the German chancellor, Angela Merkel.

Speaking on the occasion, Britain has offered its expertise on the platter. It feels the need of an international peacekeeping force and that its monitoring could be best done by the Britons. By coming together, world leaders from these 11 nations have sent off a message loud and clear; ‘we discourage external actors from turning Libya into a battleground. 

Rival countries must stop backing either side in the civil war. Both sides are bolstered by arms, mercenaries or cash sent from abroad. This has to stop, for the larger aim of establishing peace in the country.’

 Russia, Jordan and the UAE have all been providing military support to Haftar, while Turkey has come to the aid of the Sarraj government, most notably by sending Syrian rebel fighters to defend Tripoli.
