UN extends its political mission for three months in war-ridden country Libya with Russia vetoing a prolongation until a new UN envoy is appointed
The divided UN Security Council has adopted a resolution extending its political mission in Libya by just three months, with Russia vetoing a prolongation until a new UN envoy is appointed.
UNSMIL's annual mandate was renewed in September for only four months, before being extended in January for another three months. But faced with Russian resistance, the text transformed into a technical renewal of the current mandate for only three months.On April 19, during a closed-door meeting, the UN Secretariat had called for a longer renewal to give time to recruit an envoy.
Libya has been mired in conflict for long stretches since longtime dictator Muammar Gaddafi was deposed and killed in a NATO-backed uprising in 2011.
