On 3 March 2026, the UN Security Council issued a statement on Libya urging Libyan stakeholders to engage fully in the political process. The Council reaffirmed support for the UN Special Representative for Libya, Hanna Tetteh, and her roadmap announced on 21 August 2025. It called on parties to participate “fully, seriously and without delay” and to show readiness to compromise. The statement stressed the need for progress towards unifying state institutions, including military and security structures. It highlighted the importance of safeguarding the unity and independence of the judiciary.
The Council underlined the UN’s central role in facilitating a process that is Libyan-led and Libyan-owned. It did not announce new election dates or timelines for the next steps, focusing instead on accelerating political action. Libya remains divided between rival power centres, and the political stalemate continues despite successive mediation initiatives.
