On December 11th, the new United Nations (U.N.) Special Representative for Libya Martin Kobler announced the parties to the country’s political dialogue process reached an agreement to set December 16th as the target date to sign the U.N.-facilitated agreement on forming a national unity government and to bring to an end the crisis that has left 2.4 million Libyans in need of humanitarian assistance. Briefing the U.N. Security Council on the conclusion of negotiations held in Tunisia, Special Representative Kobler reported there would be no reopening of the text of the agreement.

On December 13th, newly appointed U.N. Special Representative for Libya Martin Kobler, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, and Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni held joint press availability at an international summit on Libya held in Rome, Italy.
