The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) has expressed concern regarding the unauthorized use of UN agency logos within the context of a political initiative circulating on social media. In a statement posted on its official Facebook page, the mission clarified that such usage creates a misleading impression that these international bodies are associated with or endorse such activities.
Commitment to the Official Roadmap
The mission emphasized that the political roadmap presented to the Security Council on August 21 by Hanna Tetteh, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, remains the official framework governing the United Nations’ political engagement in Libya. This remains the definitive reference for the UN’s stance and its ongoing involvement in the political process.
Call for Information Verification
Furthermore, the UN mission urged all users to verify information through official channels before sharing it. It highlighted that the dissemination of inaccurate content could lead to widespread confusion, undermine public trust, and further exacerbate existing political tensions
