The UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office announced that the UN Security Council has adopted Resolution 2819, which extends the arms embargo and the freezing of Libyan assets. According to the official statement, this resolution strengthens existing measures designed to prevent the illicit exploitation or unauthorized export of Libyan crude oil and petroleum products from the country.
The resolution further encourages member states to participate in auditing processes related to the frozen assets of the Libyan Investment Authority. The Foreign Office noted that the measures regarding the asset freeze have been updated to facilitate the transfer of roles between depository banks. This update is intended to ensure the continued protection and preservation of these frozen funds for the ultimate benefit of the Libyan people.
