Russia calls for restraint on Libya for elections in the country – Politics
UN, 24 November. / TASS /. Russia all sides to show the utmost restraint around Libya, in order to call the Libyan people the legitimate right to elect and be elected. This was stated by the representative of the UN Security Council to the UN Gennady Kuzmin.
The Russian side regrets that the Libyan statehood was destroyed to the ground to please the ambitions of Western countries. According to him, the once prosperous Libya “still lies in ruins, it had to be restored bit by bit.” “As for those who were protected — the civilian population — through the efforts of NATO benefactors, they passed through the horrors of the civil war of all, complete chaos, total disorganization and devastation,” Kuzmin recalled. The diplomat drew attention to the fact that only a decade later in the country “there are positive moments in the simple process of the settlement process in the country.”
“General elections in Libya are scheduled for December 24.
On November 22, the Libyan electoral commission finished accepting documents from applicants for participation in the presidential elections, which are scheduled for December 24 and should be held simultaneously with parliament. On Tuesday, it became known that the secretary general’s special envoy for Libya, Jan Kubish, had resigned the UN.
Commenting on the entry of Karim Khan into the post of Prosecutor of the International, the diplomat hopes that “his arrival <...> will lead to the correction of those significant distortions indicated by <...> delegate [России]For the first time in using the concept of the Libyan situation, there is something that we can express our appreciation for. It’s about honesty, – noted Kuzmin. – The prosecutor’s office openly declares the lack of significant progress in the case. Our delegate has been saying the same thing for a decade. We are glad that the court finally stopped imitating violent activity and recognized the obvious. “
On the whole, according to the Libyan story, the line of the court, as stated by the Deputy Representative of the Russian Federation, remains invariably selective. “All the blame rests on only one of the parties to the conflict. [устаревшее название запрещенной в РФ террористической организации “Исламское государство”] we never saw it, ”he pointed out. – The court is not even trying to investigate illegal NATO airstrikes on Libyan territory, which are used by numerous civilian casualties.
