UN Security Council’s validity put to test by the Libyan conflict

The United Nations Security Council has once again failed to issue resolutions that reflect a unified stance on Libya and was only able to hold another briefing for the UN envoy Ghassan Salame and other deliberations that brought up nothing useful to Libyans.

The international community has been beating around the bush about Libya since last April, when Tripoli fighting broke out, and is only expressing concerns while sitting idly by with no proper actions.

The failure of the Security Council to issue abiding resolutions regarding the conflict in Libya has varied dramatically from inactions to airstrikes on migration center in Tajoura to targeting Tripoli’s Mitiga Airport, amid the control of certain countries, which support one party over the other in Libya, over the decisions at the Security Council with their irrevocable vetoes.

Yet, the escalation in Libya has put the Security Council’s validity to test with no pivotal decisions being made while warring parties are left to do their own thing on the ground as the stakeholders watch on.
