UNSMIL condemns militia and government security forces clashes

Yesterday, UNSMIL condemned the truce violations between militias and government forces during the Eid holidays in Tripoli, including the violence of Sunday night and the attack on the premises of the High National Election Commission.

UNSMIL urged all parties to respect the truce and not undermine it. ‘‘When conflict occurs in urban areas, the propensity for civil casualties is very high. Law enforcement should have as its main objective not just preventing crime, but importantly the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure as much as possible so that people can go about their daily lives in peace.

The Mission is closely monitoring violations and reminds all to avoid provocative acts and escalation and to resort to dialogue through the truce mechanism.

UNSMIL is actively engaging with key stakeholders to address the emerging challenges to ensure the sustainability of the truce and urges all parties to commit to it.

The Mission reminds all parties that the UNSC called in its recent press release for those responsible for attacks against civilians to be held accountable’’.
