Security Council Renews Authorization to Inspect Vessels Suspected of Violating Libya Arms Embargo, Adopting Resolution 2684 (2023)

The Security Council decided to renew measures designed to implement the arms embargo against Libya for another year, in particular those authorizing Member States — acting nationally or through regional organizations — to inspect vessels on the high seas off Libya’s coast believed to be in violation of the arms embargo imposed on that country.

Adopting resolution 2684 (2023) (to be issued as document S/RES/2684(2023)) by a vote of 14 in favour to none against, with 1 abstention (Russian Federation), the Council extended the authorizations set out in its resolution 2635 (2022) for a further 12 months. It also requested the Secretary-General to report on the implementation of today’s resolution within 6 and 11 months.
