Description

Updating its sanctions regime concerning Libya today, the Security Council exempted certain activities from the arms embargo on that country, allowed for the investment of its frozen assets and created new sanctions designations for those involved in the illicit trade in Libyan petroleum products. 

Adopting resolution 2769 (2025) (to be issued as document S/RES/2769(2025)) by a vote of 14 in favour to none against, with one abstention (Russian Federation), the Council — acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations — demanded full compliance with that arms embargo, called on all Member States not to exacerbate or intervene in the conflict and reiterated that those individuals or entities determined to have violated the provisions of resolution 1970 (2011) are subject to designation.
