Libya - Security Council, 10029th meeting
The Security Council today extended the United Nations Support Mission in Libya or UNSMIL’s mandate for one year until 31 October 2026, reiterating its full support for the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Libya and Head of the Mission, Hanna S. Tetteh, in her efforts to further an inclusive political process.
Unanimously adopting resolution 2796 (2025) (to be issued as document S/RES/2796(2025)), the Council encouraged the Mission to implement the recommendations of the Strategic Review (contained in document S/2025/611). The recommendations include the following: continuing to place the support of a political solution to the Libyan conflict at the core of the Mission’s mandate; streamlining UNSMIL’s workstreams to advance Libya’s political process; and establishing a more consistent presence across Libya, including targeted expansions of the Mission in Benghazi and Sabha while maintaining a cost-neutral realignment and within existing resources.
