members welcomed the progress made by the Libyan Government.
He said that this progress under the stewardship of Prime Minister Ali Zidan, and encouraged it to continue this progress, delivering concrete results.
The Members of the Security Council called for continued and sustained engagement by the international community aimed at supporting the Libyan Government's efforts to increase the effectiveness and capacity of its security and justice sector institutions, to complete a successful transition to democracy and to develop the Libyan economy and to improve the provision of public services.
However, the Security Council members expressed deep concern about the recent acts of violence in Benghazi that claimed the lives of a number of people, and called upon all Libyans to rally around their legitimate institutions, both civilian and military.
The members of UNSC stressed the necessity to reject violence in all its forms and to resolve disagreements peacefully and through dialogue. They encouraged all Libyans to engage with the political process of reconciliation and constitutional reform through peaceful and inclusive means, underpinned by respect for the rule of law.
They expressed serious concern about the continued arbitrary detentions without access to due process of thousands of persons held outside the authority of the State and called for their immediate release or transfer to detention centres under State authority.
The members further condemned cases of torture and mistreatment observed in illegal detention centres in Libya, and emphasised that practices of torture and extrajudicial killing should not be tolerated in Libya.
They called upon the Libyan authorities to investigate all violations of human rights and bring the perpetrators of such acts to justice.
In that regard, they welcomed recent legislative initiatives undertaken by Libya’s General National Congress, GNC, and also noted the importance of the cooperation of the Libyan authorities with the International Criminal Court and the Prosecutor.
They said they recognised the important role played by UNSMIL and expressed their support to its work.
