The UN Security Council has again, by unanimous vote, decided to
follow up on the Resolutions passed in the summer of 2014 and has
unanimously passed two further Resolutions on Libya.
These new resolutions draw attention to the fact that travel
bans against certain persons remain in place, call for a ceasefire,
and draw attention to the growing threat of Islamic
extremism.
Resolution 2214 of 2015 outlines and demonstrates the concern that
the UN has for the increasing threat posed by ISIL, its supporters
and other groups associated with similar terrorist organisations
and the probable effect on the future stability of Libya.
The UN Security Council asked the Sanctions Committee
(established in 2011) to consider requests for arms and equipment
for use by the Libyan Government, (although it does not refer to
which of the two current governments this request is designed to
support). It refers to "use by official Armed Forces to
combat ISIL and similar organisations".
