"Statement by Ambassador Usman Jadoon, Deputy Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the UN at the Security Council Briefing and Consultations on UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) (18 June 2026) **** Madam President, We thank SRSG Ms. Hanna Tetteh for her detailed briefing and appreciate her continued engagement with Libyan stakeholders to advance political reconciliation and national unity. 2. We welcome the participation of the distinguished Permanent Representative of Libya. Madam President, 3. Libya is a brotherly country to Pakistan, and we remain steadfast in our support for its sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and national unity. 4. Allow me to highlight five points: First, Pakistan underscores that a Libyan-led and Libyan-owned political process remains the only viable pathway to lasting peace, stability and prosperity in Libya. We welcome UNSMIL's continued efforts to facilitate dialogue among Libyan stakeholders, including through the recent smaller-convening consultations and Structured Dialogue process. We note the positive developments in the smaller-convening consultations on the reconstitution of the Board of the High National Elections Commission (HNEC), as well as the commitment of participants to continue engagement on the electoral framework. We hope these efforts will help create the much needed momentum towards the implementation of the political roadmap. We also note that the members of the Structured Dialogue recently concluded their work and presented their comprehensive recommendations across the four tracks. It is important that these recommendations contribute to building consensus among Libyan stakeholders and support the broader objective of institutional reunification and national reconciliation. Second, on the security track, continued engagement among Libyan stakeholders, supported by UNSMIL and international partners, has helped maintain relative calm. In this regard, the recent incidents of violence in and around Zawiya underscore that efforts must continue to foster dialogue among all concerned parties. We welcome contacts between security and military institutions from eastern and western Libya, as well as other confidence-building measures aimed at advancing the long-term objective of unified national security institutions. Third, the economic track remains central to achieving sustainable peace and long-term stability in Libya. We encourage the full implementation of the Unified Spending Framework for 2026 as it would lead to greater fiscal coordination and economic stability. Fourth, we reaffirm our support for all Libyan-led efforts to preserve the judicial unity, advance the rule of law, and strengthen the mechanisms of constitutional oversight ]. Lastly, Pakistan reiterates the importance of safeguarding Libya's frozen assets and ensuring their preservation for the benefit of the Libyan people. In this regard, we call for an expedited adoption of the Implementation Assistance Notice aimed at facilitating the implementation of resolution 2769 (2025). Mr. President, 5. In conclusion, Pakistan reaffirms its commitment to a stable, secure and united Libya. We will continue to work constructively in support of a Libyan-led and Libyan-owned pathway towards lasting peace, stability and prosperity. I thank you. *************"
