The United States has reaffirmed its support for military integration between eastern and western Libya as a key measure to protect the country’s borders and enhance its sovereignty.
The commitment was made by the US representative during a UN Security Council session on Tuesday focused on developments in Libya.
Speaking before the Council, the US diplomat emphasized that the Libyan people do not seek involvement in further regional conflicts, such as those unfolding in the Sahel or Sudan. Instead, she stressed that the Libyan public is looking for a path to internal unity, peace, and institutional consolidation.
The US representative referred to the recent armed clashes in Tripoli in mid-May, describing them as a reminder of Libya’s fragile security landscape. She welcomed the Presidential Council’s response—specifically the creation of a Joint Security Committee and plans to establish a unified force responsible for maintaining public order—as a constructive step toward long-term stability.
She also noted that the June 20 meeting of the Berlin Process International Follow-Up Committee provided an important platform for the international community to reaffirm its collective support for Libya’s political roadmap. According to the US, sustained international coordination is essential to help Libyans overcome divisions and build effective governance.
Additionally, the US envoy underscored the importance of safeguarding the independence of Libya’s sovereign economic institutions. She highlighted that a neutral and well-functioning economic system is critical for restoring public trust and ensuring equitable resource distribution across all regions.
The United States reiterated its support for a Libyan-led, UN-facilitated political process and reaffirmed its commitment to working with all stakeholders toward a peaceful, unified, and democratic Libya.
