EU Border Assistance Mission in Libya Extended Until 2027

EU Border Assistance Mission in Libya Extended Until 2027
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The European Council has officially extended the mandate of its Integrated Border Assistance Mission in Libya, known as EUBAM Libya, for an additional two years. The mission will now continue its operations until 30 June 2027.

Announced via the mission’s official social media account, the extension comes with a renewed budget of approximately €52 million. EUBAM Libya will continue to support Libyan authorities in enhancing their capacity to manage borders and combat cross-border crime. This includes tackling human trafficking, migrant smuggling, and terrorism.

The extended mandate will allow the mission to provide continued technical advice, capacity-building support, and the implementation of various projects. EUBAM will also facilitate training courses and workshops, with a strong emphasis on international human rights standards and gender-sensitive approaches.

Established in May 2013 under the EU’s Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP), EUBAM Libya is currently led by Jan Vyčítal. Over the years, the mission has played a vital role in improving Libya’s border control systems and institutional frameworks, particularly along the country’s porous land and maritime borders.

The decision to prolong EUBAM’s presence comes amid a prolonged political stalemate in Libya. The country remains divided between rival administrations in the east and west, complicating international efforts to bring about lasting stability. The failure to hold presidential elections as planned in December 2021 has further delayed the political transition.

Despite the challenges, the EU remains committed to supporting Libyan sovereignty, border security, and the rule of law. EUBAM’s continued presence underscores Europe’s strategic interest in managing migration flows and addressing security threats emanating from North Africa.
