​Her Majesty's Ambassador to Tripoli and diplomatic staff are doing all they can to support the UN and urge the Libyan Government to facilitate the safe return of the Tawergha Community. The British Ambassador and his predecessor have raised this issue with the Libyan Prime Minister, Fayez As-Serraj, on numerous occasions. British diplomats are also regularly in contact with the Tawergha Local Council, the Misrata Municipal Council, and the Libyan Ministry for Displaced Persons and Migrants.
