The UK fully supports the UN-facilitated, Libyan led and owned political process. Successful free, fair and inclusive elections will be a crucial step in this process, and the Libyan people have made clear their aspirations to have a say in who governs them. The UK is working with Libyan and international partners - including the UN Secretary-General's Special Advisor Stephanie Williams, the United Nation's Support Mission in Libya, and the United Nations Secretary-General - to pursue this priority, supporting Libya's sovereignty and national unity, and putting the country on a path to sustained peace, security and prosperity.
