Libya: Women call for full, equal, safe participation in public life - Briefing | United Nations

UN Special Representative for Libya Hanna Serwaa Tetteh said that critical infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable to pressures that the country cannot ignore due to its impact on people across all three regions of the country. Addressing the Security Council, Tetteh said, “The need to move Libya’s political process forward remains crucial. The recent widespread electricity outages and public discontent, exacerbated by a prolonged heatwave, have exposed the consequences of institutional fragmentation, large-scale diversion of public resources, underinvestment and uncoordinated decision-making, all of which are essentially failures of governance.” She said, “The crisis highlights a striking paradox. According to National Oil Corporation (NOC) data, approximately USD 1 billion is spent monthly on fuel imports, yet electricity systems remain vulnerable to fuel shortages. Evidence of large-scale diversion of subsidised fuel in the electricity and security sectors, as I have highlighted in previous briefings and has also been reported by the panel of experts, underscores the need for stronger oversight, accountability and coordination to ensure public resources are used to deliver the essential services Libyans depend on. The diversion of subsidised fuel is an unacceptable abuse of public resources and those responsible must be investigated and held accountable.” She reported, “On 9 August the Governor of the Central Bank of Libya submitted a letter to the two chambers requesting to be relieved of his position. The move is an indication of the mounting pressure on the Central Bank - precisely the pressure the Unified Development Programme spending framework was intended to contain. The concerns raised by the Governor should be treated with seriousness and a sense of urgency. We encourage the Central Bank to resume publication of its monthly revenue and expenditure bulletins as previously announced in an effort to promote greater transparency and accountability.” She also noted that Benghazi experienced a violent incident with the assassination of Major General Fawzi Mansuri, Director of the Military Intelligence Department for the LNA, on 10 August, in a reported car bombing. She condemned “such acts of targeted violence and urge the authorities to investigate and hold those responsible accountable.” She said, “Regrettably, the fragmentation of the judiciary persists. The conflicting outcomes of judicial challenges filed in relation to the dismissal and appointment of the intelligence chief demonstrate why this situation also needs to be addressed urgently. She also said, “ Women in Libya continue to call for their full, equal, meaningful and safe participation in public life. I am concerned by the increase in hate speech, intimidation and misinformation targeting women and seeking to silence or marginalise their voices.” She highlighted, “The UNSMIL-facilitated roadmap has made important progress. The Structured Dialogue concluded and the first two milestones of the roadmap have advanced, including on some of the most sensitive issues. However, it is important to note that progress does not solely require the efforts of UNSMIL but a sustained willingness of the Libyan political actors to engage constructively.”

Libya, Yemen, Saudi Arabia & other topics - Daily Press Briefing (18 Aug 2026) | United Nations

Noon Briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: Security Council Yemen/Saudi Arabia Occupied Palestinian Territory Ukraine Democratic Republic of the Congo Chad Afghanistan Colombia SECURITY COUNCIL Hanna Tetteh, the Secretary-General's Special Representative for the United Nations in Libya, briefed the Security Council. She told members that Libya now enters a critical phase, that of advancing unified institutions and the conditions necessary for inclusive elections. Ms. Tetteh told Council members that the consequences of Libya's divisions are visible in daily life. Power cuts in July disrupted electricity and water supplies for hundreds of thousands of people and have continued into August, in the middle of a long heatwave. Despite these challenges, Ms. Tetteh pointed to the meeting in Sirte in July when the two Chiefs of General Staff from the West and East, who agreed on the principle to establish a joint border force and to undertake joint exercises, regular communications and harmonised training. YEMEN/SAUDI ARABIA Turning to the situation in the Arabian Peninsula, between Yemen and Saudi Arabia. We are deeply concerned by reports of attacks by the Houthis against targets in Saudi Arabia. Such attacks risk further entangling Yemen in the wider regional confrontation, at a time when the region is already facing intense pressure and regional trade and energy flows are under severe strain. Attacks and threats against shipping must also stop, and freedom of navigation in both the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden must be upheld. We again call on the parties to respect their obligations to protect civilians, to protect civilian infrastructure. The Special Envoy, Hans Grundberg, has stressed this imperative in all his engagements with the parties. OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY Turning to the Occupied Palestinian Territory. I can tell you that we are deeply alarmed by the continued deterioration of the security and humanitarian situation for Palestinian in the occupied West Bank. Our humanitarian colleagues tell us that in the northern West Bank yesterday, Israeli forces instructed about 10 Palestinian families in Jabal An Nasr neighbourhood in Tulkarm to leave their homes for seven hours, due to military activities near the adjacent Nur Shams camp for Palestine refugees. Israeli military bulldozers excavated part of a road, damaging water and sewage networks, and carried out excavation works on Palestinian land before withdrawing. Families reportedly returned to their homes, and municipal crews repaired the damaged infrastructure once Israeli security forces withdrew from the area. These incidents are taking place against the backdrop of a broader deterioration in the West Bank, where escalating violence, expanding settler presence, severe restrictions on movement and access for Palestinians, and shrinking economic opportunities have become the norm. Turning to Gaza, we and our partners continue to deliver aid, support essential services and facilitate critical humanitarian operations wherever it is possible for us to do so. Since Sunday, we and our partners have successfully coordinated with the Israeli authorities to carry out several missions in Gaza, including the Kerem Shalom/Karem Abu Salem and Rafah crossings, to monitor humanitarian cargo, and collect fuel and support medical evacuations. The scale of needs remains immense. Our colleagues at the Food and Agriculture Organization also warned yesterday that Gaza’s agricultural capacity has been devastated. A new assessment found that only 3 per cent of cropland remains both accessible and undamaged, further undermining local food production and farmers’ livelihoods. At the same time, our humanitarian partners are concerned about the impact of continued Israeli military activities on civilians. Since yesterday and as of this morning, our partners leading on security and safety reported incidents involving Israeli air strikes, shelling, gunfire and naval fire, primarily west of the so-called “Yellow Line,” that’s where most of Gaza’s 2.1 million residents are forced to be confined, and that is less than half of the Strip’s territory.

Devising an end to hunger, with Máximo Torero Cullen | FAO Chief Economist | Awake at Night

Máximo Torero Cullen is one of the world’s leading voices on global hunger and food security. Currently serving as Chief Economist at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), he uses his economic expertise to work towards the goal of a world where nobody goes to bed hungry. “I have been through many problems in life, which I have learned a lot as an economist. I was in the hyperinflation in Peru. I was in wars in Peru and terrorism... I have been in massive earthquake situations. So I have seen a lot, but I never expected how complex this sector would become.” FAO partners with governments around the world to invest in areas with untapped agricultural potential, transforming lives in rural farming communities. It also works to secure the global food supply during crises such as the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, or the crisis in Strait of Hormuz. In this episode, Máximo Torero Cullen reflects on the process of dampening food price shocks, on investing in sustainable nutrition, and shares why he always trusts the knowledge of farmers.
