The UN supports the political settlement agreement in Libya and opposes any changes achieved by military means, the official representative of the UN Secretary-General Stephane Dujarric said at a briefing, commenting on the statement of the Libyan National Army that it was taking over the country and ending the Skhirat agreement.
"Our position is unchanged. For us, the Libyan political agreement and its institutions remain the only internationally recognized form of government in Libya, as confirmed by the UN Security Council resolution. Any political changes should take place in a democratic way, not through military actions, " the diplomat stressed.
The commander of the Libyan National Army Marshal Khalifa Haftar announced the withdrawal from the Skhirat agreement yesterday.
The Presidential Council of the Government of National Accord of Libya called it a farce and an attempt at a new coup in the country.
