The Secretary-General spoke this morning with Libyan Foreign Minister Mr. Musa Kusa, and strongly appealed for an end to the hostilities and for full compliance with Security Council resolution 1970. He urged the authorities in Tripoli to respect the human rights of all the country’s people, and to lift restrictions on the media.
The Secretary-General discussed the increasingly troubling humanitarian situation, in particular the plight of migrant workers, and called on the authorities to ensure the safety of all foreign nationals and unhindered access for humanitarian organizations to people in need. In this regard, he suggested the immediate dispatch of a humanitarian assessment team to Tripoli, a request that was agreed to by the Foreign Minister.
