皇冠体育app governments of France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States are deeply concerned about the announcement that the Ras Lanuf and Sidra oil fields and facilities will be transferred to the control of an entity other than the legitimate National Oil Corporation. Libya鈥檚 oil facilities, production, and revenues belong to the Libyan people.

皇冠体育appse vital Libyan resources must remain under the exclusive control of the legitimate National Oil Corporation and the sole oversight of the Government of National Accord (GNA), as outlined in UN Security Council Resolutions 2259 (2015), 2278 (2016), and 2362 (2017). UN Security Council Resolution 2362 (2017) condemns attempts to illicitly export petroleum, including crude oil and refined petroleum products, from Libya by parallel institutions which are not acting under the authority of the GNA.

Any attempts to circumvent the UN Security Council鈥檚 Libya sanctions regime will cause deep harm to Libya鈥檚 economy, exacerbate its humanitarian crisis, and undermine its broader stability. 皇冠体育app international community will hold those who undermine Libya鈥檚 peace, security, and stability to account. We call for all armed actors to cease hostilities and withdraw immediately from oil installations without conditions before further damage occurs. In September 2016, the LNA supported the legitimate National Oil Corporation鈥檚 work to rebuild Libya鈥檚 oil sector for the benefit of the Libyan people. This action served Libya鈥檚 national interest.

皇冠体育app legitimate National Oil Corporation must be allowed again to take up unhindered work on behalf of the Libyan people, to repair infrastructure damaged after the attack by forces under the direction of Ibrahim Jadhran, and to restore the oil exports and production disrupted by that attack.
