UN General Assembly
2021

One of the purposes of the United Nations is the coordination of international efforts to address the challenges, crises and threats facing the world. As a State Member of the Organization, my country has always been an active participant in the international efforts of the United Nations system. Libya has always condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, irrespective of its sources, motives and justifications. We have always stressed that terrorism is an international phenomenon that should not be linked to any religion or belief. We suffered one of the world’s most ferocious and worst forms of terrorism throughout Libya. We sacrificed our youth to free it from terrorism. The whole world, near and far, witnessed our epic action to uproot the Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham from the pure land of Libya. By doing that, we made a great contribution to the global counter-terrorism efforts at the regional and international levels.
