#StephanieKoury, #OperationIRINI
The Acting Head of the United Nations Mission in Libya, Stephanie Koury, has emphasized the importance of enforcing the UN arms embargo for Libya’s stability. This came during her visit to the IRINI HQ of the European Naval Force in the Mediterranean. Koury met with Rear Admiral Guillaume Fontarensky, who briefed her on their operations and challenges.
Turkey has refused to allow the European Maritime Operation IRINI team to inspect a ship heading to Libya, according to the operation's account on the X platform. IRINI reported that Turkey yesterday again rejected a request to inspect the ship "MV MATILDE A" in accordance with Security Council Resolution No. 2292/2016 on the arms embargo on Libya.

BRUSSELS (AP) — A confidential European Union military report calls for continuing a controversial EU program to train and equip Libya’s coast guard and navy despite growing concerns about their treatment of migrants, a mounting death toll at sea, and the continued lack of any central authority in the North African nation.
