German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas warned on Tuesday that foreign powers that continue to violate an arms embargo designed to stop the flow of weapons into war-torn Libya could face new sanctions.
The German official made the remarks during a visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where he referenced January’s peace summit in Berlin, when international governments expressed their commitment to upholding the long-flouted U.N. embargo.
“Ultimately, we have to be able to rely on everyone who signed the agreement in Berlin … adhering to what they signed,” Deutsche Welle Turkish cited Maas as saying. “I also wouldn’t rule out further sanctions.”
The Berlin peace summit ended with an agreement signed by 16 states and organisations to more strictly enforce the U.N. arms embargo and end military backing for the North African country’s warring factions. But the deal has failed to bring peace to the oil-rich country.
Turkey in Libya backs the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA) in its fight against rebel General Khalifa Haftar’s Libyan National Army (LNA), which is supported by Egypt, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), among others.
Turkey has provided air support, weapons and allied fighters from Syria to help the GNA repel a year-long assault by LNA commander Haftar.
