The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) reported that "despite strong efforts from mine action partners over the past decade, more than 15 million square meters are still contaminated with explosive ordnances across Libya."
"Mine action efforts are an essential component of Libya’s journey to peace and stability coupled with reforms in the security sector to control explosive ordnance contamination and the proliferation of weapons," said Special Representative of the Secretary-General Abdoulaye Bathily.
