Speaking at the Arab League’s ministerial conference on Libya today, White said he was concerned about the “internationalization of the Libyan conflict”, the rise of “foreign military intervention in the conflict” and the “continuing violations of the arms embargo”, as reported by “Al Ahram”.

The Secretary-General stressed that the Arab League is opposed to all forms of foreign intervention in Libya and to “any military solution” to the conflict. He also stated that the Arab League supports only a comprehensive political solution to the Libyan crisis, under the oversight of the United Nations and relying on Arab League resolutions and the Berlin Conference negotiations. It was also added that the Arab League is working with the UN, the African Union and the European Union so as to resolve the conflict and that it seeks to “implement the conclusions of the Berlin Conference and to consolidate international peace efforts in Libya.”
