On June 29, 2017, the UN Security Council passed a resolution extend until November 15, 2018 the mandate of the Expert Panel on Libya and a set of sanctions related to illicit petroleum exports. According to the press release, the unanimously adopted resolution also added “‘attacks against United Nations personnel’ to the criteria for the ongoing travel bans and freezing of assets affecting individuals and entities in the conflict-wracked North African nation.” The current sanctions are “applicable to those deemed as engaging in or supporting acts that threatened Libya’s peace, stability or security or which obstructed or undermined its successful political transition,” and condemn “attempts to illicitly export petroleum from Libya, including crude oil and — also for the first time — refined petroleum products.”
