On March 27, 2015, acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted two resolutions—2213 [3] and 2214 [4]— on Libya. According to the press release [5], “the first, called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire and extended the United Nations Support Mission there (UNSMIL) until 15 September, and [] the second, adjusted the arms embargo on the country in light of the terrorist threat there.” The Council also “decided that [UNSMIL’s] mandate should focus on support to the Libyan political process and security arrangements. . . . includ[ing] human rights monitoring and reporting, as well as support for securing uncontrolled arms and related materiel and countering its proliferation.”
