Headline Security Council Postpones Action on Lifting Libya Sanctions until 12 September

Caption Description Following extended consultations, the Security Council this afternoon unanimously decided to postpone until 12 September action on lifting the sanctions imposed on Libya for its failure to cooperate with investigations into the destruction of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, and France's Union de transports aeriens (UTA) flight 772 over Niger in 1989. Speaking before the decision was taken, the Council President, Emyr Jones Parry (United Kingdom), said that the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 had been an appalling act, which caused terrible pain to friends and families of the victims, many of whom were present in the Council chamber today. Libya had accepted responsibility for the actions of its officials, renounced terrorism and arranged for payment of appropriate compensation for the families of the victims. It had also expressed its commitment to cooperate with any further requests for information in connection with the investigation. All those were substantial gains, which could allow Libya to move back into the international community and bring the Council closer to lifting the sanctions.
