Reiterates its decision that UNSMIL should be led by a Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG), in Tripoli, supported by two Deputy Special Representatives of the Secretary-General, and calls upon the Secretary-General to appoint a SRSG promptly;

Recalls the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) Roadmap, regrets that a number of its deliverables have yet to be achieved, underlines that the objectives and governing principles as set out in articles 1 and 2 of the LPDF Roadmap are still relevant to the political process, rejects actions that could lead to violence or greater divisions in Libya, recognises the desire of the Libyan people to have their say in who governs them through elections, and urges the Libyan political institutions and key stakeholders to agree a pathway to deliver these elections as soon as possible across the country through dialogue, compromise and constructive engagement, in a transparent and inclusive manner;

Underlines the importance of an inclusive, comprehensive national dialogue and reconciliation process, welcomes the support of the African Union in that regard, recognises the important role of other regional organisations, including the League of Arab States and the European Union, and calls upon the relevant Libyan institutions and authorities to implement confidence-building measures to create an environment conducive for successful national presidential and parliamentary elections, including by ensuring the full, equal, effective and meaningful participation of women, and inclusion of youth and civil society representatives, in all activities and decision-making relating to democratic transition and reconciliation efforts;

Calls upon all parties to refrain from any actions that could undermine the political process or the 23 October 2020 ceasefire in Libya, which should be implemented in full, and recalls that the measures set out in resolution 1970 (2011), as modified by subsequent resolutions, shall apply to individuals and entities determined by the United Nations Sanctions Committee to be engaging in or providing support for acts that threaten the peace, stability or security of Libya or obstruct or undermine the successful completion of its political transition, including by obstructing or undermining the elections;

Emphasises that there can be no military solution in Libya, and demands full compliance by all Member States with the arms embargo imposed under resolution 1970 (2011), as modified by subsequent resolutions;

Urges all member states to respect fully the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and national unity of Libya;

Calls on all parties to implement the 23 October 2020 ceasefire agreement in full, including the Action Plan agreed by the 5+5 Joint Military Commission in Geneva on 8 October 2021, which is to be implemented in a synchronised, phased, gradual and balanced manner, and urges Member States to respect and support its full implementation, including through the withdrawal of all foreign forces, foreign fighters, and mercenaries from Libya without further delay;
