In a joint communique, the nations said that while the broader embargo will remain in place, they are "ready to respond to the Libyan government's requests for training and equipping" government forces.

"We will fully support these efforts while continuing to reinforce the UN arms embargo," the communique said.

With support from all five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, the plan is unlikely to face significant opposition from any quarter.

The communique was issued at the end of the talks that gathered U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and top officials from more than 20 other nations to discuss ways to strengthen Libya's fledgling government. The aim is to give the internationally recognized administration more muscle in fighting Islamic State radicals and end its rivalry with a group to the east claiming legitimacy.


Not sure if this should be moved to the economic section as the MIC will do just fine.

I believe there is a civil war going on in Libya not just against ISIS but with rival factions within the government so giving these people more weapons to fight each other is beyond stupid and will make ISIS stronger.

I love the double standard. We want an arms embargo except to those we support and to whom we can sell.
