The Security Council has decided to renew measures designed to implement the arms embargo against Libya for another year, the UN said in a statement.

The measures include authorizing Member States — acting nationally or through regional organizations — to inspect vessels on the high seas off Libya’s coast believed to be in violation of the arms embargo imposed on that country.

Adopting Resolution 2733 (2024) by a recorded vote of 9 in favor to none against, with 6 abstentions, the Council extended the authorizations set out in its Resolution 2684 (2023) for a further 12 months, the statement said late Friday.

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shibani said on Friday that he will visit European countries in the coming period.

He spoke during a press conference with his Italian counterpart Antonio Tajani in Damascus.

Tajani said he was traveling to Syria on Friday to encourage the country's transition following the ouster of President Bashar Assad, and said Europe should review its sanctions on Damascus now that the political situation has changed.

“It’s an issue that should be discussed because Assad isn’t there anymore, it’s a new situation, and I think that the encouraging signals that are arriving should be further encouraged,” he said.
