Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs and Peacebuilding, Rosemary A. DiCarlo, said through the Security Council session yesterday, Wednesday, that it is very important to talk about economic developments in Libya, as oil production resumed in July after a closure that lasted nearly three months and production reached pre-closure levels of 1.2 million barrels per day by the end of the month, with plans to increase further.
DiCarlo confirmed that it is possible to close the oil fields again, due to the lack of basic services and the increasingly poor living conditions in the south of the country.
She pointed out that Libya’s natural resources belong to all Libyans, and revenues from oil exports must be fairly and equitably distributed.
