UN report paints grim assessment of Libya "The continuing volatile security situation in Libya in general, and in the eastern and southern parts of the country in particular, is a source of grave concern," said the UN. Targeted political assassinations, criminal activity and attacks and threats against the diplomatic community continue to plague the country, including Tripoli. So far, the defence and interior ministries have worked separately on bringing these militias into the army and police force respectively. The UN reports that Ali Zeidan, the prime minister, has now established a "committee" to "coordinate the efforts so far undertaken separately." A second key cause of unrest is the failure to agree on Libya's political future. An "Isolation Law" bans officials from the old regime from holding government jobs, while the eastern region of Cyrenaica, which produces most of Libya's oil, wants genuine autonomy from Tripolitania in the west. The UN notes the dangers of "political polarisation" and reports that "revolutionary brigades" consisting of armed militiamen have taken over large areas of eastern Libya. In particular, they have blockaded the country's oil export terminals, reducing production from a pre-war level of 1.6 million barrels per day to about 200,000. Meanwhile, the UN warns that illegal arms, including "chemical weapons materiel," are "easily accessible" and "pose a considerable threat to national and regional security." Libya agreed to surrender its chemical munitions in 2003, but a previously unknown cache was discovered this year. The process of destroying the remaining stockpile is now expected to last until 2016.
