Press Releases

-Today the Libyan people, in their struggle to regain control over their own lives and destiny, have reason to celebrate. For the U.S., it is an important moment to reaffirm our commitment to work with Prime Minister Jabril and the Transitional Council to create a diverse and representative democracy, grounded in the rule of law and respect for the human rights of all Libyans. The U.S. and international community should make the billions in assets frozen during the recent civil conflict available so that the new Libyan government can rebuild communities, support those veterans and families injured in the war, and see to the needs of its people. The U.S. should also be engaged in helping to demobilize existing militias, secure the arms and arsenal of the previous regime, and secure and destroy the stockpiles of its most dangerous weapons.-
