United Kingdom, and South Africa

Recognizing the definition of refugees as persons who are outside their country of origin for
reasons of feared persecution, conflict, generalized violence, or other circumstances that have
seriously disturbed public order and, as a result, require international protection as established
by the United Nations,

Contemplating how the arrival of large numbers of refugees, even on a temporary basis, can
cause serious amounts of strain of host countries, especially in case of States with economic
difficulties, high unemployment, declining living standards, and shortages in housing and land,

Alarmed by the devastation that the political deadlock, 2023 floods and multiple waves of
Covid-19 has caused in Libya with internal displacements, forcible transfers, repression of civic
groups, arbitrary detention, murder, rape, enslavement, extrajudicial killings and enforced
disappearances, as well as the economic set-back that lead to major problems of poverty,
increased crime rates, illegal black market trading, arms trafficking, unemployment, lack of
education and health resources as well as a loss of infrastructure,

Deeply concerned about the fact that libya is seen as one of the largest refugee crisis in the
past 20 years where more than 630,000 people have fled libya into neighboring countries like
the French Republic who has taken in more than 20000 refugees,

Aware of the greater threat of COVID-19, Cholera,Typhoid and Malaria for refugees, due to
exclusion from healthcare benefits, lack of documentation, scarcity of water and food supplies
lead to malnutrition and generally unhealthy living conditions related to poverty and the
increased lack of awareness among refugees,
Alarmed by the risk of discrimination that refugees face, especially if it is institutional or
structural where refugees and migrants may face reduced access to public services and
healthcare entitlements based on race or ethnicity,

Guided by the principles, ideas and provisions of the charter of the United Nations,

Recognizing the definition of refugees as persons who are outside their country of origin for
reasons of feared persecution, conflict, generalized violence, or other circumstances that have
seriously disturbed public order and, as a result, require international protection as established
by the United Nations,

Contemplating how the arrival of large numbers of refugees, even on a temporary basis, can
create serious strains for host countries, especially in case of States with economic difficulties,
high unemployment, declining living standards, and shortages in housing and land,

Recognizing the historical context of Libya, including the 2011 revolution, the fall of Muammar
Gaddafi, and the subsequent political divisions that have contributed to the current deadlock,

Covid-19 has caused in Libya with internal displacements, forcible transfers, repression of civic
groups, arbitrary detention, murder, rape, enslavement, extrajudicial killings and enforced
disappearances, as well as the economic set-back that lead to major problems of poverty,
increased crime rates, illegal black market trading, arms trafficking, unemployment, lack of
education and health resources as well as a loss of infrastructure,

the different Militia’s in Libya are only interested in exploiting Libya, Syria and Yemen for its oil
and gold reserves,

past 20 years where more than 630,000 people have fled libya into neighboring countries
according to the international organization of migration,
Noting with regret, how foreign intervention in the Mena region by Russia’s Wagner group due
to its greed contributed to the disintegration and fragmentation of democracy,

Keeping in mind the higher concentration of refugee population in economically deprived


countries, the reluctance of nations to assist refugees, and the advocation of the United Nations
High Commissioner for refugees of burden sharing and sustained solidarity for the international
community,

Further realizing the limitations of international refugee law to address the concern of
climate-induced accelerated due to climate change and its impact on habitation,

Aware of the greater threat of COVID-19, Cholera and Malaria for refugees, due to exclusion
from healthcare benefits, lack of documentation, scarcity of water and food supplies lead to
malnutrition and generally unhealthy living conditions related to poverty and the increased lack
of awareness among refugees,

and migrants may face reduced access to public services and healthcare entitlements based on
race or ethnicity,

Affirming the efforts of Ukraine in terms of being a host-country with over 2.8 million refugees
from the countries of the MENA region and providing humanitarian assistance to millions of
refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the MENA region, etc,
