Libya Calls On UN To Loosen Arms Embargo That The UN Calls 'Almost Nonexistent'

Libya made an urgent appeal on Wednesday to the United Nations Security Council, to allow exemptions on an arms embargo that Libya says has hobbled its ability to fight the growing threat of militancy, including recent forays into the North African nation by the Islamic State group. The U.N. had recently called for the embargo to be tightened, calling it “almost nonexistent.”
