The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation stated that, after the first universal periodic review, Libya had gone through a radical political transformation. The 17 February 2011 revolution had broken out, followed by the fall of the former regime and the declaration of liberation in October 2011. The transition had been accompanied by security and institutional challenges. The security risks and political crisis had doubled the challenges in the field of human rights, as Libya faced acts of terrorism and the proliferation of weapons. Those negatively affected the humanitarian situation, causing the displacement of people and the disruption of services for citizens, including health care and education in many cities and regions. 6. The Deputy Minister thanked all the countries that had provided support to Libya in international forums and in all fields, especially the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) and the Head of Mission, Bernardino León, for his efforts in making the dialogue a success. 7. He emphasized that, during the initial review in November 2010, 66 of the 120 recommendations had enjoyed support, 24 had been noted and 30 had been placed under consideration. After the February revolution, the recommendations under consideration had been reviewed. All had been accepted, except for one that had been only partially accepted. All but four of the noted recommendations had been accepted. A total of 115 recommendations had been fully accepted and one partially accepted. However, owing to the events in Libya, it had not been possible to implement some of the recommendations. 3
