On January 19, participants of the Berlin conference on Libya called on the United Nations to facilitate ceasefire talks. They urged the Security Council to impose sanctions on those who would breach the truce agreement. The UN also called for an establishment of a 5+5 military committee, which will be tasked with monitoring the ceasefire's implementation, and both sides of the conflict have agreed to it.
Libya is currently divided between two centers of power - an elected parliament in the country's east, supported by Gen. Khalifa Haftar's Libyan National Army, and the UN-recognized Government of National Accord in the west.
