If none of the five permanent members vetoes the resolution and if nine out of 15 members approve it, the resolution will pass.
A UN Security Council resolution has been drafted by the UK calling for a ceasefire in the Libyan capital Tripoli. Diplomatic sources said the UK resolution calls on all sides to cooperate with the UN Support Mission in Libya and its head Ghassan Salame to reach a ceasefire across Libya, the Libya Observer reported.
Clashes in southern Tripoli areas between renegade general Khalifa Haftar’s self-styled Libyan National Army , which is loyal to the opposing House of Representative government in Tobruk in the east, continue as they fight forces loyal to the UN-backed Government of National Accord based in the capital Tripoli in the West.
But talks of a ceasefire and possible peace talks to end the bloodshed seem not only premature but highly improbable at this point in time.
