An article published on February 9, 2016, in London’s Telegraph newspaper reported that “Libya's central bank has fueled the civil war by continuing to pay state salaries to all the country's myriad warring militias, Britain's ambassador to Tripoli said on Monday.”The report alludes to testimony that Ambassador Peter Millett delivered before a committee of the House of Lords concerning conditions in Libya relating to the formation of the Government of National Accord. Contrary to proper journalistic practice, CBL was not contacted by the paper in question and was not given an opportunity to correct or respond to this report.Moreover, the report is incorrect, as Ambassador Millett himself promptly noted in a Tweet following the publication of the article: “Reports re my comments on militia payments & ‪#‎Libya‬ Central Bank were taken out of context. Focus was how to bring peace and security.” CBL remains committed to insuring that Libyan state assets are managed in accordance with the laws, established regulations and procedures for financing government operations in Libya. CBL has consistently acted, and will continue to act, to insure that funds are not diverted in any fashion that would promote political conflict or acts of terrorism. CBL has and will continue to work closely with the lawful representatives of the Libyan government and leaders of the international community to accomplish these ends.
