The resolution, drafted by Britain, made clear that Libya's future unity government should be Libya’s sole representative.

Last Thursday at Morocco’s city of Skhirat, the UN-recognized government and the General National Congress of Libya signed an agreement to establish the UN-sponsored national unity government.

Western powers hope the agreement will bring stability and help to combat a growing Islamic State presence.
