On 23 June 2021, the Second Berlin Conference on Libya was held; a follow-up from the first Berlin Conference in January 2020. Among notable representations including the United Nations and States such as Egypt, the US, Russia, France and Turkey, an important addition to the attendees was interim-Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, marking a symbolic buy-in from the newly installed Government of National Unity and an attempt at genuine Libyan representation in the process. Fifty-eight Conference Conclusions were subsequently published by Germany’s Federal Foreign Office, most of which reaffirmed commitments from those present to support the political process and the ceasefire. However, some Conclusions did point to a topic once commonly associated with the Libyan crisis, and one which is still an ugly consequence of the political discord: that of migration and human trafficking.
