The head of the Farnesina Angelino Alfano received the new UN special envoy for Libya, Ghassan Salamé, in Rome. A meeting lasted about an hour. During the joint press conference, the Foreign Minister launched this appeal: "The UN must take a very strong leadership on this" dossier ", because so far there have been too many negotiations and too many negotiators, too many mediators and too many mediations, with zero final results, Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano said during the joint press conference at the Farnesina with the UN special envoy for Libya, Ghassan Salamé. According to Alfano, “today we must change pace” in Libya “and the way to change pace is to have a very strong UN leadership on the Libyan affair. Now that we really have at hand the opportunity to decrease flows and organize refugee camps in Libya, we must invest a lot in international multilateral humanitarian organizations so that those camps in Libya have an acceptable standard from the point of view of the protection of human rights. On the possibility that Italy will send ships to Libyan territorial waters to help the Libyan coast guard to fight human trafficking, the UN special envoy - former Libyan culture minister and professor of international relations in Paris - said : “I ask for better cooperation between neighboring countries in order to try to stem this migratory challenge that we face. I am obviously aware of the fact that some discussions have been held in Libya on this issue, but I believe that cooperation, transparency and Italo-Libyan relations are a very constructive way of dealing with this issue ”. To a question about the internal tensions in the government regarding migration management policies, Alfano replied: “I am against any derby between rigor and humanity, between rules and solidarity, between security and human rights. It is not a derby that our country knows or must know.
