The United States and other allied countries want to provide the recognized government of Libya with weapons in order to fight with the terrorist organization ISIS and other militant groups that are gaining strength in the country.
The Libyan government has said it will apply for exemption from the UN embargo, to procure arms and other materials to counter terrorist groups such as ISIS.
Secretary of state John Kerry noted the "delicate balance" during a press conference with the Italian Minister of foreign Affairs and the Prime Minister of Libya in Vienna on Monday after an international meeting to support the government of national consensus.
"All of us here today, supported by the fact that if you have a legitimate government and a legitimate government fighting terrorism, his hands should not be associated, or it should not be a victim because of the actions of the UN, "Kerry said. "Thus, we believe that the exemption from the embargo makes sense in the moment we decide this question."
Libya became a focal point of concern for the United States, when chaos and the absence of an effective Central government has allowed terrorist groups such as ISIL are unmanaged spaces of Libya and to establish their own rules.
It is estimated that in Libya there are 6 thousand fighters of ISIS. U.S. special forces are working in Libya and elsewhere across the Middle East and North Africa, to try to prevent the actions of ISIS and al-Qaeda and its affiliated groups.
"There are small groups of US armed forces who patrol the land of Libya in order to prevent attacks by terrorist groups", said the press Secretary of the Pentagon Peter cook reporters on Monday.
"It's a small group of Americans, who maintained a small presence in Libya for this specific purpose," cook said.
