The UN Security Council began a private meeting to discuss the latest developments in Libya. During the closed door meeting, council members expect to receive an update from the Secretariat on the last developments in Libya which will be followed by consultations.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Libyan permanent representative to the United Nations, Mohamed Shalgham, told reporters he will speak at the Council meeting. He plans to tell the Security Council that he has been calling on Tripoli to end the bloodshed.

The Security Council is expected to issue a press statement, which is not legally binding, at the end of the meeting. The press statement does not become the UN document. The Security Council met earlier on Tuesday in informal consultations at the request of the Libyan Permanent Mission to the UN.
