The UN Security Council authorized on Friday the deployment of a UN mission to support Libya's National Transition Council. The 15-nation council unanimously adopted a resolution to send the small UN mission to help the Transitional National Council begin work on post-conflict reconstruction and the restoration of institutions, drafting a new constitution and organizing elections. The council also decided to consider lifting part of the sanctions against Libya to release some of frozen assets, which will allow the transition council to use the funds for reconstruction.
