One important clause of Libya’s 2020 ceasefire agreement was the reform of the country’s Petroleum Facilities Guard.
I delve into the substantial challenges to that goal in my new chapter, "Extractive Resource Protection in Libya - The Challenge of Reforming and Supporting the Petroleum Facilities Guard," contained within the DCAF compendium The Road To Stability: Rethinking SSR in Post Conflict Libya.
The chapter looks at the evolution of Libya's PFG, details its current structure and operational challenges, and assesses the impediments and opportunities for reform.
The compendium, and information on the launch event, is available here.
