House of Lords written question – answered at on 27 April 2011.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to ensure that the United Kingdom is able to contribute significantly to post-conflict stabilisation operations in Libya.
As agreed at the London conference on Libya, the post-conflict stabilisation and peace-building effort in Libya will be an international effort, co-ordinated by the UN in support of the Libyan people. The UK has undertaken early cross-Whitehall planning, facilitated by the Stabilisation Unit, focusing on how the UK could support this international effort, in a post-conflict environment. Staff have been deployed to the region to provide stabilisation expertise both on Libya and Arab partnership programmes. The Unit's Civilian Stabilisation Group stands ready to deploy members of its over 1,000-strong civilian reserve to assist in areas such as planning, stabilisation and governance where requested.
