A one-sided approach to the EU's arms embargo in Libya could help Khalifa Haftar and worsen the civil war engulfing the country

The EU agreed on Monday to launch a naval and air mission in a bid to stop the flow of arms into Libya.

“The problem is that the EU is operationally constrained in terms of how to do that, there isn't enough of a political will to commit and what little political will there is swayed by the agendas of certain states that are either backing Haftar or don't want a strained relationship with Haftar's backers,” adds Badi, speaking toAs the Libyan war enters its ninth year, the country has been divided between two warring factions following the fall of Muammar Gaddafi.

Both sides in the conflict have received material support with the UAE and Egypt being a significant contributor to armaments contravening a UN resolution. The new EU naval mission may also have another rationale in addition to enforcing an arms embargo says Profazio. “The presence of an undisclosed number of mercenaries from Chad and Sudan in Libya, both highlight the importance of a comprehensive solution to monitor the arms embargo, which takes into consideration movements along Libya’s porous borders with neighbouring countries,” says Profazio.

Firstly the EU member states until the last moment struggled to form a unified position. Austria and Hungary blocked the revival of an earlier EU naval operation called Operation Sophia.
