LIBYA:
Amb. Mohamed A. Azwai said that desertification is one of
the most important problems facing Africa. The need to combat
desertification is now widely recognized and Libya hopes that the
Convention will enjoy the necessary political and financial support.
Libya has established a special institute to combat desertification, but
efforts have been hampered by two factors " the mines planted during
World War II and the unjust embargo that has paralyzed research
projects.
