Relación general
-5The relationship has included substantial rapprochement in the 2000s, including Libya’s acceptance of responsibility for Lockerbie and abandonment of its weapons-of-mass-destruction programme. UK military intervention in 2011 was a major rupture, while later UK support for UN-led political efforts represents continued diplomatic engagement. Libya’s post-2011 political fragmentation complicates the relationship.
