INTERNATIONAL STABILISATION RESPONSE TEAM (ISRT)

The International Stabilisation Response Team (ISRT), Libya was established following a side meeting of the second Contact Group on Libya held in Rome on 5 May 2011. The Contact Group recognised that it is for the people of Libya to determine their own solution to the current crisis and to articulate their own vision of a peaceful future Libya. They also reiterated the role of the UN in leading the international effort to plan for early recovery and peacebuilding. In support of this, the ISRT aimed to build a shared international understanding of Libya's interim stabilisation needs.
