    UN Refugee Agency Resumes Work in Libya

    The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees will resume its operations in Libya three weeks after the country’s authorities ordered the agency to shut down operations. UNHCR’s operation will be restricted to its current caseload.

    The Libyan government earlier accused UNHCR staff of receiving bribes and sexual favors in exchange for granting refugee status to immigrants.

    UNHCR spokesperson Adrian Edwards said the allegations remain unsubstantiated, adding that talks on the agency’s future in Libya will resume shortly.

    Edwards said that the expulsion order has not yet been formally lifted.
