・Thursday, 28 October, 2010: Malta was exerting diplomatic pressure on Italy and Libya to
discuss its proposal to negotiate a tri-partite joint oil exploration agreement in an area in the east
of the Mediterranean seas being contested by the three countries. Foreign Minister Tonio Borg
told Parliament yesterday that last year he had announced that he had taken the initiative and
made a concrete joint exploration proposal to both the Italian and the Libyan governments.
Negotiations were still ongoing but Malta was using its pressure to get the other governments to
come to the negotiating table to discuss this proposal. Malta was in favour of joint exploration
because this avoided reference to the International Court of Justice and, without prejudice to any
presumed rights, the countries could arrive at an amicable way to exploit resources and leave the
theoretical issue of sovereignty unprejudiced. [Times of Malta]

Mojber lambasted the double-standard policies adopted by the world powers on Iran and other

Monday, 4 October, 2010: THE UN Human Rights Council is the mandated UN body
responsible for the promotion and protection of international human rights. It was intended to
improve on its discredited predecessor, the UN Human Rights Commission, which former UN
secretary-general Kofi Annan critiqued for its "politicised" and "biased" decision-making, but it
appears to have inherited and compounded the flaws of its predecessor. The election of Libya -one of the world's worst human rights violators -- to the UN Human Rights Council as it
commences its new session is an affront to the case and cause of human rights. Libya's Gaddafi
regime is notorious for its systematic and widespread violations of human rights, including its
patterns of arbitrary arrest and detention, torture and persecution of minorities, let alone the
1998 bombing of Pan-Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. [The Australian]

Monday, 4 October, 2010: TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Chevron Corp and Occidental have not

energy firm told Reuters. Other companies whose licenses were not extended included
Australia's Woodside Petroleum and Abu Dhabi-based Liwa Energy, NOC Exploration Director
Hadj Fitouri said in an interview. He said the companies which had agreed license extensions
were Hess, Petrobras, Indonesia's Medco Energi, Oil India Ltd and Algerian state energy firm
Sonatrach. Chevron and Occidental were part of a first wave of foreign firms which rushed to
invest in Libya's energy sector after sanctions were lifted but many of them have since failed to
make any major oil or gas discoveries. "Some companies have seen their deals extended but
other firms did not want to extend their deals and are on the way to leaving Libya," Fitouri said
in the interview. [Reuters]

Sunday, 3 October, 2010: Two South Koreans have been released in Libya after being arrested
for violating the North African country's religious law earlier in the year, the foreign ministry
said Sunday. The release of the Koreans took place on Saturday, two days after Rep. Lee
Sang-deuk met with Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi on Thursday. Lee is the elder brother
of President Lee Myung-bak. The two men were handed over to their respective families in the
presence of the Korean ambassador to Libya, the ministry said. It said no conditions were
attached to their release. The two men, identified only by their family names of Koo and Jeon,
were arrested in June and July after having been accused of conducting missionary activities in
the North African country. The two had been moved to a detention facility in August after being
questioned by the authorities. [Korea Times]

Gadhafi. The agreement came after Lee Sang-deuk, a brother of South Korean President Lee

Turkish businessmen were practically having "zero problems, maximum trade" with Libya. One

on an area of 280,000 square meters and is expected to be finished in 2011. Il?cak says Turkey's

Friday, 1 October, 2010: ROME (Dow Jones)--UniCredit SpA's (UCG.MI) board of directors
Thursday responded to the Bank of Italy's request regarding the two stakes in UniCredit
belonging to Libyan shareholders, saying there aren't enough information to consider the two
stakes as autonomous. In a statement, the bank said further investigation is necessary to provide
a complete assessment of the matter. Alessandro Profumo, former chief executive of UniCredit,
resigned last week amid clashes with the board over Libya's growing influence over the lender.
Tensions between Profumo and the board worsened in August when the Libyan Investment
Authority, Libya's sovereign-wealth fund, disclosed that it had purchased a 2% stake in the bank
on Milan's stock exchange. [Wall Street Journal]

being allowed to return to Libya on compassionate grounds was “difficult to believe and
possibly even ridiculous”. And Dr. Oliver Sartor told the US Senate’s foreign relations
committee the chemotherapy the bomber only started receiving after being released from a
Scottish prison could extend his life by at least 19 months. Both men said al-Megrahi would
have struggled to walk to and from the aeroplane that transported him to the Libyan capital,
Tripoli, in August last year if he had less than three months to live. [The Telegraph]

Friday, 1 October, 2010: RABAT, Sept 30 (Reuters) - An unpredictable succession, suspicion of
foreign influence, diplomatic rows, policy uncertainty and the lingering threat of social unrest
all pose potential risks for investors in oil-producer Libya. Here are some risk factors to watch.
UNCERTAIN SUCCESSION : Muammar Gaddafi has led Libya for more than 40 years, longer
than any living African leader. He is in his late 60s, but there is no framework for his succession
and he has carefully avoided designating a successor. Analysts say he appears to be in good
health but that, when he dies, years of instability could follow as competing groups and relatives
struggle for supremacy. The liberal-leaning Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, who took a central role in
ending Libya's stand-off with the West, has the highest profile among Gaddafi's sons but lacks
any official role and Libya experts say he has little support from the army, whose endorsement
is seen as vital if he is to hold power. [Reuters]

the future plan for his institution was to employ the youth in projects being implemented in the

oil companies, the railway project and the major cement works to supply them with human
