The European Union (EU) has decided to sanction three firms for allegedly violating an arms embargo for Libya. One of the three companies is from Turkey and the others from Kazakhstan and Jordan. New resolutions have been made for the arms embargo in force at the Libyan Conference in January 2020; a military mission was deployed to control the embargo.

A travel ban is planned for sanctioned firms and a freeze on assets in the EU, as well as a ban on trading with European companies.

In Libya's civil war, Turkey supported the UN-known Government of National Reconciliation (UMH), while the United Arab Emirates and Jordan reported that they had shipped arms to Hafter forces fighting the UMH.
