Major world powers could pursue sanctions against those who undermine Libya’s upcoming elections, a group of more than two dozen leaders announced Friday at a high-level summit in Paris.
Libya is gearing up for national elections meant to bring stability to the North African country after six years of civil war and a NATO-backed uprising that toppled longtime dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
