The UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) Monday launched a media campaign geared towards peace under the slogan "together for peace in Libya."
Libya, a major oil producer, has witnessed a frayed political process after its leader Muammar Gaddafi was toppled during the 2011 political turmoil.
The capital city of Tripoli fell to Libya Dawn last August. The Islamist militia established its own government to rival the internationally recognized one, currently in exile in the eastern town of Tobruk.
The country is currently deadlocked in a dogfight between the pro-secular army and Islamist militants.
"There is no military solution in Libya. A political solution is the only option. Without an agreement, fighting will escalate, and all of Libya will lose," the mission said in one of its infographics.
The mission published the infographics on its official website, also available on Facebook and Twitter.
The UN has brokered several rounds of dialogues between opposing parties since September, but clashes remain despite a truce agreed upon by participating factions.
On Monday, a fresh round of UN-sponsored political dialogue took place in Morocco between Libyan rival parties. Endit
