📅 30 Augustus 2008 📍 Italië, Libië

The Benghazi treaty addressed disputes from Italian colonial rule. Article 8 committed Italy to fund agreed basic infrastructure projects in Libya up to US$5 billion, at US$250 million annually for 20 years; Silvio Berlusconi also offered a public apology. The arrangement was state-to-state and project based, not direct compensation to individual survivors. Its implementation was later disrupted by war and political change.
