UN Urges Libyan Rivals to Agree on Elections

June 29, 2022

On Monday, UN Political Chief, Rosemary DiCarlo urged Libya’s rival factions to agree on measures governing the transition to elections, during talks in Geneva. She expressed hope this will lead to elections “at the earliest possible date.”

DiCarlo reported to the UN Security Council that the rivals reached a broad consensus on most articles in the proposed 2017 constitution, which she called “commendable,” following talks in Cairo from 12-20 June.

The Libyan Parliament, which is located in the east of the country, and the High Council of State (HCS), which is located in the west, met in Cairo for the first time since the proposed constitution was adopted in 2017, according to DiCarlo.

“We are encouraged that the leaders of both chambers have accepted the invitation of UN special adviser, Stephanie Williams to meet in Geneva from 28-29 June. This is to discuss and reach agreement on the measures governing the transitional period leading to elections,” she said.

All of Libya’s international allies, including the 15 Security Council members, were asked by DiCarlo to “call on the leadership of the two chambers to take the opportunity given by the accord struck in Cairo, and make elections happen.”

She warned that continued political tensions are contributing to a tense security situation in and around Tripoli.

Elections were scheduled for 24 December 2021, however, they were postponed due to a lack of agreement on the electoral basis. The failure dealt a severe setback to global attempts to put an end to a decade of chaos in Libya.
