Swiss Ambassador, Simon Geissbühler reaffirmed his support for the United Nations’ efforts towards peace and security in Libya, national reconciliation, and comprehensive elections.

This came during a meeting with the United Nations Special Envoy to Libya, Abdoulaye Bathily.

Notably, Bathily met with the Canadian Ambassador to Libya, Isabelle Savard. During the meeting, Bathily and Savard discussed the latest developments in the political process in Libya.

The Ambassador confirmed her support for Bathily’s efforts to facilitate an agreement between all parties, that would benefit all Libyans.

Days ago, Bathily called on participants of the Berlin Process Humanitarian and Human Rights International Law Working Group to “support Libyan authorities and institutions working towards a stable and improved future for the country.”

During a high-level meeting, Bathily commended the efforts of the UN Support Mission (UNSMIL) and other international and Libyan mechanisms. He urged group leaders to ensure “all Libyans are included in building a better future through respect for human rights and international humanitarian law.”

Bathily emphasised the importance of hosting all Berlin process events on Libyan soil, under the Presidential Council’s auspices and with the participation of all stakeholders to strengthen Libyan national sovereignty.

On Saturday, the Speaker of the Libyan Parliament, Ageela Saleh stressed the need to form a mini-cabinet with a 6 to 8-month-mandate to supervise elections impartially.

These remarks came during his meeting with a number of notables and tribal Sheikhs of the eastern, western, and southern regions of Libya. The attendees demanded an improvement in the political situation in the country. They also discussed the necessity of holding elections this year.

On his part, Saleh stressed that “national reconciliation is the most important pillar in restoring security and stability in Libya,” praising the “patriotic role being played by the Libyan tribes to achieve security and stability in the country,” according to a statement by the Parliament media office.

The Speaker also reviewed the Parliament’s plan to “achieve the will of the Libyan people to hold elections as soon as possible,” stressing his “complete rejection of foreign interference in the country’s affairs.”
