The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) has urged the Libyan Parliament to “avoid unilateral actions in addressing the ongoing political stalemate in the country.”
In a recent statement, UNSMIL noted the approval of a roadmap and nominations for a new government by the Parliament, but emphasized the need for “an inclusive political agreement to ensure stability and peace in Libya.”
Guided by Security Council resolution 2656 (2022), UNSMIL’s Head, Abdoulaye Bathily has been engaging with all Libyan institutions and key stakeholders, to agree on a roadmap for elections. The aim is to “deliver elections across the country as soon as possible, on a constitutional and legal basis, through dialogue, compromise, and constructive engagement, in a transparent and inclusive manner.”
The mission warned against actions that could inflict serious negative consequences for the country, and trigger further instability and violence. “Unilateral actions could cause further polarization amongst the population, which has already been suffering from deep divisions for over a decade,” it added.
Bathily is intensifying his engagement with major stakeholders, in order to facilitate a political settlement to enable successful elections without delay.
UNSMIL has delivered its comments regarding the framework for elections to major Libyan stakeholders. The document is a product of discussions with all major Libyan stakeholders, that highlighted areas of concern on the electoral framework.
The Mission said it expects these issues to be seriously considered, before the electoral framework is finalized in an inclusive manner.
UNSMIL warned against all actions that undermine “the people’s continuous demands for national elections.” It called on all Libyan actors to “come together in a spirit of compromise and draw lessons from the past. A peaceful and democratic resolution will bring legitimacy to Libyan institutions, and ensure stability for the country.”
