UN Envoy to Libya Calls for Formation of Unified Government

Abdoulaye Bathily, the UN Envoy to Libya, criticised Libyan officials for “clinging to their seats,” and urged the UN Security Council to intervene and prevent their failure to serve the Libyan people.

In a briefing to the Security Council, Bathily highlighted the approval of two laws on Presidential elections by the Libyan Parliament. He emphasised that, “for the first time since December 2021, Libya possesses a constitutional and legal framework for elections.”

Bathily said the High National Electoral Commission (HNEC) is “technically prepared,” and emphasised the national mood for a new political deal. He cautioned against a group of officials clinging to power, urging action to prevent failure and regional chaos.

He called for building on this progress, and revealed that he invited leaders from the top five institutions in Libya to a meeting. He stressed their role in either advancing the political process, or perpetuating the stalemate.

“Rivalry and a lack of trust among leaders contribute to the prolonged crisis, hindering progress towards peaceful elections. Some leaders show indecisiveness, hampering efforts to end the stalemate that has inflicted suffering on the Libyan people,” Bathily noted.

The Envoy called for a unified government, aligning with electoral laws and garnering support from all Libyan citizens. However, he emphasised the significance of electoral laws.

Despite a holding ceasefire, sporadic clashes and security incidents persist. Bathily proposed a preparatory session with the five representatives.

Bathily underscored that the majority of Libyans, including community leaders, political parties, and civil society, aspire for a unified government and expressed readiness for inclusive and successful elections.
