The NCHRL also renewed its request to the Joint Military Commission (JMC) 5 + 5 to ensure the full implementation of the provisions of the Geneva ceasefire agreement, especially with regards to expelling all mercenaries, foreign forces and experts from the Libyan territories without further delay.
The Commission condemned some statements issued by a number of the political and military parties that call for the continuation of external military interference in the country, and incite violence against those who are contrary to them.
In addition, it urged the Presidential Council and the GNU to take a unified position that preserves national sovereignty and bears responsibility for providing protection to members of the government.

Finally, it called on the International Sanctions Committee to work to prevent attempts of some parties and entities to impede the political path and democratic transition, abort efforts aim to hold the upcoming national as elections.
