London, 1 October 2021:
UNSMIL reported yesterday that it had accepted the invitation to take part in a meeting of the House of Representatives (HoR) and the High State Council (HCS) delegations, on 30 September, in Rabat, Morocco, that will provide an opportunity to further consult on the legal framework for elections.
It reported that an UNSMIL technical team is attending and will be providing technical support and advice based on UN principles, and in line with its mandate to support the holding of parliamentary and presidential elections on 24 December 2021 as set out in Security Council Resolution 2570 (2021) and the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) Roadmap.
UNSMIL urged the two delegations to use this opportunity and live up to their historical responsibilities and move forward with completing the legislative framework for elections.
