UNSMIL reported yesterday that the Advisory Committee (AC) successfully concluded its work and submitted yesterday to the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) its final report. The report contains options and recommendations to address contentious issues in Libya’s current electoral framework.
UNSMIL expressed its gratitude to the Advisory Committee for their professionalism and dedication to this important task, aimed at addressing the aspirations of the Libyan people.
Seeking a consensus-based political roadmap to hold elections and unify institutions
As a next step, UNSMIL said it will review and assess the recommendations outlined in the report and, in the coming days, will begin consultations with Libyan stakeholders and the wider public to reflect on the proposed options and through those consultations develop a consensus-based political roadmap to facilitate the holding of national elections and unifying institutions. In line with the principle of transparency, UNSMIL said it intends to publish the executive summary of the AC report.
Resolving the current political deadlock
UNSMIL said the AC is an integral part of the inclusive UNSMIL-facilitated, Libyan-led-and-owned political process aimed at resolving the current political deadlock. Established in line with paragraphs 2 and 5 of Security Council resolution 2755 (2024), the AC comprised 20 distinguished Libyan personalities (35% women) with expertise in legal, constitutional, and electoral issues, which the Mission will continue to draw on their expertise and advice as needed.
Preserving stability while addressing pressing problems facing Libya
UNSMIL remains committed to working with all Libyan stakeholders, with the support of the International Community, to advance the political process in a way that preserves stability while addressing the pressing problems facing the country.
