The Legal Committee of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LDPF) concluded Thursday a three-day in-person meeting, which took place in Tunisia from 7 to 9 April to finalize the discussions on a constitutional basis for the national elections set for 24 December 2021.
LC members worked for long hours and were able to overcome divisions and managed to reach consensus on a constitutional basis for the elections, according to a statement by UNSMIL.
UNSMIL added that it had acknowledged the efforts made by the LC members to address this important matter, with dedication, commitment and spirit of compromise.
“UNSMIL also took note of the differences remaining on some of the issues which will be referred to LPDF to decide upon them.” The statement reads.
Addressing the LC meeting today, Special Envoy of the UN Secretary-General and Head of UNSMIL Jan Kubis said they had accomplished a lot over the past few days, reaching agreement on important principles and modalities for the constitutional basis for elections.
“I know that this work is the fruit of intense discussions and that you had to often overcome strong divisions.” He said, urging the LC members to identify the most coherent and consensual way to consolidate their discussions and present a report to the LPDF.
