On the 19th of this month, the Acting Head of the UN Mission to Libya, Stephanie Khoury, will present her briefing on the latest developments in Libya to the UN Security Council.
This comes during the Council’s bi-monthly briefing on the situation in Libya, and Khoury is expected to update the Security Council on the recent political, security and humanitarian developments in the country.
The Chairman of the Libya Sanctions Committee, Ambassador Yamazaki Kazuyuki, is also scheduled to provide a briefing on the Committee’s activities during the past period.
The “Security Council Report” website said that Council members are considering inviting representatives of the Arab League and the African Union to provide a briefing on efforts related to the political process and the national reconciliation process in Libya.
The Council will discuss the appointment of a new UN envoy to Libya to succeed Batelli, although political differences between members may complicate the process.
Despite these differences, the Security Council remains united on Libya’s need for a comprehensive Libyan-led political process leading to national elections and the establishment of political, security and economic stability.
Coinciding with the local meetings taking place between the parties to the crisis in Libya, the Ministerial Council of the Gulf Cooperation Council affirmed its position in support of the State of Libya, the Libyan-Libyan political solution, and Security Council resolutions, ensuring its sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity, and stopping interference in its internal affairs.
The Council’s final statement stressed the need for all foreign forces, foreign fighters and mercenaries to leave Libyan territory, and to support United Nations efforts to reach a political solution, hold elections and unify state institutions.
The Ministerial Council welcomed the results of the meeting sponsored by the League of Arab States last March, which brought together the President of the Presidential Council, Mohamed Al-Manfi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aguila Saleh, and the Head of the Supreme Council of State, Mohamed Takala, to support the political settlement aimed at holding presidential and parliamentary elections in Libya.
It is noteworthy that last March, the Arab League announced the agreement of the heads of the three main councils in Libya on the necessity of forming a unified government whose mission is to supervise the electoral process and provide the necessary services to the citizen, in addition to unifying the sovereign positions to ensure the activation of their role.
The parties agreed to form a technical committee to consider appropriate amendments to expand the basis of consensus and acceptance of the work completed by the joint (6+6) committee between the House of Representatives and the State.
In an expanded meeting in the city of Misrata, the national forces reached a political position that emphasized the possibility of holding general elections on the basis of laws agreed upon between the two councils.
