The Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Abdullah Batele, said that there is a deliberate refusal by the Libyan parties to hold elections, with a stubborn desire to postpone the elections to an unknown extent.
During his regular briefing to the UN Security Council on Tuesday, Battele said he had put forward proposals and initiatives as part of his attempts since calling on the five main parties in Libya to hold dialogue, settle outstanding issues and hold elections.
The UN representative pointed out that these proposals and attempts have only found opposition, stressing that these positions came due to a division on the world stage, which leads to the prolongation of the status quo, which threatens the region and the world.
Unfortunately, all his attempts have been met with stubborn resistance, unrealistic demands, and indifference to the interest of the Libyan people, he said.
The members of the Security Council have previously affirmed their support for Patele and stressed the importance of full and effective participation in the mediation efforts led by him, warning against competing initiatives that may fail to make tangible progress towards the holding of elections, thereby prolonging the current political stalemate.
