UN to hold new talks between Libya rivals

TRIPOLI, 24 June 2022, (TON): The United Nations said “it will broker new talks between rival institutions from war-torn Libya next week to try to break a deadlock on the rules for long-awaited elections.”

Parliament speaker Aguila Saleh and President of the High Council of State Khaled Al-Mishri have accepted my invitation to meet at the UN Office at Geneva 28-29 June to discuss the draft constitutional framework for elections, the UNs top Libya official Stephanie Williams tweeted.

I commend the heads of the two chambers for committing to seek consensus on the remaining issues after last weeks Joint Committee meeting in Cairo.

Presidential and parliamentary elections, originally set for December last year, were meant to cap a UN-led peace process following the end of the last major round of violence in 2020.
