PC Deputy Heads: Interference by Libyan parties complicates chances for national consensus
Presidential Council (PC) Deputy Heads Mossa Al-Koni and Abdullah Al-Lafi said that the intervention of certain Libyan parties has contributed to complicating the prospects for national consensus.
During their meeting with the Strategic Review Team of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), the two men called for a more effective UN role in bridging viewpoints and developing a timeline roadmap leading to elections, to be discussed in the upcoming Berlin Process.
They also stressed the importance of drafting realistic plans that fit the Libyan context and strengthen the sovereignty and unity of the state, emphasizing that Libya should be a top priority on the United Nations' agenda by appointing individuals capable of understanding the complexities of the crisis and dealing with the current political deadlock.
The team, led by Daniela Kroslak, provided a comprehensive briefing on the work of its technical team tasked with assessing the mission's performance over the past years, highlighting the importance of hearing the Presidential Council's vision to realign the mission's work.
Al-Koni and Al-Lafi welcomed the team, underscoring the need to establish accountability and improve the mission's performance in line with the complexities of the current Libyan scene, avoiding the reproduction of approaches that have failed to produce sustainable solutions.
Kroslak stressed her team's keenness to take into account all perspectives and integrate them into the ongoing evaluation process, in preparation for submitting recommendations to the United Nations Secretary-General.
