Seventeen members of the Political Dialogue Forum called on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to intervene to correct the course of the political process sponsored by the UN represented by its mission to Libya.
In their speech, the members called for speeding up the change of the mission’s staff to what is circulating about the absence of the principle of conflict of interest and the direct association of some members of the mission with the parties of the conflict, and the disclosure of Annex No. 13 of the sanctions committee report on the issue of bribery within the dialogue forum.
The members clarified that there is a violation of the road map approved by the forum and Security Council Resolution 2570 of 2021 regarding the tasks of the national unity government and the prime minister as a sponsor, impartial and guarantor of the electoral process, and the commitments guarantor of the impartiality of this authority surpassed by the Prime Minister.
The members referred to what they described as “the Presidential Council’s failure to perform its duties according to the road map,” the most prominent of which is sponsoring the national reconciliation process, which, should be at least in the preliminary stage, and should have brought together the parties to the conflict in Libya around a national charter to accept the results of the electoral process.
The members stressed the resumption of the political track after its restructuring in order to find out the responsibilities entrusted to it towards what impedes the implementation of the road map for the preliminary stage, and to suggest appropriate remedies for what obstructs its implementation, which threatens the collapse of the political process and the entire process.
