Pulbished on:

Tripoli, 5 February 2025 (Lana): The U.S. welcomed today the UNSMIL’s announcement of the achievement of an expert advisory committee to enhance the political process in Libya.

“I welcome the recent announcement of an expert advisory committee as part of UNSMIL’s new initiative to advance Libya’s political process,” Norland said in a tweet.

“The U.S. supports Libyan efforts to unify institutions, promote peace and stability, and develop a credible path toward national elections,” he reiterated.

The UNSMIL announced yesterday the formation of the Advisory Committee as part of its multi-track political initiative announced to the Security Council on 16 December 2024, stressing that the committee will hold its first meeting next week in Tripoli.

The mission said that the Advisory Committee is composed of Libyan personalities who have been identified based on UNSMIL’s assessment of their experience and capabilities. UNSMIL takes this opportunity to express its sincere appreciation for the strong interest in the work of the Committee.

The role of the Advisory Committee will be developing technically sound and politically viable proposals for resolving outstanding contentious issues to enable the holding of elections, building on the existing Libyan framework and laws, including the Libyan Political Agreement, the LPDF Roadmap, and the 6+6 Electoral laws.

“The selection of the committee members was based on the combination of the following criteria: professionalism, expertise in legal, constitutional, and/or electoral issues, ability to build compromise, and understanding of the political challenges facing Libya. UNSMIL also took into consideration cultural components, geographic and gender balance,” the mission said.

“The Advisory Committee is not a decision-making body or a dialogue forum. It is time-bound and is expected to conclude its work in a short time frame. The proposals formulated by the Advisory Committee will be submitted to UNSMIL for consideration for the subsequent phase of the political process. UNSMIL will facilitate interactions of the Committee with concerned institutions,” it added.
