Tripoli, October 23, 2025 (LANA) – The 5+5 Joint Military Commission (JMC) affirmed its full commitment to implementing the ceasefire agreement between the Libyan parties, marking the fifth anniversary of its signing on October 23, 2020, under the auspices of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL).

In a statement issued today, the JMC said it recalls the signing of the agreement, which marked a milestone in the process of achieving peace and stability in the country. It noted that the agreement was "based on fundamental principles, most notably the unity of Libya's territories, the protection of its borders on land, sea, and air, and the rejection of subjecting national decisions to any external forces."

The statement added that the agreement "stopped the bloodshed of war, saved the lives of Libyans, and contributed to preserving civil peace and promoting a spirit of tolerance among the people of the country." It emphasized that "the agreement remains in force without any significant violations, thanks to the ongoing efforts of the JMC's subcommittees."

The JMC noted that implementing the agreement's provisions faced significant challenges due to the ongoing political division and the faltering electoral process, despite it being a national demand of all Libyans.

The committee concluded its statement by reaffirming its commitment to continuing work and implementing all provisions of the agreement, most notably the withdrawal of mercenaries, fighters, and foreign forces from Libyan territory, the dissolution of armed formations and groups, and the unification of the military establishment to ensure the country's security and stability.

It is worth noting that the ceasefire agreement signed in Geneva in 2020 stipulated an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire throughout Libya, the withdrawal of foreign forces and mercenaries within three months, the suspension of foreign military agreements, and the formation of the Joint Military Commission (5+5) to oversee implementation and monitor the situation on the ground. It also included the opening of roads and airports and the exchange of detainees as confidence-building measures, leading to the unification of the military establishment and the integration or demobilization of fighters in accordance with national standards.
