UNSMIL - بعثة الأمم المتحدة للدعم في ليبيا 67d ago

For their third session: members of the Structured Dialogue’s Governance Track met for four days during April 13-16 to develop recommendations on unifying and strengthening the governance framework in Libya and identifying a path to inclusive elections. Members discussed ways to strengthen the constitutional and executive governance to overcome the current political bottleneck as well as local governance. Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary General, Political, Stephanie Koury, and Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary General and Resident Coordinator, Ulrika Richardson attended a number of the sessions across the week. To build on existing Libyan efforts, the Governance track heard from the Advisory Committee members on their recommendation related to electoral government as well as Peace Makers on their cumulative work on local governance. An external constitutional expert was also invited to present an overview of Libya’s constitutional discussions, including contentious issues and shared comparative examples from other country contexts. “The Governance Track is tackling some of the most difficult issues facing Libya,” said DSRSG Koury. “The strength of the dialogue is in listening to different perspectives and appreciating the complexity of the situation in Libya. In this way, hopefully the Structured Dialogue participants can find common ground and consensus based implementable recommendations which help the country to move forward.” Read more: https://unsmil.unmissions.org/en/news/structured-dialogue-governance-track-continues-discussion-on-issues-to-enable-national
