London, 24 January 2021:
The Libyan House of Representatives (HoR) and High State Council (HSC) 13+13 Committee meeting in Bouznika, Rabat, Morocco have agreed that Libya’s top sovereign positions will be distributed regionally and within agreed meritocratic criteria.
The agreement comes within Article 15 of the 2015 Skhirat Libyan Political Agreement (LPA) which prescribes that all top sovereign Libyan positions must be agreed by the HoR and HSC through their joint Committee. Several armed skirmishes and wars as well as political disagreements between the two internationally recognized bodies have prevented agreement since 2015.
