Acting Special Representative of the Secretary General for Libya Stephanie Williams Briefing to the Security Council
Format
Members of the Security Council,
I wish to congratulate Tunisia for assuming the Presidency of the Council for the month of January.
This month marks one year since Chancellor Merkel of Germany and the Secretary-General convened the Berlin Conference on 19 January 2020. The Conference did not put an immediate end to the conflict and the suffering of the Libyan people. Nor did foreign support to the warring parties relent and indeed, this blatant foreign interference continues.
However, the 55-point communiqué agreed by the Member States and partner organizations in Berlin articulated a comprehensive framework to address the full range of issues fuelling the Libyan conflict. Its subsequent endorsement by this Council, through resolution 2510 (2020), anchored our effort to bring the Libyan parties to the negotiating table.
Tripoli [Libya], January 21 (ANI/Xinhua): The Constitutional Committee comprised of Libya s eastern-based House of Representatives and the Tripoli-based High Council of State have agreed to hold a constitutional referendum ahead of the upcoming elections, the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) said Wednesday.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the Constitutional Committee held a meeting in the Egyptian city of Hurghada, and agreed on holding a constitutional referendum before the general elections on December 24, UNSMIL said in a statement later Wednesday.
The UN body said that the members of the two councils have agreed to resume their discussions in Hurghada on February 9-11 and to invite the High National Elections Commission to participate in the discussion on the implementation of the referendum.
