GENEVA, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) The 18 members of the newly established Libyan Political Dialogue Forum s Advisory Committee will meet at the United Nations (UN) headquarters here on Jan. 13-16, the UN Information Service said on Monday.
The committee s main mission is to discuss outstanding issues related to the selection of a unified executive authority in Libya and to present concrete and practical recommendations upon which the forum s plenary shall decide, the UN said in a message emailed to journalists. The national elections date of December 24, 2021 remains a sine qua non for the UN, a guiding principle and an unrenounceable goal, the message said.
The UN mission in Libya has welcomed a second exchange of prisoners between the country s rival administrations and called for faster progress on other parts of an October truce.
The UN mission in Libya has welcomed a second exchange of prisoners between the country's rival administrations and called for faster progress on other parts of an October truce.
The formerly warring sides exchanged a total of 35 prisoners in the small southwestern town of Shwairif under the auspices of a Joint Military Commission (JMC) set up under the hard-won ceasefire, the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) said late Tuesday.
The two sides completed a first prisoner swap in the same town late last month.
