19 Octobre 2017

Tunis, Tunisia, October 19 (Infosplusgabon) - Libya’s House of Representatives and High Council of State’s Joint Drafting Committee resumed its sessions in Tunis, Tunisia, on Thursday to build on the progress achieved over the past week, and continue the finalization of the amendments to the Libyan Political Agreement (LPA).

According to a statement issued by the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) spokesperson, the session, facilitated by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Libya, Dr. Ghassan Salame, delved into addressing the remaining issues where there was no agreement.

It said the discussions were frank, constructive and produced some headway in the drafting process. Yet some issues still required further discussions and the Committee will reconvene again on Saturday at UNSMIL to address them.

The statement added: “The Special Representative and the Committee members acknowledge the urgency of completing this process and quickly to advance the UN Action Plan and start addressing the difficult living conditions of the Libyan people and prepare the country for free and fair elections to take place before 20 September 2018.”
