LPDF to hold a virtual meeting on 11 August to discuss the Proposals Bridging Committee outcomes transmitted today by Special Envoy for Libya

TRIPOLI, 5 August 2021 - The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) will facilitate a virtual meeting of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) on 11 August to consider the outcomes of the LPDF's Proposals Bridging Committee (PBC) and next steps following the conclusion of the Committee’s deliberations that took place on 16, 27 and 30 July and on 2 August, resulting in four proposals for the constitutional basis for the elections on 24 December.

Special Envoy of the UN Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) Ján Kubiš conveyed today the four proposals of the constitutional basis developed by the PBC in a letter to the LPDF. 

In his letter to the LPDF members, Special Envoy Kubiš noted that the Committee had also reached an agreement on a voting mechanism and reiterated that “in considering any proposals, it is necessary to fully respect the requirement that none undermines your promise to the Libyan people to hold elections within the timeline set by your Roadmap.”
