Objectives

In line with its mandate, the priorities laid down in its work plan and in keeping with the provisions of the LPA, UNSMIL and UNDP will support stakeholders to come up with a reference document with options for developing a national reconciliation strategy. The document would inform future strategy and planning purposes in matters related to national reconciliation, as part of the 18 months Peacebuilding Fund supported project. 

The process will be in line with the UN guiding principles on transitional justice, which include transparency, inclusiveness, accountability, and respect for local customs. The UN institutional support on reconciliation is thus focused on strengthening national efforts, including through capacity-building workshops and sharing of comparative experiences, in order to conceptualize and design an inclusive and comprehensive national reconciliation strategy for Libya.

As national ownership and independence is critical to the success of any reconciliation process, and in follow-up to the September 2016 and January 2017 experts meetings on reconciliation and the recommendations emanating from them, UNSMIL and UNDP propose to explore potential entry points in that direction by facilitating a second thematic working group exploring conflict-related detention issues in Libya, and how to include them within a national reconciliation framework and strategy.

Through preparatory research and facilitation during the workshop, the resource person will contribute to defining a clear criteria for the immediate release or due process of all conflict related detainees in Libya, and help define concrete, political and legal steps to that end.
