The situation in Libya - Security Council, 10017th meeting
As the Head of the United Nations presence in Libya told the Security Council today that major milestones along the political road map for the country remain unmet — and that the organ may have to consider alternative approaches should the stalemate continue — speakers voiced additional concern over continuing fragility in Libya’s security and economic sectors.
“While the current Libyan leaders and institutions have expressed their commitment to engage constructively, their actions have not sufficiently matched their words,” reported Hanna Serwaa Tetteh, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Libya and Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL). Among other issues with the UNSMIL-facilitated political road map — which aims to unify State institutions and renew their legitimacy through presidential and legislative elections — the House of Representatives and the High Council of State have yet to jointly discuss the constitutional and legal framework for elections.
