UN mission establishes advisory panel to tackle Libya's election stalemate

The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) has established a committee tasked with proposing solutions to facilitate long-delayed national elections, aiming to overcome political deadlock. Comprising 20 members, including 13 men and seven women, the advisory body will meet in Tripoli next week to address issues that disrupted the 2021 election process. Despite enduring conflicts since a 2011 uprising, Libya remains divided with dual administrations. The committee, selected for their expertise and professionalism, is not a decision-making entity but will quickly conclude its work, forwarding proposals for the next stages of Libya's political process.
