The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) members welcomed the announcement of The United Nations (UN) envoy to Libya Ghassan Salamé on the Libyan National Forum date and place.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the members of the Security Council called on all Libyan parties invited to attend the forum to go “with good faith” considering this forum to be a real chance to end the Libyan crisis by a ‘Libyan decision only’.
The Security Council renewed its support for the efforts of the UN envoy to Libya to find a political solution to the crisis that would end the transition period in Libya and lead to general elections.
On Tuesday, Head of the UN Mission Support in Libya (UNSMIL) Ghassan Salamé warned of the circulation of ‘fake lists of attendees’ to Libyan National Conference anticipated on April 14 in Ghadames city.
On his Tweeter account, Salamé affirmed that he noticed up to seven fake lists on Social media sites. He said that these attempts to spread rumors and fake news only aims to destabilize the country.
Salamé advised Libyan to ignore these lists affirming that he has the only ‘correct one’, and no body else have it.
On March 20, Salame announced before the Security Council that the National Forum is set to be held 14-16 April in Libya in a critical opportunity to end the prolonged transitional period since 2011.
Ahead of the National Conference, we are working with many parties to ensure as broad a buy-in as possible to the political process. What is clear is that the Libyan people fervently desire that their institutions be united as soon as possible,” Salame said
During the forum, the UNSMIL will focus on finalising the draft constitution, which paves the way for the election, forming a national unified government to supervise the referendum and elections, and reshuffling the Presidency Council to be led by a president and two deputies.
