The third day of the consultations of the Libyan constitutional track committee formed by the House of Representatives (HoR) and the High Council of State (HCS) has concluded in Cairo, under the auspices of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL).

UN Special Adviser on Libya, Stephanie Williams, said she met Wednesday with House of Representatives (HoR) Speaker Agila Saleh in Qubba to discuss plans for next week’s final round of the Joint HoR/High Council of State (HCS) Committee talks in Cairo “aimed at establishing the constitutional framework needed to take Libya to comprehensive national elections as soon as possible.”

Libyan Presidential Candidate, Suleiman al-Bayoudi, said UN Special Advisor on Libya, Stephanie Williams, was capable of successfully setting and facilitating a meeting between representatives of the parliament and High Council of State (HCS) in Cairo based on paragraph 5 of the Twelfth Amendment, but reaching an agreement on the proposed Constitution controversial issues within 60 days’ notice failed.

On her opening remarks for the second session of the joint committee of the Libyan House of Representatives and the High Council of State to determine the constitutional arrangements for elections, UN Special Adviser on Libya, Stephanie Williams, said that “Delays and an open-ended process will not work and will inevitably lead to further division and conflict from where it will be much harder to bring Libya back on the path to stability.”
