STORYLINE:

The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) on Sunday announced that the newly formed advisory committee held its first meeting in the capital Tripoli.

UN deputy special representative for Libya Stephanie Koury highlighted the advisory committee's key role as part of the inclusive, intra-Libyan political process designed to break the current political impasse, UNMSIL said in a statement.

Koury explained that the committee is not a decision-making body, and that it will generate technically sound and politically viable proposals to address contentious issues in the electoral framework, the statement said.

The committee will be time-bound and its outcomes will be submitted to UNSMIL in preparation for the subsequent phases of the political process in support of Libyan institutions and decision-makers in facilitating the holding of national elections, the statement added.

Libya failed to hold general elections in December 2021 as previously scheduled, due to disagreements among the Libyan parties over election laws.
