The proceedings of the consultative meeting of the Libyan House of Representatives, held on November 23-28 in Tangier, resulted in an agreement to hold a meeting of the Lower House in the city of Ghadames, just after the return of its members to Libya.
The purpose of this meeting will be to decide on “anything likely to put an end to the division within the House of Representatives in order to enable the legislative institution to carry out its missions,” according to the final declaration read out Saturday during the closing session of the consultative meeting of Tangier.
The 123 Libyan deputies who attended the consultative meeting said they were determined to move forward to end the situation of conflict and division within all the institutions, and to preserve the unity of the State and its sovereignty. They also announced their decision to make the city of Benghazi the seat of the parliamentary institution.
The deputies also called for giving impetus to the path of national reconciliation, the safe return of displaced persons, and the reparation of damages.
According to the document, the Libyan MPs expressed their full readiness to positively address all the outcomes of the dialogue tracks in accordance with the Constitutional Declaration and its amendments and the Libyan Political Agreement. A positive assessment was also made of what had been achieved through the 5+5 Committee.
Among the points agreed is also the commitment to hold presidential and parliamentary elections in accordance with a constitutional framework and to end the transitional phase, provided that it does not exceed one year from the date of the meeting of the House of Representatives.
The deputies stressed the need to respect the Constitutional Declaration, and the importance of adhering to what is expressed in paragraphs 25-28 of the executive formula of Security Council Resolution CSR2510 on the role of the House of Representatives and not creating a parallel body that would contribute to confusing the scene.
The protagonists of the meeting in Tangier also stressed the need to reject hateful discourse and called on all the media to defend the discourse of reconciliation and tolerance.
The document welcomed Morocco’s efforts and its commitment to supporting the Libyan people so as to reach a political solution to the Libyan crisis and ensure the return of stability in the country.
In remarks shortly before the reading of the final declaration, Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans abroad, Nasser Bourita said that the results of the consultative meeting of Tangier will be an “important changing point with a great impact on the political process” in Libya.
