Libyan talks in Tangiers .. Agreement to launch consultations on sovereign institutions and senior positions

The coordination meeting between the two Libyan delegations of the Supreme Council and the House of Representatives concluded its work in Tangiers, Morocco, by agreeing on a mechanism that would allow each region to nominate names for sovereign institutions, and stressed the need to follow a fair and balanced mechanism for the higher positions in the executive authority.

The fourth round discussed the mechanisms of assuming leadership positions, unifying sovereign institutions, and the outcomes of the political dialogue sponsored by the UN mission.

According to the final statement of the fourth round, the proposals referred by the United Nations Support Mission in Libya regarding mechanisms for selecting high-ranking positions in the executive authority were discussed during the preliminary stage.

According to Article 15 of the Skhirat Agreement signed in 2015, the sovereign institutions are represented by the governor of the Central Bank of Libya, the head of the Audit Bureau, the head of the Administrative Control Authority, the head of the Anti-Corruption Commission, the head and members of the High Electoral Commission, the President of the Supreme Court, and the Attorney General.

The statement indicated the necessity of extending state authority over all Libyan lands, launching national reconciliation, transitional justice, and returning displaced persons inside and outside the country in dignity and safety to their homes, with the right of all those affected to obtain reparation and prosecution in accordance with the law.
