Almost 15 years after the fall of Gaddafi, Libya remains divided between the recognized international government of national unity in Tripoli and the rival government of national stability in Benghazi.
Although a truce was reached on May 14, the start of fighting last month in the capital “temporarily disrupted the United Nations development and humanitarian operations,” said the top sent Hanna Tetteh.
Fragile truce
May 18, with the support of the United Nations support mission in Libya (Little vintage), the presidential council created a truce committee.
Composed of key safety players, the organization has been mandated to monitor the ceasefire, facilitate the permanent end of the fighting and ensure the protection of civilians.
While Unsmil strives to facilitate tensions and prevent other clashes, the presidential council has also set up a temporary security and military arrangement committee, responsible for maintaining peace and reorganizing the security forces in the capital.
“” The truce, however, remains fragile and the unpredictable overall security situation“Said Ms. Tetteh.
Serious serious violations
The armed clashes that broke out in May led to death and civil injuries, as well as damage to critical civil infrastructure, stressing the gaps in the state security forces by adhering to international humanitarian law and human rights, she continued.
Ms. Tetteh expressed her alarm in the face of massive pits found in Abu Slim, citing emerging evidence of serious human rights violations – including extrajudicial murders, torture and applied disappearances – allegedly by state security forces.
“The presence of charred remains, organizations not identified in Morgues and an unofficial detention site suspected at the Abu Salim Zoo underlines the scale and severity of these abuses“She said.
Change request
“” Many Libyans are deeply disappointed with the prolonged transition period And have lost confidence in current institutions and leadership, “said Tetteh.
As civilians are increasingly doubting the will of the current management to put national interests above their their own, there is a high demand for political processes which allows the participation of the public, allows elections and offers a democratic government with a clear mandate for a real change.
Unsmil intends to present a timepiece linked to time and politically pragmatic – in order to reach the end of the transition process – at the time of her next briefing, Tetteh told ambassadors.
“” I urge all the parts to engage in good faith and to be ready to forge a consensus on this roadmap“She said.
