Stresses solidarity with the people of Libya and believes that the overthrowing of Muammar Gaddafi demonstrates a clear will from the Libyan people to establish a pluralistic democracy and therefore calls upon the international community to lend supportive measures for institution building that will facilitate a comprehensive political transition; 2. Calls on the international community to support the Libyans in rebuilding their country through ensuring security, helping to address immediate humanitarian needs and supporting and assisting in the processes of reconstruction, where necessary; reminds the international community that hospitals and clinics in Tripoli are in urgent need of humanitarian support in order that they may adequately deal with the 5 000 or so wounded patients; reiterates the need for urgent repair work to be undertaken on Libya’s basic infrastructure, such as water systems, whose deteriorating condition has resulted in substantial numbers of people in Tripoli being without access to clean water; 3. Stresses the importance of a functioning economy for reconstruction efforts in Libya and, to this end, welcomes the Council’s decision of 1 September lifting a freeze on assets held by some national governments; urges the governments concerned to return such assets as soon as possible so that funds may be used by the Transitional National Council for urgently required reconstruction efforts; urges the TNC to use the funds in an accountable and transparent manner in order to improve the lives of the Libyan people in a sustainable manner; 4.

It is strange to feel that such an important topic that we all remember happening is already over 7 years old. Therefore, we felt it would be a good time to simulate it and think about the ways it could have gone. As delegates you will each be given characters to play in this crisis. These were real people who made a difference within the actual Civil War and have their own objectives and goals. You are tasked with advancing the goals of your character and making sure that they end up doing well out of this crisis. Every action will have consequences, everything you do will have ramifications, and mistakes can be deadly. Your chairs will be there to help but they will also be representing characters and have their own interests, meaning they may not be fully trustworthy. Behind the scenes you will have a backroom which will interpret your directives and move the plot forward. We will be there to read what you say and put it into action. However, a word to the wise, the way your wish may be interpreted may not be ideal.

  • A Model for Dialogue and National Reconciliation in Libya
    Report February 2015 A model for dialogue and national reconciliation in Libya By Jamal Bennor Executive summary In 1946 Libyans adopted the Harabi Charter, in which they put aside their past differences and allowed the country to move towards independence and consensus based on a shared national vision. Today the country faces the same kind of need – one that can only be fulfilled by undertaking a national dialogue in which Libyans put aside their narrow and divisive self-interests and agree on a unified vision for the country and its institutions that allows it to move forward into a brighter future. In particular the Islamist movement, which has adopted a polarising and exclusionist approach, needs to hold an intra-Islamist dialogue that will allow it to participate once more in the broad national project. 1946-51: Libya’s successful experience past grievances. As the late king once said: “Let the past with dialogue and reconciliation subside”, meaning that the bitterness of the past should be When it comes to dialogue and reconciliation in Libya, forgotten and that everyone should look to a brighter future everyone remembers the Harabi Charter, which was for the coming generations.

  • Libya's Floundering Transition | the Washington Institute
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 1903 Libya's Floundering Transition by Andrew Engel Feb 21, 2012 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Andrew Engel Andrew Engel, a former research assistant at The Washington Institute, recently received his master's degree in security studies at Georgetown University and currently works as an Africa analyst. Brief Analysis Washington should help improve conditions on the ground in Libya before the upcoming parliamentary elections, supporting civil society organizations that include rebels and prodding the interim government toward greater transparency. ebruary 17 marked the one-year anniversary of the Libyan revolution, yet the country's transition toward F democracy has floundered due to mismanagement by the interim government. Plans to hold parliamentary elections by June 23 are under way regardless of the domestic situation -- or how many rebels remain armed. In response, Washington should do what it can to encourage a more amicable electoral environment, one that includes rebels as stakeholders. Governing by Crisis S ince Muammar Qadhafi's fall, both Mustafa Abdul Jalil's National Transitional Council (NTC) and Prime Minister Abdul Rahim al-Keib's interim cabinet have been unable to exert authority evenly throughout Libya. As a result, the security situation has deteriorated, and public confidence in the transition has plummeted. Today, the interim government makes its presence felt only at times of crisis, intervening to stem intra-rebel fighting, human-rights abuses, protests against the national leadership, and rebel attempts to impose control over pro-Qadhafi towns. Top officials have been dispatched to mediate such crises, from Abdul Jalil and al-Keib to Defense Minister Osama Juwaili and Sheikh Sadiq al-Ghiryani, the country's leading religious figure.
