Libya's Presidential Council Calls for Inclusive Political Dialogue as UN Structured Dialogue Concludes
UN Structured Dialogue Finalizes Recommendations for National Elections
TRIPOLI — Libya's Presidential Council, chaired by Mohammed Al-Manfi, on Sunday called for the inclusion of all political and social forces in upcoming political arrangements. The announcement came during the Council's regular meeting on June 7, dedicated to advancing a comprehensive national settlement and ending the country's prolonged transitional phase.
The call coincided with the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) concluding its months-long Structured Dialogue process. On June 7, the four dialogue tracks held their final plenary in Tripoli, presenting recommendations to nearly 200 participants aimed at enabling national elections, unifying state institutions, and addressing Libya's root conflict drivers.
UNSMIL Special Representative Hanna Serwaa Tetteh noted "a strong desire for change, balanced with an abiding determination for Libyan ownership of that change." She emphasized that constructive dialogue across political, geographic, and institutional divides remains possible, and the recommendations will push for reforms through both current and post-election governing entities.
Key Developments and Political Deadlines
The Structured Dialogue's final recommendations focus on three core areas: creating conditions for free and fair elections, strengthening divided state institutions, and tackling conflict root causes. However, six dialogue members protested the final report, claiming it omitted certain recommendations.
Key events from the week of June 5-11:
- UNSMIL held the final Structured Dialogue plenary on June 7 with nearly 200 participants and diplomatic representatives
- The 6+6 Joint Electoral Laws Committee held consultative meetings, affirming commitment to Libyan-Libyan dialogue
- The 4+4 "Smaller Convening" met in Tunis on June 4, with Haftar and Dabaiba family representatives advancing electoral framework discussions
- GNU Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dabaiba stated Libya would not serve as Europe's migration "border guard" while condemning violence against migrants
- Misrata and eight neighboring municipalities announced a new "Central Region" province, sparking protests in Tarhouna and Bani Walid
Diplomatic Engagements Intensify in Tripoli
Chairman Al-Manfi received the credentials of four new ambassadors on June 13: Ma Xueliang of China, Mohammed Habibullah of Bangladesh, Medhi Yahya Lemrabott of Mauritania, and Dr. Hilal Alsanani of Oman. These engagements underscore Libya's continued strategic importance, with major powers maintaining active presences in Tripoli.
Egypt and Greece discussed the Libyan situation during a June 11 call between their foreign ministers, with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel-Aty emphasizing Cairo's support for Libyan unity and institutional unification. Greek Deputy Foreign Minister Alexandra Papadopoulou also met GNU Foreign Minister Taher Al-Baour to discuss maritime demarcation in the eastern Mediterranean.
Military Cooperation and Security Updates
Chief of the General Staff Salah al-Din al-Namroush met French Ambassador Thierry Pallat during an inspection of the Tripoli Naval Base, coinciding with the arrival of the French ship "Pluton." The meeting focused on developing Libyan naval capabilities through joint cooperation programs. Meanwhile, Greece continued its diplomatic push for maritime boundary resolution — a move aimed at countering Turkish claims in the region.
Why This Matters for Libya
These developments mark a critical juncture. The Structured Dialogue's conclusion, combined with the Presidential Council's call for inclusive participation, signals a potential turning point. Yet significant challenges persist — the "Central Region" announcement has already triggered protests, the 6+6 Committee's electoral work remains fragile, and the 4+4 consultations have yet to produce concrete agreements.
The coming weeks will determine whether the Structured Dialogue recommendations translate into actionable reforms. The African Union's Peace and Security Council, which convened its 1352nd meeting on June 9 to discuss Libya, continues to monitor closely. As SRSG Tetteh emphasized, the next phase will be Libyan-led — the question is whether competing factions can deliver the elections and institutional unity the country desperately needs.
