The sources said in statements to “Sky News Arabia”, from Paris, that 25 countries and organizations signed the draft final statement of the conference, while the majority of attendees agreed on the need to commit to holding the elections on time according to the UN plan.
The sources revealed a dispute that took place this morning between Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Dabaiba and the President of the Presidential Council, Mohamed El Manfi, due to a difference of views on some issues related to the political and security situation and the mechanisms for the exit of foreign forces from the country, explaining that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi succeeded in containing the dispute. All parties continued discussions.
The sources indicated that most parties agreed that the elections should be held on time, but some parties tried to support the extension of the presence of foreign forces in the country, and there is also a difference of opinion about the mechanisms for removing foreign mercenaries from the country.
The participants in the Paris International Conference on Libya called for respecting the road map, which ends with holding general presidential and parliamentary elections on December 24, waving to resort to the Security Council, to deter those seeking to disrupt it.
This came in the draft final statement of the conference, which was seen by “Sky News Arabia”, where it warned that “those who may try to obstruct, authorize, manipulate or rig the electoral process will be held accountable, and they can be dealt with through the sanctions committee of the UN Security Council.”
The draft also stressed the need to implement the terms of the map, respect the political and civil rights of Libyans, and democratic principles and equality among all of them, including rejecting hate speech, incitement or the use of violence in the political process, and refraining from any actions that would obstruct or undermine the outcome of the elections and the democratic handover of the elected authority. .
It urged Libyan stakeholders and candidates to respect their obligations towards the elections, to publicly abide by the rights of political opponents before, during and after the elections, and to accept their free, fair and transparent results.
The conference, which was co-chaired by France, Italy and Germany in addition to the United Nations, focused on expanding the circle of participating countries, especially those concerned with the Libyan issue.
