The un security council: has welcomed the agreement reached by Libya's rival political parties, which paves the way for elections within two years, describing the UN-backed accord signed in Tripoli on 30 August 2026 as a step towards long-overdue national polls.
According to Oman News Agency, France's UN Ambassador J©r´me Bonnafont, who holds the Council presidency this month, said the agreement is an important step towards free, fair, and transparent elections and a push towards unifying Libya's institutions in line with the aspirations of its people.
He stressed the importance of all relevant Libyan parties supporting the agreement and working towards its implementation, and expressed the Council's full support for UN Special Representative Hanna Tetteh.
Tetteh announced in August 2025 a roadmap covering three key files for stability in Libya: a comprehensive electoral framework for presidential and parliamentary elections; the unification of divided executive institutions through a unified government; and a dialogue involving various Libyan political and national forces.
