| Overview of position |
The United Nations Security Council Resolution 2009 established the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) in September 2011. UNSMIL has since commenced its support to the country's new transitional authorities in their post-conflict efforts. These range from assisting the Libyan authorities restore public security and the rule of law, promote inclusive political dialogue and national reconciliation, help the Libyans embark on the drafting of a new constitution and lay the foundation for elections. The most recent UN Security Council Resolutions 2434 and 2486 mandate UNSMIL to support the organization of elections in Libya, in full accordance with the principle of national ownership.Following the revolution in 2011 that led to the overthrow of 40 years of authoritarian rule, the clashes have severely impacted both the political and economic conditions affecting the macro-stability of the country, and the lives and livelihood of the Libyan people. Since the country’s first free elections on 7 July 2012 for the General National Congress (GNC), two subsequent electoral events took place: the Constitution Drafting Assembly election on 20 February 2014 amidst violence and boycott by some minority groups, and the election of a new legislative body, the House of Representatives (HoR) in July 2014. In addition, Libya conducted 95 municipal council elections during 2014 and 2018, as well as 22 second generation municipal council elections in 2019.With an overall goal of building the capacity of Libya’s transitional governance structures and facilitating citizens’ participation in political processes, this UNDP/UNSMIL joint initiative is designed to support Libya in holding municipal council elections. Through support to the Central Committee for Municipal Council Elections (CCMCE) a post-election pilot initiative has been created by the UN project. The objective of the post-election pilot initiative is to:
- Increase the knowledge of citizens / voters of what the municipal councils can and can not do; and by doing this place the Municipal Councils in the context of their functions within the democratic process and within the elected institutions of Libya;
- Help the elected Municipal Councils to showcase their programmes and work, capacitate them to better communicate with their citizens, and increase their ability to deliver basic services to citizens within the range of their mandate;
Help bring international partners together to support municipal councils, and create synergies on capacity building efforts for newly elected councils. The project intends to contribute to the planning, preparation and conduct of workshops to support newly elected councils in 2020 and beyond. The project focuses on supporting newly elected local councils and key staff with capacity development activities. The aim is to increase knowledge and the resources of municipal councils to successfully implement their mandate, and deliver to their citizens better services through strengthened democratic institutions locally. |
