The importance of women’s participation in peace processes is not symbolic. They are more likely to endure when women participate meaningfully. Stability is more achievable when women have equal opportunity to shape the future. And societies are stronger & more resilient when women & girls can live free from fear & violence.

Members of the Smaller Convening held today in London their third follow-up meeting to review the implementation of their Agreement, signed on 30 August in Tripoli. They also continued discussions on issues essential to holding presidential and legislative elections. During the meeting, chaired by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Hanna Tetteh, participants underscored the critical importance of unifying the judiciary to ensure successful and credible elections whose results are accepted by all. Members of the Smaller Convening reaffirmed their full respect for the neutrality and independence of the judiciary. In this regard, they agreed to broaden consultations with the various components of the judicial community to identify solutions that would enable a unified judicial institution to play its role in ensuring the success of the electoral process. Participants also reaffirmed their commitment to continuing engagement with all political actors to build support for the 30 August Agreement and pave the way for presidential and parliamentary elections in accordance with what was agreed. The participants concluded the meeting by agreeing to reconvene in two weeks.

I would like to thank the United Kingdom for hosting today’s meeting of the Smaller Convening in London and for its continued support for the UN-facilitated political process in Libya. I also commend the Libyan participants for their continued engagement and constructive efforts to advance the implementation of the 30 August Agreement. Sustained dialogue, compromise and inclusive engagement remain essential to moving the process forward and creating the conditions for unified state institutions and national elections. The United Nations remains committed to supporting a Libyan-led and Libyan-owned political process.

From community initiatives to formal peace processes, women's leadership is critical to achieving lasting peace. Advancing the #WPS agenda remains central to our efforts to support inclusive conflict prevention, peacemaking and peacebuilding. Learn more: dppa.un.org/en/gender-women-…
From Afghanistan to Syria and beyond, women continue to lead, advocate, and build peace under difficult circumstances. Their determination should be matched by our action. Implementing the #WPS agenda means taking concrete steps that make a tangible difference in women’s lives.

Fifty young men and women from across Libya took part in a three-day Model United Nations (MUN) in Misratah from 24-26 October to mark UN Day. Held in collaboration with the Libyan Debate and Dialogue Association (DDA), the MUN focused on increasing understanding of the mechanisms of the UN and building young people's skills in critical thinking and negotiation. Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Political, Stephanie Koury joined participants on the second day, briefing the UN Security Council simulation and taking questions from the participants taking part in the [model] UN General Assembly and Economic and Social Council simulations. "It was a new experience for me in Libya, and one of the most beautiful I’ve ever had," said one male participant. "The most valuable takeaway for me was drafting a position paper; it required me to delve deep and truly understand the stance of the country I was representing before speaking on its behalf." "During the conference itself, I learned to listen attentively, respond with composure and diplomacy, and advocate for a position, even when it differed from my own personal views. I also had the chance to meet young people from various Libyan cities, which allowed me to see challenges and crises from entirely new perspectives," he added. 🔗 Read more: ow.ly/opTx5101BoQ

توصل مشرعون ليبيون وخبراء قانونيون ونشطاء حقوقيون إلى مسودة نهائية لقانون يهدف إلى منح منظمات المجتمع المدني حماية قانونية أكبر، بما يمكنها من العمل بصورة مستقلة وفعالة. وقد تحقق هذا الإنجاز خلال حلقة نقاشية على مدى يومين، عُقدت في وقت سابق من هذا الأسبوع بتنظيم من قسم حقوق الإنسان في بعثة الأمم المتحدة للدعم في ليبيا. وشارك في الحلقة النقاشية، الذي عُقد في تونس، أعضاء من مجلس النواب، ووزير العدل الليبي الأسبق السيد صلاح المرغني، وممثلون عن المجلس الوطني للحريات وحقوق الإنسان، وائتلاف المنصة الليبية، إلى جانب ممثلين عن منظمات المجتمع المدني، ومسؤولين من قسم حقوق الإنسان في البعثة الأممية، والمقررة الخاصة للأمم المتحدة المعنية بالحق في حرية التجمع السلمي وتكوين الجمعيات، وممثلين عن مركز القاهرة لدراسات حقوق الإنسان. وفي كلمتها التي القتها في الجلسة الافتتاحية، أكدت نائبة الممثلة الخاصة للأمين العام للشؤون السياسية، السيدة ستيفاني خوري، أن دور بعثة الأمم المتحدة يقتصر على تيسير الحوار وتقديم الخبرة الفنية عند الطلب. وحثت المشاركين على الانخراط بشكل بناء، وتبادل خبراتهم، والتركيز على مخرجات عملية تضمن مساراً واقعياً للمضي قدماً، متمنية لهم التوفيق في ورشة العمل. واستناداً إلى مناقشات سابقة جرت في جنيف وتونس بتيسير من الأمم المتحدة، أسفرت المداولات عن الاتفاق على مسودة نهائية وتحديد مسار ملموس لطرحها أمام مجلس النواب، وذلك بعد مراجعة دقيقة لكل مادة من مواد القانون. وقد شاركت المقررة الخاصة للأمم المتحدة، السيدة جينا روميرو، في هذه العملية، وتعهدت بمواصلة المتابعة وتقديم الدعم الفني اللازم لاعتماد تشريع يتوافق مع المعايير الدولية المتعلقة بحرية تكوين الجمعيات، ويستند إلى مشاورات شاملة مع المجتمع المدني الليبي. وقالت خلود نجم، مسؤولة حقوق الإنسان في البعثة: "إن الالتزام الملموس بالمضي قدماً نحو اعتماد مشروع القانون يمثل خطوة مهمة لضمان قدرة منظمات المجتمع المدني الليبية على العمل بأمان واستقلالية وفعالية"، وأضافت: "إن حماية حرية تكوين الجمعيات أمر جوهري لضمان مشاركة عامة فاعلة وعملية سياسية شاملة، بما في ذلك إجراء عمليات انتخابية ذات مصداقية". قراءة المزيد: ow.ly/a8Gk5101GnN
