The UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) will wrap up its 7th Round of 5+5 Joint Military Commission (JMC) talksThe UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) will wrap up its 7th Round of 5+5 Joint Military Commission (JMC) talks today. The 5+5 Joint Military Commission has been convening regularly since February 3, 2020 to negotiate military issues concerning the Libyan civil war. In previous rounds of talks, the Commission agreed on the terms for ceasefire implementation. The previously negotiated ceasefire is not only broad but also assumes that the Libyan government has leverage with foreign troops. In order for the ceasefire to be successful, the Commission needs to prevent international actors, like Russia and Turkey, from supporting rival Libyan forces.
