Tensions in Libya have risen since we last met on this subject, so today’s discussion is particularly timely. We support Special Adviser Williams’ efforts to mediate between the House of Representatives and High State Council to establish a constitutional basis for elections. Libyan public institutions are there to serve the whole of Libya and should be empowered to do so. There is a real risk of dangerous escalation that could unravel the hard-won ceasefire and threaten Libya’s stability. It is now incumbent on all of us to facilitate a path to the elections the Libyan people are waiting for.
