The Libyan Supreme Council of State and the Tobruk Parliament signed, on Saturday, the final draft of the agreement on the mechanism to assume sovereign positions, in Bouznika, Morocco.
A member of the Libyan Supreme Council of State delegation, who preferred not to be named, said: “The two sides signed the agreement pending its approval by the two councils and the signature of the head of the Supreme Council of Libya, Khaled al-Mishri, and the Speaker of the Tobruk Parliament, Aqila Saleh. “
Last Thursday, the Libyan dialogue sessions in Morocco, which began on Sunday, ended with a comprehensive agreement on the criteria and mechanisms related to the assumption of sovereign positions in the supervisory institutions.
This is clear from the statement of the closing session of the meetings hosted by the Moroccan city of Bouznika (north), in the presence of the Moroccan Chancellor Nasser Bourita, members of the delegations of the High Council of State and the Parliament of Tobruk (east).
The statement indicated that the two parties agreed to continue the meetings and to resume them in the last week of September, in order to complete the necessary procedures regarding the activation and implementation of the agreement.
The supervisory institutions, according to Article 15 of the Skhirat Agreement, are the Governor of the Central Bank of Libya, the heads of the Audit Office, the Administrative Control Authority, the Anti-Corruption Commission, the members of the Higher Electoral Commission, the Tribunal Supreme Court and the Attorney General.
In view of the great division of the country between east and west, most of these sovereign institutions, if not all, have been divided, with two heads.
Among the other non-sovereign institutions that could be subject to the same designation mechanisms, the “National Oil” and “Libyan Investment” institutions, due to their economic and financial weight, and the frenzied competition for them.
Diplomatic movements are intensifying to find a political solution to end the conflict in the country, following the victory of the Libyan army in a series of victories that allowed it to expel the militia of retired general Khalifa Haftar from the capital Tripoli ( west), the seat of government and other cities.
Since August 21, there has been a ceasefire in Libya, which Haftar’s militia violates from time to time.
For years, Libya has been experiencing an armed conflict. With the support of Arab and Western countries, Haftar’s militia has been fighting the internationally recognized government for legitimacy and authority in the oil-rich country.
