Libya's National Dialogue Meets with Tunisian President and Leaders to Gather Insights on Dialogue*
Digital Journal
Senior Tunisian politicians from across the political spectrum will today share their experience of Dialogue with members of Libya's National Dialogue Preparatory Commission. The Tunisian President, Moncef Marzouki, will meet with Fadeel Lameen, Chairman of the Preparatory Commission, and Saleh Algazal, a Commission member and former prisoner of conscience.
The discussions in Tunis, which will include meetings with former Prime Minister Beji Caid el Sebsi, Hassine Abbassi, leader of the Tunisian General Labour Union, and Rashed Ghannouchi, leader of the Ennahda Party, follow on from an offer of expertise from the Tunisians to the Libyan National Dialogue last month. Members of the National Dialogue Preparatory Commission have been holding meetings with senior figures from around the Arab world who have been involved in successful Dialogue initiatives, including Yemen, where the National Dialogue has been vital in stabilising the country.
Drawing on the best practices of other countries that have held successful National Dialogues, the Preparatory Commission is in the final stages of planning for the Libyan National Dialogue, which will be appropriate to the country and its challenges.
Mr Lameen said, "Every National Dialogue is different. The issues that each country faces is unique, and it is important to understand the successes and shortcomings of other dialogue processes, so we can create for the Libyan people the most appropriate model, with the best chance of success.
"The international community has been extremely helpful in ensuring that we meet with experts from the Yemeni Dialogue, South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and now the Tunisians. Tunisia has been an outstanding example of what can be achieved when problems are tackled on the basis of consensus rather than division.
"By meeting with Tunisian leaders from across the political spectrum, including senior members of both Nidaa Tounes and Ennahda, we will gain new perspectives from both sides on how to approach problems on a consensual basis and build unity, rather than allow differences of opinion to stymie progress."
Mr Algazal said, "The National Dialogue will be critical to stabilising Libya and will bring a fresh approach to the challenges that we face. We have already made excellent progress, completing the National Engagement and Participation Tour, and announcing the segments of society to be represented at the National Conference.
"We are now finalising our plans and will shortly be announcing dates for the start of the National Dialogue Conference. The Tunisians have a great deal to offer in terms of experience, and we will be benefitting from their insights as we proceed."
NOTES TO EDITORS
The first phase of the Dialogue is lasting three months and is a chance for every citizen to share his or her views at events around the country and via a multiple mediums. It will include a formal discussion in which a representative group of 300 delegates will draft a National Charter.
The dialogue will go on to serve as a process for building consensus around issues of national significance such as security, reconciliation, transitional justice and development.
The National Dialogue Preparatory Commission is a group of volunteers working together to build a framework through which national consensus and unity will be established.
In keeping with the independence of the National Dialogue process, each member of the Preparatory Commission is not aligned with any political parties or specific factions. Each member has agreed to carry out his or her work setting up the Dialogue without compensation, and each has pledged not to seek or accept a seat at the table when the drafting of the National Charter formally begins.

Libya becomes a member of the EBRD*
EBRD
Libya has become a member of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), with a view to becoming an EBRD recipient country, which would enable Libya to benefit from the Bank’s investment programmes.
The EBRD Board of Governors approved Libya’s membership on 15 May during the Bank’s Annual Meeting in Poland.
Any decision to grant recipient country status to Libya will be taken separately following a thorough assessment by the Bank of the political, economic and operational environment in the country.
In 2013, Libya’s authorities sought EBRD membership, saying that the Bank’s support would play an important role in helping the country implement programmes of economic reform and would contribute to its economic growth.
The request followed the decision by the Bank’s shareholders to extend the EBRD’s remit to the southern and eastern Mediterranean (SEMED) following a wave of political change that began in the region in 2011.
Since 2012, the Bank has invested in four SEMED countries – Egypt, Morocco, Jordan and Tunisia. To date, the EBRD has invested €871 million in 34 projects across various sectors in the SEMED region.

Libya _ ICC: Libya must hand over Saif*
Saudi Gazette
UNITED NATIONS — The Libyan government must surrender the son and onetime heir-apparent of slain dictator Muammar Gaddafi to the International Criminal Court despite its appeal of the handover and legal proceedings under way in Libya, the court’s prosecutor said Tuesday.
Fatou Bensouda told the UN Security Council it was “a source of great concern” that Libya did not immediately hand over Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi to the ICC as it was required to do following a ruling by pre-trial judges last year that he must be prosecuted at the tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands for crimes against humanity.
Libya has argued that Saif Al-Islam should be prosecuted in his own country.
Last month he appeared at a trial in the capital, Tripoli, by video link from the city of Zintan, where he has been held by a militia since his capture in November 2011.
Bensouda told the council that “national judicial proceedings can never be an excuse for failure to comply” with an order from the ICC, even if the Libyan government is appealing the tribunal’s decision to try Saif Al-Islam in The Hague and not at home.
While the ICC is insisting on prosecuting Gaddafi’s son, it gave Libya a green light last October to prosecute former intelligence chief Abdullah Al-Senoussi for crimes against humanity related to his alleged involvement in the deadly crackdown on Gaddafi opponents.
Al-Senoussi, who is detained by the government in Tripoli, has appealed the decision to be tried at home and not by the ICC.
Bensouda expressed concern at the slow pace of Al-Senoussi’s trial and urged the Libyan government to move ahead “without undue delay.”
Libya’s UN Ambassador Ibrahim Dabbashi made no mention of handing over Saif Al-Islam.
He told the council that Libya’s judicial authorities want the ICC to recognize their jurisdiction to try him — and to reiterate their jurisdiction over Al-Senoussi.
On a related issue, Bensouda called on the government to get rid of illegal detention centers, saying they have no place in “modern Libya.” She called reports of torture and mistreatment in these facilities “worrying.”
“While the number of detainees requiring transfer to proper government-controlled detention facilities has reportedly dropped from 8,000 to 7,000, the process of transfer of prisoners to state-controlled detention centers has to be speeded up,” she said.
Dabbashi said as part of efforts to improve the situation of detainees, the justice minister has conducted a census and determined that there are 6,186, including 646 who are serving sentences.
“The Libyan authorities are trying their best to expedite the trials of the other detainees,” he said, but are facing “grave challenges” in speeding them up. – AP
