“I arrived in Tripoli today to start my duties as the Special Representative of the Secretary -General of the United Nations to Libya and head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya,” Patelli said in a statement published by the mission.
According to local media, a top foreign ministry official has met with the ninth UN representative since 2011.
The biggest threat to the stability of the nation is the failure to hold the presidential and parliamentary elections that were originally slated for December 2021 but were postponed indefinitely due to significant disagreements over the basis of the constitution.
The objective is to identify a “consensual path that leads to the staging of thorough and credible national elections at the earliest opportunity,” according to Abdullah Pateli, who held the seat that has been empty since Jan Kubesh, of Slovakia, resigned in November 2021.
The UN is dedicated to supporting Libya in holding thorough presidential and parliamentary elections because it is important to respect the wishes of the millions of Libyans who have registered to vote, he continued.
In Tripoli, the new UN ambassador to Libya begins his duties.
