Addressing the closing session , UNSMIL Coordinator and Assistant Secretary-General Raisedon Zenenga noted that the responsibility to finalize the constitutional basis for the elections rests with the LPDF members. “The UN and Libya’s international partners are here to support and assist you, including to offer ideas on how to construct a reasonable compromise that bridges the differences among all parties, ” he added.
