1/4 I feel another special episode of @libyamatterspod coming looking at the perils of a "cut and paste" approach to mediation by @UNSMIL lacking contextual understanding of the situation in #Libya peppered with a good dose of mansplaining on how the international system "works".
2/4 Confusing reopening agreed points and questions outside the #LPDF's mandate with a "general debate" we are now left with 1.5 days to re-agree everything as everything has been put on the table and the opportunity to table more proposals appears to still be open.
3/4 Again, this comes to questions of due process. The deficit created by the lack of terms of reference for the LPDF or a proper decision making mechanism from the first rounds, has created an environment that empowers those seeking a political deal above all else.
4/4 It relegates the rule of law, #HumanRights and due process by creating a panic to get a deal at any cost. And when this is highlighted, we are told not to be antagonistic to the #UN. Again, it comes down to political expediency prioritising appeasement over accountability.
should have used @UNSMILibya.

1/6 #Libya: We are back in our meetings in the #LPDF. For those interested, I will reflect here on my experiences to the extent I am allowed to do so by the confines of the Code of Conduct.
2/6 Today we heard the suggestions of the Advisory Committee - there is much to discuss in the coming days but one thing that is clear is that we did not learn from our mistakes where it comes to eligibility criteria.
3/6 One criterion is that the candidate "has not been convicted of corruption or violation of #HumanRights or international humanitarian law in a final judgment and in a fair trial".

1/5 لقد عدنا إلي #ملتقى_الحوار_السياسي_الليبي.

لمن يهمه الامر، سأشارككم هنا تجربتي إلى الحد الذي تسمح لي به حدود مدونة قواعد السلوك.
2/5 استمعنا اليوم إلى توصيات اللجنة الاستشارية - هناك الكثير لنناقشه في الأيام المقبلة، ولكن شيء واضح بالنسبة لي وهو أننا لم نتعلم من أخطائنا فيما يتعلق بشروط الترشح.
3/5 أحد الشروط هو أن المرشح "لا يكون قد سبقت ادانته بحكم قضائي نهائي وبات وفي محاكمة عادلة بفساد مالي أو انتهاك لحقوق الإنسان أو القانون الإنساني".
