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.
