POST-ELECTION LIBYA AND THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU)

23 February 2022

To Register: click here

Libya was expected to hold its parliamentary and presidential elections in December 2021 and January 2022. The elections were postponed, and the parliament has not set a new date. The fragmented nature of Libya’s geopolitical context encourages the need to reflect on the extent to which the EU’s agenda for Libya is fit-for-purpose. On this premise, panellists will engage the following questions:

  1. What is the situation concerning the election in Libya, and how does it impact the priorities and methods of EU mediation efforts?
  2. Should the priorities and methods of the EU within the Libyan context change? If yes, why and from what to what?
  3. What gaps and opportunities can be anticipated and mitigated or leveraged?
