Libyan delegates launch new round of UN-led political talks

The forum is trying to agree on a constitutional framework to govern the coming parliamentary and presidential polls.

Delegates from war-torn Libya are aiming to reach a compromise before planned elections. Wednesday’s United Nations-led meeting via video conference came six weeks after the failure of negotiations held in Switzerland between the 75 participants from all sides gathered for the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum. The UN Support Mission in Libya was forced to acknowledge the failure of that session after four days, due to a lack of consensus among the delegates.
