Addis Ababa, 13 October 2015: The Chairperson of the Commission of the African Union (AU), Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, continues to follow the evolution of the situation in Libya closely. She stresses once again the need for renewed commitment from all concerned Libyan stakeholders to bring to an end the violence and instability affecting their country, embark upon a genuine process of national reconciliation and meet the aspirations of their people to peace and democracy.   

In this respect, the Chairperson of the Commission urgently appeals to the Libyans to expedite the resolution of the conflict tearing their country apart, on the basis of the proposals submitted to them by the United Nations.

The Chairperson of the Commission reiterates the AU’s commitment to assist the Libyan stakeholders in taking forward the peace and reconciliation process in their country, in collaboration with the countries of the region and relevant international partners, including the League of Arab States, the United Nations and the European Union, as well as concerned bilateral partners.  She underlines the critical importance of a coordinated international action and the role to be played in this regard by the International Contact Group for Libya (ICG-L), established by the AU Peace and Security Council (PSC).
