Yesterday, Saturday, the Libyan Association for Political Science organized a dialogue on national reconciliation and the extent of the Libyan need to support its achievement in order to ensure the stability of the state.
According to the Libyan newspaper Al-Anbaa, the session was divided into two axes: the first is transitional justice and national reconciliation, and the second is the incoherence of reconciliation projects in Libya, with the aim of reaching the foundations of building a model that guarantees the rights of citizens and reparation of all types of harm.
The dialogue discussed the need for transitional justice in its legal and non-legal stages as a proactive step to establish a solid foundation for reconciliation. It also discussed the failure and faltering attempts to implement national reconciliation presented by international envoys or local committees, as well as the severe impact of instability on society, the state and its institutions, given the financial losses that it has incurred. Reports indicated that the armed conflict cost an estimated 783 billion Libyan dinars.
The discussion included talking about the hotbeds of threat to national unity, most notably the displaced and the families of martyrs who are bloodthirsty, as well as the transformation of the media into hubs for fighting that contributed to division, incitement, and the dissemination of hate speech.
The participants touched on models for implementing transitional justice and national reconciliation in its three types, including turning the page on the past, amnesty, forgiveness after revealing the facts or accountability and reparation, the strategic vision of the Political Council, and excluding the African Union from the Libyan problem, stressing that national reconciliation is an inevitable necessity for building the state and not the other way around. Noting that other country’s experiences in this regard may be successful if applied according to local standards. The dialogue hosted the Professor of Philosophy of Law at the University of Benghazi, Dr. Khaled Salman Al-Zughaibi, and the Professor of Political Media at the University of Derna, Dr. Raqi Mustafa Al-Shahibi, in the presence of a member of the House of Representatives, Ibrahim Al-Zugheed, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in charge of the Libyan government in charge of the House of Representatives, Abdul Hadi Al-Hawaij, and a group of members of the tribal councils. Social arbitration committees, and a number of people interested in political affairs.
