The parties to the dialogue face a stark choice. They can delay approval of the text and annexes beyond October 20 or attempt to make further amendments, and thus endanger the stability of the country. To secure Libya's future, we urge the Libyan parties to immediately approve the hard-fought political compromise set out in the political agreement, which will provide a period of stability to the country until a new constitution can be approved. New elections can then be held which will finally give Libya a fully representative, inclusive and democratic parliament whose legitimacy is acknowledged across the country and throughout the world.
The Libyan people have made it clear that they want an end to instability in their country, instability which has led to the loss of lives, allowed terrorism to grow, and severely damaged the economy of the country. The international community stands ready to support the Libyan people and the leaders they choose.
The international community looks forward to working with the Government of National Accord, at its request, in supporting the fight against terrorism, particularly DAESH and Ansar al-Sharia, and in helping Libya tackle its many challenges.
We urge all participants in the dialogue to seize the opportunity to end this instability by approving, and implementing in good faith, the political agreement without introducing further amendments.
