Participants were convinced that a frank and genuine exchange of views among the Libyans forms the basis for reconciliation, and for that purpose they started with these discussions. All participants stressed the need to work together and cooperate to create a conducive environment for the success of the dialogue that aims to find a peaceful solution to Libya’s political and security crisis.
Participants agreed to send an unequivocal message to all Libyans that they came to Geneva to help in the quest for peace and that they are capable of contributing to that, each in his respective position and area of responsibility.
They underscored their national and professional duty as well as moral responsibility towards their constituencies and that they should spare no effort to work to improve the living conditions of the people they represent.
They discussed the confidence building measures that were reached by the main political dialogue track, and how they can contribute to implementing them to improve the day-to-day lives of the people.
Participants also agreed to send a clear message to all conflicting parties to listen to the call by the elected mayors and representatives, who are closer to their constituencies and aware of their needs and their aspirations, that now is the time to stop fighting and to seize the opportunity for peace presented by the dialogue.
