LIBYA: UN URGES POLITICAL DIALOGUE AS GUNMEN OVERTAKE MINISTRIES AND
OTHER STATE INSTITUTIONSNew York, Apr 30 2013 12:00PMThe United
Nations mission in Libya today said it is following the latest
developments in the country where armed gunmen have overtaken the
ministries of justice and foreign affairs, and other State
institutions, and urged all Libyans to join the country's democratic
transition.

In a <"http://unsmil.unmissions.org/Default.aspx?tabid=3561&ctl=Details&mid=8549&ItemID=1399454&language=en-US">statement
from the capital, Tripoli, the UN Support Mission there (UNSMIL) said
it stresses the basic right of all Libyans to express their demands by
peaceful means but "underlines the need for all to abide by the
principles and goals of the Libyan revolution, in which the
revolutionaries played a historic and decisive role and paid dearly to
achieve it."

"These principles revolve around the building of a modern and strong
state based on democracy, rule of law and human rights," the Mission
added.

Dozens of armed men occupied the Libyan Justice Ministry earlier
today, according to media reports, forcing ministry staff to leave.
Meanwhile, the country's Foreign Ministry remains under siege for a
third day. Protesters have told journalists that they want to push the
General National Congress – Libya's highest legislative authority - to
pass a proposed law that would ban Muammar al-Qadhafi-era officials
from holding Government posts.

Mr. Al-Qadhafi was overthrown in 2011 after decades of autocratic
rule. Since then, UNSMIL has been assisting the country's transition
toward a modern democratic State.

"UNSMIL urges all Libyans to adhere to constructive dialogue to
resolve their differences in accordance with the principles of
democracy as the way forward to achieving the goals of the
revolution," according to the statement.

The UN Mission also urges all Libyans, "including the revolutionaries
who were instrumental in liberating the people from dictatorship, to
join efforts at this critical stage of their country's democratic
transition to build the State and support its elected bodies and
legitimate institutions."

The Mission also stressed the need for all to create a conducive
environment for these institutions to be able to carry out the duties
entrusted to them by the people and to ensure that their authority,
the integrity and credibility of their decisions are respected, the
statement noted.

Last month, protesters overran the General National Congress and
attempted an attack on its president, leading to condemnations from
Tarek Mitri, the Secretary-General's Special Representative and UNSMIL
head.Apr 30 2013 12:00PM
