Video: Libya – quo vadis?
Challenges and opportunities for peace, and the role of the international community
Watch the video of our online panel discussion on the challenges and opportunities for peace in Libya.
Eleven years after the outbreak of the civil war and the ensuing international intervention, Libya is still deeply divided and paralysed by rivalling governments and militias. After several rounds of internal fighting, and with support by the United Nations and the international community, a ceasefire agreement was signed in 2020. Presidential elections have been scheduled, but were repeatedly postponed since then.
In this virtual panel discussion, we analysed the consequences of the international intervention and the background and patterns of the conflict. We assessed the role of the international community today and looked into opportunities and challenges for Libya’s immediate future.
