answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2014 answer text <p>The UK is firmly committed to supporting the Libyan people and Government, and I welcome the elections for the Libyan House of Representatives due on 25 June. I hope it will be conducted in a fair, transparent and accountable way which is respected by all parties. I believe that the EU, along with our international partners, can play a crucial role in supporting these elections. An EU Election Experts' Mission monitored the Constitutional Assembly elections in February, and set out recommendations for improvements which were shared with the Libyan authorities in a report. We believe this, along with other EU programmes related to democratic transition in Libya, has laid a solid foundation to facilitate the June elections.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Mr William Hague question first answered 16/06/2014 16:03:15 answering member 379 label Biography information for Lord Hague of Richmond

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2014 answer text <p>The Constitution Drafting Assembly (CDA) in Libya is responsible for drafting the new constitution. The elections for the CDA took place on 20 February and Ali Tarhouni was subsequently elected as Chair of the body. Discussions are on-going to fill outstanding slots for minority groups. I welcome the recent G7 Communiqué which underscored the commitment of the international community to support the work of the CDA. The UK attends the UN Elections and Constitution coordination meetings in Libya which monitors the work of the CDA.</p><p>Whilst there is still much work to do in a challenging timescale and testing security environment, the CDA recently produced an initial programme of what they plan to include in the constitution including the main references and guiding principles. I welcome the efforts the CDA are making in developing a transparent and inclusive process which will benefit all peoples of Libya.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Mr William Hague question first answered 16/06/2014 15:45:42 answering member 379 label Biography information for Lord Hague of Richmond
