TRIPOLI, Libya (AA) – Libya’s election laws drafted by the 6+6 committee have been submitted to UN envoy Abdoulaye Bathily, the head of the Tripoli-based High Council of State (HCS) said Sunday.
“These laws are final, binding and welcomed by the HCS and the House of Representative (parliament),” Khalid al-Mishri said in a statement.
Al-Mishri, whose council acts as a senate, said "in the event that any amendment is needed, which is unlikely, it must be done through the 6+6 joint committee."
The committee is drawn from the East Libya-based parliament and the Tripoli-based chamber.
A number of deputies in both chambers have voiced opposition to the laws drafted by the 6+6 committee, but the panel declared that the laws are "final and enforceable".
Libya has been torn by civil war and instability since the ouster of longtime ruler Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
