Al Mayadeen correspondent in Geneva, quoting a UN source, reported that the Libyan parties have reached an understanding with a document expected to be signed on Wednesday.

The source said that "the document to be signed is very important, and will open the door to a serious path towards the elections," adding that "the document will be presented to the Libyan authorities and parties, to be approved before moving to the implementation phase."

On Tuesday, the tripartite meeting that brought together the Speaker of the Libyan House of Representatives, Counselor Aguila Saleh, and the President of the Supreme Council of State, Khaled Al-Mashri, began in the Swiss city of Geneva, in the presence of the Adviser to the Secretary-General of the United Nations on Libya, Stephanie Williams.

The meeting discussed various options and opportunities for agreement on the controversial points related to the constitutional framework necessary to hold elections in Libya as well as a discussion pertaining to the body that will handle the elections law and consult on the new executive authority, represented by the entrusted Libyan government headed by Fathi Bashagha.

During a session at the UN Security Council on Tuesday, the Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations, Rose Marie DiCarlo, announced the organization's readiness to facilitate a dialogue between the governments of Dabaiba and Bashagha.

There are general fears arising regarding the situation in Libya. Many are afraid it will descend, into a civil war, in light of the presence of two conflicting governments. Given that the House of Representatives granted confidence, in March, to a new government headed by Fathi Bashagha, who has failed to overthrow the Dabaiba government. In parallel, the latter refused to hand over power except to a government that comes through Parliament. Elected by the people to end all transitional periods.

Recently, Bashagha called on the security, judicial, financial and military, and governmental authorities in Libya not to deal with the Government of National Unity after the official end of its mandate, considering that whoever violates this is an outlaw.
