Libya’s Parliament unanimously ratified the memorandum of understanding concluded between the Tripoli government and Türkiye on the delimitation of maritime jurisdiction zones in the Mediterranean. The MPs also cancelled two 2020 resolutions rejecting ratification of the agreements between the two governments and calling for political relations with Türkiye to be severed, according to the Parliament’s official spokesman, Abdalla Bleihaq.
The session, chaired in Benghazi by Al-Salheen Abdel-Nabi, also led to the creation of a committee tasked with contacting the High Judicial Council. Parliament postponed until a future session consideration of the creation of an authority for managing emergencies, crises and disasters. The next meeting is scheduled for 2 November in Sebha.
The MPs referred a proposal to amend the cybercrime law to the legislative committee so that it could be rewritten. A bill intended to restrict the holding of Libyan currencies was sent to the finance committee and is then to be examined by the legislative committee.
The ratification came after several decisions by the Libyan Parliament, including its priorities on salaries and imports set on 19 October. The Parliament’s president, Al-Salheen Abdel-Nabi, had called a session in Benghazi on 4 October.
