In a statement, the Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union called on all Libyan parties to stop the escalation and adhere to dialogue as a way to settle differences, prevent bloodshed, and spare the brotherly Libyan people more pain and suffering.

It stressed the urgent need to complete the peaceful political process and conduct fair elections that would preserve Libya’s unity, stability and sovereignty, in a manner that would meet the aspirations of its brotherly people for security, stability, development and prosperity.

The Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union said that while it believes in the effectiveness of dialogue and diplomacy, and is confident in the will of the brotherly Libyan people, it affirms the urgent need for all Libyans to come together and defuse the crisis to quickly reach a comprehensive political settlement that advances the country and puts it on the path of progress and prosperity.

The Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union expressed its solidarity with the brotherly Libyan state, reiterating its constant keenness on preserving the unity of the Libyan social fabric, by calling for putting an end to the existing crisis, and resuming sincere national efforts to build strong state institutions capable of achieving the desired security, peace and stability there.
