The statement pointed out to the stand of the AU since the onset of the crisis in Libya, stressing its tireless work towards a solution that meets the legitimate aspirations of the Libyan people for democracy, respect for human rights and good governance.
"Today more than ever before, there is need for the new Libyan authorities to spare no effort in ensuring that those aspirations are fulfilled. " the release said adding that " at this particular juncture, in Libya’s history, the Chairperson of the Commission reiterates AU’s conviction regarding the imperative need for national reconciliation among all Libyans, in line with the stated commitment of the new Libyan authorities, for this is a prerequisite for stability and the establishment of viable, democratic and accountable institutions."
