    Without for war crimes and violations of human rights, will be another shallow, self-congratulatory international effort with no permanent effect. Truth, Justice, reparations, and non-recurrence must be guaranteed.

    If you only read one thing to understand what Berlin’s promise is, and immense challenges are, let it be this.

    The idea of foreign monitors is likely to be hotly contested by states like , and who see it as an opportunity to strengthen influence via boots on the ground

    “And others”... why is it so hard to say “UAE”? I count the same number of syllables. For as long as certain names are unutterable... I fear we might be in another capital for another conference in the coming months.

    On B-day, let states remember who the real stakeholders are: the -n people and all people in Libya. Without access to truth, justice, reparations and guarantees of non-recurrence, the process will remain one for those who create, and not those impacted by, conflict.

    What he said!

    The only way this makes sense is a) ending the blockade becomes a ‘concession’ for Berlin negotiations or b) it can be leveraged to support LAAF campaign to break Sanalla-led NOC’s monopoly on oil sales

    The Berlin process will lose credibility if for violations of human rights and international humanitarian law is not at its. The subordinaron of justice is the reason no process has succeeded. Justice is a prerequisite for sustainable peace.
