UN Secretary-General António Guterres is deeply concerned about military escalation at the Brak al-Shati Air Base in southern Libya and calls on all parties to exercise restraint and restore calm, the UN chief's spokesman has said.
To resolve its civil war, Libya needs to start drafting a constitution to implement a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet like that of France, plus a committee-style legislature similar to Switzerland’s. The prerequisite for permanent peace is global democratization. The Libyan government should begin drawing up a basic constitution with the above features in a paradigm shift toward democracy, adhering to One World under One Set of Laws and striving for a constitution that will be in sync with the spirit of the times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
