The Libyan Joint Military Committee ends its meeting in Ghadames and agrees on steps to implement the permanent ceasefire agreement in Libya.

Stephanie Williams, acting special representative of the UN Secretary General to Libya, said Tuesday that the Libyan Joint Military Commission has agreed on terms for the cease-fire implementation in the country

A military subcommittee will be set up to supervise the return of forces back to their camps and the withdrawal of foreign forces from conflict lines, Williams told a press conference in the southwestern city of Ghadames.

This military subcommittee will hold its first meeting in the city of Sirte as soon as possible this month, in the presence of the Joint Military Commission and the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), she added.

Williams also said that a meeting will be held on Nov. 16 in the eastern city of Brega to unify the divided Petroleum Facilities Guard (PFG), in the presence of the commanders of PFG, the chairman of the National Oil Corporation, and UNSMIL.

It has been agreed to exchange all prisoners, remove landmines in cooperation with the UN teams and the General Intelligence Service, combat hate speech, and immediately resume flights to the southern cities of Ghadames and Sabha, she said.

The Joint Military Commission will demand the UN Security Council expedite the issuance of a binding resolution obliging the parties to abide by the cease-fire agreement.

On Oct. 23, Williams announced that the Libyan delegations to the 5+5 Joint Military Commission talks in Geneva have signed a permanent cease-fire agreement.

Talks are held in the remote desert oasis of Ghadames, some 465 kilometers (290 miles) southwest of the capital Tripoli and near Libya's borders with both Algeria and Tunisia - far from the power bases of either side.

The talks in Ghadames are part of long-running efforts to broker peace. On November 9, the political leaders are due to hold face-to-face talks in Tunisia.

Libya, with Africa's largest proven crude oil reserves, has been wracked by conflict for nearly a decade, since in 2011. It has since been dominated by armed groups and divided between two bitterly-opposed administrations: the UN-recognized Government of National Accord based in capital Tripoli, and a rival in the east Armed forces supported by Libyan parliament in Tobruk.
