There is no doubt that national reconciliation is a key element for the success of the political process and for achieving lasting stability. Since its inception, the Presidency Council has therefore made that objective its top priority by establishing the High Commission for National Reconciliation and launching comprehensive reconciliation on 6 September. Many steps are being taken to restore trust among Libyans, the first of which is the exchange of detainees and the release of a number of prisoners who have either served their sentences or been found innocent. We all know that the road to reconciliation is long. In order to get to the end, it is necessary to apply transitional justice, truth, openness, acknowledging past wrongs, reparations, the return of refugees and the displaced and identifying the situation of the missing persons. Only with those steps can we move towards successful, genuine and comprehensive national reconciliation.
