Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), alongside the Atlantic Council, hosted a roundtable discussion with a group of Libyan representatives from the Coordination Committee of Parties, made up of over 50 political parties and NGOs.

Discussants proposed creating a mechanism for fair elections through a comprehensive plan grounded in popular support. The initiative aims to tackle the roots of the Libyan crisis through economic, political, security, and social reconciliation pathways, aiming for state-building rather than power-sharing. The new proposal may also be taken forward for consideration by the UN Security Council.

Notable delegates included NAI Executive Director and FPI Senior Fellow, Hafed Al-Ghwell, the former Health Minister, Naji Barakat, and the former Head of the Constituent Assembly, Ali Tarhouni, who engaged with Washington-based political experts, politicians and diplomats specializing in Libyan affairs.
