Former US envoy to Libya Jonathan Weiner said that the essence of US efforts to achieve stability in Libya begins with democracy and elections, and includes unifying institutions and using natural resources and wealth for the benefit of Libyans in a comprehensive manner.
Weiner said in statements to Al-Jazeera Net that this is reflected in the four principles in which the United States defined its strategy to prevent conflicts and promote democracy.
Weiner stated that Libya needs to monopolize the use of force over its government under the rule of law, pointing out that the unified army, the national border control system, and local police forces subject to civilian rule are all normal elements of any normal government and country.
Weiner pointed to Libya’s need to manage its revenues in a manner that is reasonably efficient, and to resist corruption that erodes the legitimacy of any government that embraces it, and undermines public confidence in any country where it becomes an essential factor in the daily lives of consumers and businesses alike.
