The transition programme

The transition programme involved the entire Mission, both at headquarters and in the field offices.

Lost in Transition

The use of national UNVs in the public information area was the model on which MINUGUA later based the National Transition Volunteers Programme, which functioned during 2004.

There are also other pressing priorities that were not part of the transition programme, including constitutional reform, economic recovery, poverty reduction and the provision of basic services such as water and electricity, which will require attention.

In 2003, the Transitional Employment Allowance was introduced.

(c) To continue to respect their obligations as regards the implementation of the Transitional Constitution

The transnational cyber domain poses new questions about the meaning of national security.

Political experience has never been a prerequisite for NTC membership.

The NTC may not be able to solve all of Libya s problems.

The NTC deliberates rather than decides.

Indeed, the NTC willingly facilitated the military s demise.

The city was also provisional capital of the National Transitional Council.

In the Somali Transitional Federal Parliament, 12 per cent of the seats are to be reserved for women, and a woman, Fowzia Mohamed Sheikh, is the newly appointed cabinet minister for Gender and Family Affairs.

The time frame for the establishment of transitional justice mechanisms has not yet been set.

Several countries that had provided funds in the past to the MINUGUA Trust Fund gave their permission for the use of unspent balances from those earlier donations to support the National Transition Volunteer Programme, as well as other initiatives such as the National University Peace Library and the production of digitalized reference collections.

Today, the NTC simply does not have the human resources to consolidate the transition.

The National Transitional Council of Libya has declared International Workers' Day to be a national public holiday starting this year.

Public Information

The NTC has suffered regular internal disputes, and its membership and functioning are shrouded in secrecy.

But it is not only a shortage of capable public servants that hamstrings the NTC.

In Liberia, in line with the transitional planning approach to repatriation, reintegration, rehabilitation and reconstruction, a memorandum of understanding has been signed between UNDP and UNHCR to develop seamless transition from relief to recovery and to strengthen the capacity of community structures in areas of high return.

As a result, the NTC simply does not have the time necessary to implement the changes the Libyan people expect.

Today, the NTC is hard pressed to find competent, politically untainted bureaucrats to fill its ministries.

The National Transitional Council refuses to make difficult decisions, instead palming them off to a future elected government.

It was occupied by anti Gaddafi forces on 7 August, just a few weeks before they entered Tripoli.

Many NTC members believe that the Council lacks the legitimacy to make tough choices.

Unseasoned in the art of politics, the NTC frequently lacks the foresight needed to make critical decisions.

Libyans complain that the new government has continued the NTC s policy of favoring revolutionary brigades over institutionalized security services.

On 9 September, the NTC health minister said that the Khamis Brigade had lost around 9,000 soldiers during the war.

Some concerns have been raised about the interference or influence of some frontline States in the selection and operation of the TFP.

That transformation adhered to the political process mandated in Iraq's transitional administrative law and endorsed by Security Council resolution 1546 (2004).

The World Bank is also evaluating the Government's request for the continuation of the transition support programme for another three years, until the fiscal year 2007 08.

As a result, the NTC and the cabinet that it appointed, known as the executive committee, merely want to pass the baton of authority.

Another, in collaboration with the Canadian Human Rights Commission, examined the theme of work in transition and the potential resulting damage to one's psychological health.

The Government has been engaged in preparations for presidential elections, which, as provided for in the Political Transition Charter, were envisaged by 7 May 2005.

Relevant information on the mechanisms of the Somalia Transitional Federal Parliament, as well as the members of Parliament, assisted the Monitoring Group in its investigations.

The programme is guided by the Administrative and Budgetary (Fifth) Committee of the General Assembly and the Committee for Programme and Coordination.

Report of the World Bank on the International Comparison Programme

The NTC s first prime minister, Mahmud Jibril, was praised by the international community for his vision.

The holding of the presidential elections within the time frame stipulated in the Political Transition Charter is a key benchmark for the full restoration of constitutional normalcy.

The United Nations supported the IGAD led negotiating process and was asked to play a leading role in coordinating international support for implementing the terms of the transitional federal charter that came out of the Conference.

(e) To ensure the effective participation of women in the political process, particularly their access to public office, as stipulated by the Transitional Federal Charter

Most of the interlocutors expressed the view that the justice to be rendered by the transitional justice mechanisms should aim at reconciliation and not revenge.
