Stephanie Williams' offer came a day after the country's eastern-based parliament swore in a prime minister in a challenge to interim premier Abdulhamid Dbeibah -- a move observers fear could tip Libya into a new schism. Williams, UN chief Antonio Guterres' Special Advisor on Libya, warned Friday in a series of tweets that "the solution to Libya's crisis does not lie in forming rival administrations and perennial transitions." Williams on Friday stressed "the fundamental importance of preserving security and stability, and refraining from all acts of escalation." After he was ousted and killed in the NATO-backed uprising, Libyan politicians agreed on a "constitutional declaration". In 2017, a committee submitted a proposed constitution to parliament, which was meant to organise a referendum -- but never did.
