UNSMIL announced yesterday that it is starting consultations in Tunis today with the House of Representatives (HoR) and High State Council (HSC) Joint Committee – but without the HoR. While the HSC had announced previously its 12 Joint Committee members (double what UNSMIL has asked for), the HoR has failed to announce its representatives. On the same day, the SASG sent official invitations to the heads of the HoR and the HCS to select representatives to participate in the joint committee. To date, the UN has yet to receive the list of the HoR’s representatives for the joint committee although we remain in active communication with the Speaker’s office. Therefore, it is expected, as the UNSMIL statement predicted, that the HoR representatives will join the process late.
