Main project The Role of Law in Libya’s National Reconciliation (RoLLNaR)

It dealt with six controversial issues regarding national governance, being: the system of government, the relationship between the executive and the legislative powers, the independence of the judiciary, the suitability of democracy in present-day Libya, the role of political parties, and the participation of Islamists in the political process. These controversial issues were reviewed by looking at the positions taken on these issues, and by reviewing the legislative responses. From there an assessment of the responses was made based on their suitability for national reconciliation.
