The Civil Society Commission announces the end of the phase of listening to the opinions of civil society organizations, and recording their observations and recommendations on the draft Social Responsibility Law, within the framework of promoting community participation in preparing legislation related to the work of civil society.
During the period from September 20 to November 8, 2025, civil society organizations were able to organize (11) eleven dialogue sessions, with broad participation that included dozens of organizations, in addition to a number of academics and specialists in legal aspects.
This follows a previous announcement by the Commission, in partnership with:
- The Media, Culture, and Civil Society Organizations Committee of the House of Representatives
- The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Libyan Government
This is with the aim of encouraging organizations to organize dialogue sessions that deal with the Social Responsibility Law, and its role in supporting and regulating the work of civil society organizations.
This initiative witnessed active participation from civil society organizations, following joint coordination with the Commission’s branches and offices in each of:
- Benghazi
- Tobruk
- Al Bayda
- Ajdabiya
- The Oases (Jalu – Awjila – Ajkhara)
- Murzuq
- Sebha
The dialogue sessions resulted in important outcomes represented in a number of recommendations and proposals related to the anticipated draft law, and the commission will work to collect these observations and include them in the final draft of the law.
In this context, the Civil Society Commission extends its sincere thanks and appreciation to the civil society organizations that responded to the Commission’s announcement, whether by organizing or participating in the sessions, reflecting an advanced level of awareness of the importance of issuing a law on social responsibility that meets the requirements of the current stage and contributes to the development of civil society work.
