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

The Role of Law in Libya’s National Reconciliation (RoLLNaR) was a research project that ran from 2017 to 2020. It identified and assessed the role of law – both actual and potential, enabling and constraining – with regard to major challenges of reconciliation in Libya. The project was led by Dr. Suliman Ibrahim, and was divided into 7 major phases: an inception phase, five thematic research phases on respectively national identity, national governance, decentralization, security forces, and transitional justice, and a finalization phase. The project was funded by the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Tripoli and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in The Hague.
