The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) said Monday that it warmly welcomes the successful elections -as it described- of the Libyan Bar Association, held on 17 March.

In a statement published on its Facebook page, the mission stressed the crucial role of independent bar associations in promoting human rights and the rule of law.

"Independent bar associations contribute to the development of the legal profession and an independent judiciary," UNSMIL tweeted, stressing to continue to provide all necessary support for the Libyan Bar Association.
