L’autore propone una prima disamina del testo della Draft Election Law che stabilisce le regole per lo svolgimento delle prime elezioni democratiche in Libia dopo la caduta del regime di Muammar Gheddafi. Le elezioni si svolgeranno a giugno 2012. Nell’ambito di queste saranno eletti i 200 membri dell’Assemblea Nazionale che avranno il compito di redigere la nuova Carta costituzionale del Paese ed indire un referendum su di essa. Il testo della legge esaminata dall’autore trascura importanti questioni come quelle della suddivisione in collegi elettorali o la creazione di partiti politici, vietati dal 1969, o ancora circa la formula elettorale da adottare. Sebbene la Libia sembri essere sulla via del progresso, diverse questioni rimangono aperte e ci si chiede se la tabella temporale che scandisce gli appuntamenti politici dei prossimi mesi possa essere realisticamente rispettata.

Abstract
The author proposes an initial examination of the text of the Draft Election Law which sets the rules for holding the first democratic elections in Libya after the fall of the regime of Muammar Gaddafi. The elections will take place in June 2012. The 200 elected members of the National Assembly will have the task of drafting the new Constitution of the country and hold a referendum on it. The text of the law, examined by the author, neglects important issues such as the division into constituencies or the creation of political parties, banned since 1969, or even the electoral formula to be adopted. Although Libya appears to be on the path of progress, many questions remain open and it is still to be seen if the time table that articulates the political events of the next few months can realistically be met.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
