Libya and the Political Isolation Law

Now that Syria occupies the front news almost every day we seem to have forgotten about Libya, a country still trying to overcome a terrible civil war.

Only a few months ago, the fifth of June, the Political Isolation Law came into force. This legislation received harsh critics from both "sides" of the conflict.
     This law states certain measures to avoid that individuals belonging to Gaddafi's regime occupy public positions in the country. We could agree on the fact that in order to change and overcome the last four decades of regime, a change is needed, and Libyan institutions need to be leaded by personnel willing to change the country and to cooperate in a transtition towards a solid democracy. And that is the core of the argument held by its supporters.

    From now on any individual related to Gadaffi's regime (at any momment during the four decades) , or national law-enforcement officials, or military and police officers for instance will be banned from belonging to the new Lybian institution for the next 10 years.
And how do they assess whether a person had collaborated with Gadaffi's regimes? The criteria stipulated by the law are pretty vague and can lead to unjustifiable discriminations, some of the criteria were simply having done business with a member of his family or for instance not having supported the 17th of February revolution.

Another criticized part was the provision that allows the armed militias to use force in order to influence tha lawmaking process. But if an interim parliament's main function is being able to establish a constituent assembly to draft the new Lybian constitution; why should the army need to coerce it? . If in this case the militar forces needed to pressure the transitional assembly to pass the law, that means that population's opinions and desires are not being reflected in the legislation approved in the country.

More than a pacific transtitional law designed for lead the country to prosperity and democracy as soon as possible, it seems to be a text coated by fear and rancor, that will make it more difficult for Liby
an institutions to develop and work for a better future, since they will lack from Lybian professionals who have been working there for years, who have created and designed this institutions, and that will be removed from their positions following vague and imprecise criteria.
