23: Special Episode! Looking for Justice: Inside the LPDF
Show Notes

When is a peace process a success? What role do human rights, justice and due process play? Is it ever ok to sacrifice those for political expediency? What part should civil society organisations play? 

In this special episode, Elham Saudi takes the hot seat and talks to Tarek Megerisi, Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, and co-host Marwa Mohamed, about her experience and the challenges she faced as one of the 75 members of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) tasked with getting Libya to a sustainable peace and an elected government in December 2021.

[correction] Around 9 minutes in, Elham says that the LPDF started meeting in early 2019, when in fact it started meeting in 2020.
