October
1981
In
the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
The
Libyan Constitutional Union hereby proclaims its institution in
deference to the
aspirations
of the Libyan people and the exigencies of seeking to restore constitutional
legitimacy
to the nation and to re-establish the rule of law and order.
The
Union reiterates the pledge of allegience to King Muhammad Idris al-Mahdi
Sanusi
as
historical leader of the Libyan people's struggle for independence and
national
unity
and as a symbol of legality for the nation.
It
calls upon all Libyans to rally around their monarch and under his
banner to put
an
end to the illegitimate regime now existing in Libya and to eliminate
all the
consequences
that have accrued from its usurpation of power since September 1st 1969.
The
Libyan Constitutional Union emphasizes the right of the Libyan people to
restore
justice
and thereafter to decide such form of body politic and system of
government
as
they may choose of their own free will in a referendum to be conducted
under
international
supervision within a reasonable period from the restoration of
constitutional
legality
to the nation.
