Libya: UN Mission Chief Laments Lack of Progress Towards National Renewal
Hanna Tetteh said rival power centers and parallel institutions are slowing the UN plan, while Libya’s economic deterioration and human rights concerns deepen the deadlock.
- On Wednesday, Hanna Tetteh, Special Representative for Libya, warned the Security Council that the country's political roadmap remains stalled, citing persistent divisions between rival power centers threatening national stability and elections.
- Libya remains fractured between the UN-recognized Government of National Unity and GNS, complicating implementation of the 2025 roadmap, as Tetteh stated that authorities have failed to meet goals needed to restore democratic legitimacy.

- The UNSMIL continues to advance structured dialogue initiatives focused on governance and security, which Tetteh expects to conclude by early June with a final report presented to political leaders and the public.
