The United Nations has cautioned that Libya stands at a "critical" juncture, with deepening political fragmentation, unaccountable management of oil revenues, and stalled elections threatening the country's long-term stability. Briefing the UN Security Council, Special Representative Hanna Serwaa Tetteh warned that parallel institutions operating outside agreed frameworks risk derailing UN-led stabilisation efforts, while national wealth is being diverted into what she called a "distorted political economy." Libya's UN ambassador called for an urgent constitutional framework to enable elections, saying citizens want to restore institutional legitimacy through the ballot box rather than continued transitional arrangements.
