The u.n. backed government of national accord and the death of democracy in Libya

The as called Government of National Accord is an emergency government proposed in 2012 to take over legislation in Libya. The General National Congress was the first party to be elected by popular vote in the aftermath of the Libyan civil war and the killing of Muammar Gadaffi and his son. Two years on, according to the u.n. they were not making any progress on their constitution. Another election was engineered and they were replaced by the as called House of Representatives although turnout was down 50%. Reason not fully understood.
A h.o.r. proposed cabinet was not recognised by Libyan courts, who also ruled that the 2014 elections were unconstitutional. There was reportedly no voting in some areas due to security issues. The General National Congress was restored but was not recognised by the h.o.r., who in October 2014 minus popular vote, elected to extend its own term. According to documentation there has been no elections in Libya since. Current news of blockades on key oil ports by supporters of Haftar may indicate the u.n.’s real criteria in Libya.
