Tripoli
Tripoli is the capital and largest city of Libya, with a history dating back to the 7th century BC when it was founded by the Phoenicians. It later became a significant part of the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and an Italian colony, which is reflected in its diverse architecture, such as the historic Medina and the Red Castle (Assai al-Hamra).
High Council of State
The High Council of State is a governmental body in Libya, established as part of the 2015 Libyan Political Agreement. It was designed to serve as an advisory and consensus-building authority for the Presidency Council, representing a broad spectrum of Libyan society and political factions during the country’s transitional period following the 2011 revolution.
Presidential Council
The Presidential Council is a governmental body that typically serves as a collective head of state, often established in countries transitioning from conflict or seeking shared executive power. Its history is most notably associated with Libya, where it was formed as part of a UN-backed peace agreement in 2015 to lead a Government of National Accord.
House of Representatives
The House of Representatives is the lower chamber of the United States Congress, established by the Constitution in 1789. It is composed of representatives elected from congressional districts, with representation based on state population, and holds primary responsibility for initiating revenue bills.
Libyan Political Agreement
The Libyan Political Agreement, signed in Skhirat, Morocco in December 2015, is a United Nations-brokered peace deal aimed at ending the country’s civil conflict. It established the internationally recognized Government of National Accord (GNA) as the sole legitimate executive authority, though its implementation has been challenged by rival factions and governments.
