New York, February 18, 2026 (LANA) – The head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), Hanna Tetteh, warned that the politicization and division of the judiciary could harm the political process in Libya, especially given the ongoing rivalry between the Supreme Constitutional Court in Benghazi and the Supreme Court in Tripoli.

In her briefing to the UN Security Council on Wednesday, Tetteh stated that the Constitutional Court in Benghazi operates in parallel with the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court in Tripoli, resulting in competition, conflicting rulings, and judicial contradictions. She cautioned that the repercussions of these developments and contradictions threaten the unity of the judiciary and weaken the administration of justice in Libya by disrupting the last remaining mechanism for holding governments and authorities accountable. She further warned that the politicization and division of the judiciary harm the political process, elections, security, human rights, and threaten the unity of the state.

In her briefing, Tetteh referred to recent developments regarding the crisis, including the rulings issued by the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court declaring several laws passed by the House of Representatives unconstitutional, and the recent decree issued by the head of the Presidential Council, Mohammed Al-Menfi, transferring the authority to publish the Official Gazette to the Ministry of Justice in the Government of National Unity.
