It was a big mistake on the UN's part to take one side in the internal conflict in the country. Elections took place in June 2012, but reconciliation as a basis for a future Libya was forgotten. In December 2015, UNSMIL led negotiations producing the Libyan Political Agreement and creating the Government of National Accord (GNA). Even worse, last November, UNSMIL created yet another new unconstitutional and unelected body called the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF). Furthermore, the LPDF has the power to name the prime minister and presidential council for Libya, which it did on 5 February.
