Are the 4+4 Process's legitimacy?
The article discusses the gradual shift in the role of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya from a facilitation function to actively managing the political process. This raises legal and constitutional concerns regarding violations of sovereignty and the legitimacy of national institutions. The author explains that the mission has begun to overstep its mandate by negotiating and signing political agreements without clear approval or authorization from Libyan institutions. This redefines the outcomes of the political process and creates parallel channels outside the legal and institutional framework. Furthermore, inviting institutions to participate in signing ceremonies after the agreement has already been made without their permission does not alter their legal status and leads to a decline in their legitimacy. It also promotes the imposition of a de facto political reality and creates an exaggerated international and media narrative around the agreement, which threatens the standing of national institutions and isolates them from decision-making. The article emphasizes that this approach endangers the sovereignty of the state and suggests that legitimacy is being built gradually through pathways outside the institutions’ authority. This trajectory could ultimately lead to an undisclosed international guardianship lacking a constitutional basis, constructed through stages that involve institutions only as witnesses, thereby stripping them of real decision-making power.
