Saleh Issa Gwaider Agila

On 17 Dec 2015 Saleh stated his opposition to the Libya Political Agreement signed on 17 Dec 2015.

Agila Saleh has been the President of the Libyan House of Representatives since 5 Aug 2014.

As the President of the Council of Deputies, Saleh has obstructed and undermined the Libyan political transition, including by refusing several times to call a vote on the Government of National Accord ("GNA").

On 6 Sep 2016, Saleh paid an official visit to Niger with Abdullah al-Thani, "Prime Minister" of the non-recognised government of Tobruk, even though Resolution 2259(2015) calls for the ceasing of support to and official contact with parallel institutions which claim to represent the legitimate authority but are not parties to the Agreement.

On 23 Aug 2016, Saleh addressed a letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, in which he criticised the United Nations' support to the GNA which he described as the imposition "of a group of individuals on the Libyan people (…) in breach of the Constitution and the United Nations Charter". He criticised the adoption of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2259(2015) which endorsed the Skhirat Agreement, and he threatened to bring the United Nations, which he holds responsible for "unconditional and unjustified" support to an incomplete Presidency Council, as well as the UN Secretary-General, before the International Criminal Court for violating the UN Charter, the Libyan Constitution and the sovereignty of Libya. Those statements undermine the support for mediation by the UN and the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), as expressed by all relevant UN Security Council Resolutions, notably Resolution 2259(2015).
