As for the capital, Tripoli, and the west, is run by the Government of National Accord headed by Fayez Al-Sarraj. International and regional parties tried to intervene, and The intervention of the United Nations was decisive, which gave the crisis another dimension. In this study, we will discuss the extent of the role of the United Nations in resolving the conflict and what programs it used by discussing the United Nations mission in Libya.
