The National Transitional Council (Arabic: ?????? ?????? ?????????, al-majlis al-waTani al-intiqali) is a body formed by Anti-Gaddafi forces during the 2011 Libyan civil war. Its formation was announced in the city of Benghazi on 27 February 2011 and its intended purpose is to act as the "political face of the revolution". In some media outlets, it is referred to as the National Libyan Council or the Libyan National Council. On 5 March 2011, the council issued a statement in which it declared itself to be the "sole representative all over Libya". The council formed an interim governing body on 23 March 2011. As of 5 September 2011, 79 countries declared full support to the council by severing all relations with Gaddafi's rule and recognizing the National Transitional Council as the rightful representative of Libya.
Political parties were banned in Libya from 1972 until the collapse of the Gaddafi regime, and all elections were nonpartisan under law. However, during the 2011 revolution, the NTC has made the introduction of multiparty democracy a cornerstone of its agenda. In June 2011, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi said his father would agree to internationally monitored general elections, and would step down if he lost them, but his offer was refused by the rebels.
The NTC has said that it will organize elections by mid-2012. As of now, three political parties have been announced: the Democratic Party of Libya, the New Libya Party and the Libyan Socialist Movement.
The Transitional National Council has pledged to honour Libya's international commitments until the 2012 elections.
Libya is a member of ABEDA, AfDB, AFESD, AL, AMF, AMU, AU, CAEU, ECA, FAO, G-77, IAEA, IBRD, ICAO, IDA, IDB, IFAD, IFC, IFRCS, ILO, IMF, IMO, Inmarsat, Intelsat, Interpol, IOC, ISO, ITU, MONUC, NAM, OAPEC, OIC, OPEC, PCA, UN, UNCTAD, UNESCO, UNHRC (suspended), UNIDO, UPU, WCO, WFTU, WHO, WIPO, WMO, WToO and UNHABITAT.
After originally rising to power through a military coup d'etat in 1969, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's governance of Libya became increasingly centric on the teachings of his Green Book, which he published in the mid-1970s chapter by chapter as a foundation for a new form of government. This jamahiriya, as he called it, was supposedly a form of direct democracy in which power was balanced between a General People's Congress, consisting of 2,700 representatives of Basic People's Congresses, and an executive General People's Committee, headed by a General Secretary, who reported to the Prime Minister and the President. However, Gaddafi retained virtually all power, continuing to operate and control vestiges of the military junta put in place in 1969. Under Gaddafi's rule, including during the jamahiriya period from 1977 to 2011, Libya was widely recognised as a non-free country.
Interpol on 4 March 2011 issued a security alert concerning the "possible movement of dangerous individuals and assets" based on United Nations Security Council Resolution 1970, which imposed a travel ban and asset freeze. The warning lists Gaddafi himself and 15 key members of his regime: The NTC has been in negotiations with Algeria and Niger, neighboring countries to which members of the regime and defecting military commanders have fled, attempting to secure the arrest and extradition of Saadi Gaddafi and others. Of these officials, Abdulqader Mohammed Al-Baghdadi and Abu Zayd Umar Dorda were arrested, while Saif al-Arab Gaddafi was killed by a NATO airstrike during the war and Khamis Gaddafi was claimed by the NTC to have been confirmed dead as well.
