History

Under the rule of Muammar Gaddafi, Libya broke practice with almost all other countries in 1979 by renaming their embassies "People's Bureaus", with the diplomatic staff known as a local "revolutionary committee".^[1][2]

During the 2011 Libyan civil war, there were two governments claiming to be the de jure government of Libya. One was led by Gaddafi and the other was the National Transitional Council. Some countries had recognised the NTC as the governing authority of Libya and Libyan ambassadors to those countries were nominated by the NTC.

The NTC was awarded Libya's seat at the United Nations in September 2011 following a vote by the General Assembly.^[3]

Notes

1. The Libyan Embassy to the Holy See is located outside Vatican territory in Rome.
2. Although officially titled as an embassy in Valletta, its chancery and consular section are physically located in the nearby towns of Balzan and Ta' Xbiex, respectively.
3. Libya closed its embassies in Bonn and East Berlin upon the reunification of Germany in 1990, which saw the dissolution of the Democratic Republic of Germany, and a single embassy was established in Berlin.
