The High Council of State (Arabic: المجلس الأعلى للدولة, al majlis al'aelaa lildawla) is an advisory body for Libya formed under the terms of the Libyan Political Agreement which was signed on 17 December 2015.[1] The agreement resulted from United Nations supported peace talks and has been unanimously endorsed by the Security Council.[2] The High Council of State is able to advise the interim Government of National Accord (GNA) and the House of Representatives (HoR), currently based in Tobruk, and can express a binding opinion on these bodies under certain circumstances.[3] The members of the council were nominated by remaining members of the General National Congress who in 2014 were not elected to the HoR.
