The UN secretary general has called on the Security Council and the international community to take concrete action against the Libyan regime.
Ban Ki-moon urged the Security Council to act quickly on a proposed package of UN sanctions to force the Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi to end its violent crackdown on people, the UN News Center reported.
"It is time for the Security Council to consider concrete action," he told the council, noting, "The hours and the days ahead will be decisive for Libyans."
He said that the situation in Libya is deteriorating, adding that the people's will must prevail.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Ban said there have been reports of mercenaries attacking foreigners in Libya.
He went on to say that "clear and egregious" violations of human rights have taken place in Libya, underlining that over 1,000 people have died in the unrest so far.
The UN chief also recommended that Tripoli be suspended from the Human Rights Council.
Ban is scheduled to hold talks on the situation in Libya with US President Barack Obama on Monday.
Earlier on the day, European Union states agreed to impose an arms embargo on Libya, freeze the assets of Libyan officials and consider imposing a travel ban on members of the Tripoli regime.
Earlier on Wednesday, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said a no-fly zone may be imposed on Libya to protect the lives of protesters from the airstrikes.
Over one thousand people have been killed and more deaths are feared as Gaddafi is brutally crushing the revolt.

The UN has NO right to interfere in any conflict unless a country invades another. Even so, Moon is practicing a double standard by being silent on Egypt and vocal on Libya. He is not abiding by the UN charter. It is the business of the Libyan people to make the change they want in their own country, not the business of a puppet to US Imperial Bull Shit! The so-called, Western leaders, including Stephan Harper should shut the F&^%$ up!! Maybe it’s time to remove the UN Chief for incompetence for his ignorance towards the UN Charter he is supposed to uphold!!
ReplyDeleteIn fact, why is the Canadian government so worried about oil, maybe it’s time to supply Canadians with their own oil instead of giving 99% of it to the Americans!!! Stop importing 400k barrels of oil a day from the Middle East to supply Canadian needs when we produce over 1.3 million barrels a day here in Canada. We don’t need to import oil so why do it?!
And one other thing, Obama should shut his big fricken war mongering yap! It’s time the US stopped interfering in other Countries! Stop funding the 800 plus US Military Bases around the World at a cost of 1 trillion a year and start taking care of the people at home!! I hope the revolution spreads to the US very soon!! Then maybe we will see War crimes trials against the real terrorists, “The US and Israeli Governments”.
