UN sanctions Libya

2011-02-28

[Maghrebia] The UN Security Council (UNSC) on Saturday (February 26th) imposed sanctions on the Libyan regime. The council banned travel by Libyan leader Moamer Qadaffy and 15 of his family members and close associates.

"Stay in Libya and be killed!"

The UNSC also froze their assets. Noting that some 1,000 people have been killed since the Libya festivities began, the council recommended that the International Criminal Court investigate the regime for crimes against humanity.

#4 Does this mean Libya can't sit on the UN Human Rights Council any more? That would be a pity what with the HRC just about to issue a report saying Libya is a great place to live and MoDaffy is a really swell guy. Most unfortunate timing.

There's also the argument being made that the terrorists (Al Qaeda and the Iranian gov't) are being left behind, as the current uprisings are generally popular and peaceful movements (at this time). Even in Libya, they'd rather not fight, but they will if the have to.

By that same token, I think Iran would LIKE its shadow to be long, but methinks they got shadow envy.
