Richard Griffiths has extensive international affairs and diplomatic experience and was the perfect candidate to direct our efforts in Libya.
The Libyan officials responded positively and instructions were made by the head of Libya’s National Transitional Council [Mustafa Abdul-Jalil], Prime Minister [Abdul-Raheem al-Qeeb] and relevant ministers to commence investigations through tasking Libya’s general prosecutor with the matter
Late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was a dear friend of the same Sri Lankan President whom you are meeting and this Sri Lankan President tried to prevent your initiatives against killings in Libya
It is your leadership that was instrumental in creating an International Commission of Inquiry on Libya at the UN Human Rights Council. We urge you to take the same position by supporting a Commission of Inquiry on Sri Lanka at the upcoming UN Human Rights Council session in March 2012
Obama did not consult with Congress on Libya. Why? Because he is a Muslim.
The Libya intervention, in and of itself, is therefore legal in international law in a way that the Iraq War was not. I personally believe that the UN attempt to forbid unilateral aggressive war is absolutely central to our survival on earth, and although it has had many failures, it is an ideal worth r...
The militias, which fought to unseat former leader Muammar Gaddafi, are now the biggest threat to stability in Libya, clashing regularly with each other in violent turf wars and undermining the authority of the country's new rulers.
I try to show how it's only really in the last 40 years, since Colonel Gaddafi in Libya, but more especially since the Iranian revolution in 1979 that the idea of enforcing Islamic rules through national laws has come to the fore. Before 1973, it was only Saudi Arabia which actually did that.
NATO in Libya: Is Syria next?
There is information that NATO members and some Arab states of the Persian Gulf, acting in line with the scenario seen in Libya, intend to turn the current interference with Syrian affairs into a direct military intervention.
There is no serious prospect certainly at the moment of the United Nations Security Council agreeing any resolution, let alone agreeing a resolution comparable to anything that happened in Libya
If the United States continues meddling in Egypt, Libya and the Middle East, we will quit supplying 7-11 and Motel 6 managers. If this action does not provide sufficient results, cab drivers and call center personnel will be next.
Obama didn't even consult with Congress on Libya ... That's insulting.
Africa is a country. The Taliban rule in Libya. Muslims are terrorists. Immigrants are mostly criminals, Occupy Wall Street protesters are always dirty. And women who claim to have been sexually molested should kindly keep quiet.
When the air embargo was forced over Libya, I was not the Secretary General of the Arab League at that time
After the NATO 'humanitarian help' to Libya, which was really a bloodbath, with 150,000 dead and now with Egypt, people are just now only realizing what it was from the beginning - there was no revolution there at all - it was a failure, and now people are beginning to understand this mistake.
Remembering what NATO did in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, Russia has no barriers, moral or legal ones, for the use of force in the Caspian Sea.
If things go badly in Libya… it could be something people could point to as the inability of Obama to handle Libya.
I would have to admit that I am more forgiving of the Libyan soldiers who bound my colleagues and me, beat us, and held us for six days, simply because those soldiers were completely ignorant ... They had no experience with foreign media or free press due to the repression under Moammar Gadhafi's regime...
OPEC is on standby until they get a bit more clarity on what’s happening in Libya and with Libyan exports
After toppling Muammar Gaddafi's regime, Libya's new leaders are indeed still struggling to consolidate their control over the fractured nation, however, they are working hard at building state institutions that were nonexistent or weak under Gaddafi
not good for us ... the stability we have known will change in the coming years – whether it is the US withdrawal from Iraq or Libya’s weapons cache. It’s going to be a bigger challenge for Israel. It reflects directly on our security needs.
I really only have two interests any more, anyway - Libya and Charlie Sheen. ...
