Security Council Backs Libya Sanctions, War Crimes Probe

HeadlineFeb 28, 2011

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is in Geneva today for a special session of the U.N. Human Rights Council on the Libya crisis. The meeting comes after the U.N. Security Council unanimously approved a measure imposing sanctions on the Gaddafi regime.

U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice: “We are pleased to have supported this entire resolution in all of its measures, including the referral to the ICC. We were happy to have the opportunity to co-sponsor this, and we think that it is a very powerful message to the leadership of Libya that this heinous killing must stop and that individuals will be held personally responsible.”
