In news from Libya, NATO said Thursday it will end its Libya operations at the end of the month following a decision by the U.N. Security Council to cancel its mandate covering the seven-month-old NATO military mission. At the United Nations, U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice urged the new Libyan leaders to incorporate all aspects of Libyan society in the new government.

Ambassador Susan Rice: “We have the prospect for a free and inclusive Libya in which the aspirations of the Libyan people can finally be realized in the wake of the transition that’s underway. We’re very concerned that, as we move forward, that the authorities make maximum effort to swiftly form an inclusive government that incorporates all aspects of Libyan society and in which the rights of all Libyan people are fully and thoroughly respected, regardless of their gender, their religion, their region of origin, etc.”
