U.N.: Libya in Breach of Ceasefire

HeadlineMar 25, 2011

Around 336,000 people have fled Libya since clashes erupted between rebels and Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gaddafi’s forces. The death toll is unknown but is estimated to be in the thousands. At the United Nations, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the Gaddafi regime remains in violation of international calls for a ceasefire.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: “Libyan authorities have repeatedly claimed that they have instituted a ceasefire, including in a call to me by the prime minister of Libya on 19 March. We see no evidence that is the case. To the contrary, fierce battles have continued in or around the cities of Ajdabiya, Misurata and Zintan, among others. In short, there is no evidence that Libyan authorities have taken steps to carry out their obligations under Resolutions 1970 or 1973.”
