"Together let's save the martyred Libyan people," said Sarkozy. Letter to the UN
Nicolas Sarkozy has just sent a letter to the member states of the UN Security Council in which he endorses the request of the Arab League « to take all necessary measures to immediately impose a no-fly zone against Libyan military aircraft " and " the preventive measures which make it possible to provide protection to Libyan populations or residents of Libya or nationals of different nationalities ". The French President knows that he is coming up against strong reluctance, particularly from China, and to a lesser extent from Russia, or even from the European co-religionist, Germany, which has adopted a singular position of permanent blockage in all institutions of which it is a member (EU, NATO, UN). And the publication of this letter is, in a way, a last-ditch attempt. "Together let's save the martyred Libyan people!" » he cries. “Time is now counted in days, even hours. The worst would be if the call of the Arab League and the decisions of the Security Council are defeated by force of arms. »
Indeed, if Gaddafi wins, Europe but also the international community would find themselves faced with an inextricable situation. Only negotiation would remain. Difficult with someone wanted by international justice for "crimes against humanity"...
