24th June, 2011

NATO is committing war crimes in Libya. The rules of engagement are bound by the UN Security Council Resolutions 1970 and 1973 (2011) in which there is no mention of taking out Colonel Gaddafi, his aides or his children or grandchildren. NATO was supposed to police a no-fly zone and explain any misgivings to the international community.

TEL AVIV – The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is running low on time to make some critical decisions in Libya, if it has not already done so secretly. The current campaign is growing increasingly desperate, and is beginning to attract intolerable levels of international condemnation; it is hardly sustainable for a very long time, and if it continues at the same pace, it could take many months before Muammar Gaddafi is brought to his knees.

Talking to the Hamburg-based weekly news magazine Der Spiegel, the minister whose
country is not part of the western military alliance’s war in Libya, said NATO’s
planning of the whole mission in the North African state was short-sighted.
‘Of course, when you start something, you always have to know, how long you can sweat it out,’ de Maziere was quoted saying.

The alleged purpose of UN Security Council resolution 1973, passed this past March 17, was to seek to protect Libyan civilians from violent attacks by both sides.
