Global Justice and Military Intervention

The UN Security Council voted unanimously to impose an arms embargo on Libya, urge member nations to freeze assets owned by the Qaddafi family, and refer the regime's violence to the International Criminal Court for possible prosecution of those responsible. But do these measures go far enough?

MELBOURNE – The world has watched in horror as Libya’s Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi uses his military to attack protesters opposed to his rule, killing hundreds or possibly thousands of unarmed civilians. Many of his own men have refused to fire on their own people, instead defecting to the rebels or flying their planes to nearby Malta, so Qaddafi has called in mercenaries from neighboring countries who are more willing to obey his orders.
