Libyan parties should move towards negotiations to solve crisis: UN official - People's Daily Online

Libyan parties should move towards negotiations to solve crisis: UN official - People's Daily Online: "'We believe that this process is crucial in our efforts to find a lasting solution to the crisis, which responds to the legitimate demands of the Libyan people and corresponds with resolutions 1970 and 1973,' Pascoe said when he was briefing the UN Security Council on the current situation in Libya.

Resolutions 1970 and 1973 were passed by the Security Council earlier this year to deal with the conflict in Libya between the government forces of longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi and rebel forces opposing his rule. Resolution 1970 placed an arms embargo and sanctions on officials of the Gaddafi government, while Resolution 1973 authorized the creation of a no-fly zone over Libya that is currently enforced by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)."
