UN Security Council Imposes Sanctions Against Libya’s Qaddafi
This article is for subscribers only.
The United Nations Security Council voted 15-0 to freeze the foreign assets of Libya’s Muammar Qaddafi and four aides and to bar them from traveling, in the broadest international effort to halt his regime’s attacks on protesters.
The resolution also imposes an arms embargo on Libya and calls for an immediate end to violence that it says “may amount to crimes against humanity.” The measure sends the allegations to the International Criminal Court in The Hague for investigation and possible prosecution.
