The United Nations Security Council voted to end its authorization of NATO’s military operation in Libya that resulted in the demise of Muammar Qaddafi and his regime.

The 15-member body, which approved “all necessary measures” on March 17 to protect civilians from Qaddafi’s crackdown on protests, unanimously voted today to terminate on Oct. 31 the mandate for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to bomb the North African country and enforce a no-fly zone.
