Lebanon demands no-fly zone for Libya at UN Security Council Libye: le casse-tête du "gel des avoirs" Asphyxier financièrement Kadhafi, notamment pour l’empêcher de se fournir en armes et payer ses mercenaires, est plus aisé à dire qu’à faire, comme en témoignent les «gels des avoirs» à géométrie variable décidés par la communauté internationale. Eric Vernier, spécialiste des questions de blanchiment de capitaux à l’Institut de relations internationales et stratégiques, s’interroge : «On bloque quoi exactement ? Chacun a sa propre méthode et il est donc difficile d’avoir une vue précise. C’est une mesure spectaculaire mais un rien simpliste, qui risque de ne pas produire de résultats, comme en Côte-d’Ivoire où le clan Gbagbo ne semble pas très déstabilisé par le gel de ses avoirs.» Pour l’instant, la résolution 1970 du Conseil de sécurité de l’ONU, adoptée le 26 février, s’est contentée de geler les avoirs du dictateur et de cinq membres de sa famille, les Etats-Unis, pour des raisons juridiques, ne pouvant aller plus loin dans le ciblage personnel.

Libya: Barack Obama announces Gaddafi sanctions 26 February 2011Last updated at 02:10 Mr Obama said the sanctions aimed to protecting assets that belonged to the people of Libya US President Barack Obama has announced sanctions against the Libyan government, blocking transactions involving assets of Col Gaddafi and several of his close associates. Mr Obama signed an executive order freezing the assets of Colonel Gaddafi and members of his immediate family. The White House said the move aimed to pressure Libya to stop violently repressing the popular uprising there. A spokesman said it was made "in concert with international partners". "The Libyan government's continued violation of human rights, brutalization of its people, and outrageous threats have rightly drawn the strong and broad condemnation of the international community," said Mr Obama in a statement. "These sanctions therefore target the Gaddafi government, while protecting the assets that belong to the people of Libya." 'Violence or atrocities' Isolating military leaders
Libye : les insurgés suspendus à la décision du G8 Réunion préparatoire des ministres des Affaires étrangères à Paris. Les ministres des Affaires étrangères du G8 se rencontrent lundi et mardi à Paris pour se pencher, entre autres, sur la situation en Libye.

Un soutien entravé par les divergences au sein des pays du G8. Les huit pays les plus industrialisés du monde se concertent sur l’attitude à adopter face à la crise libyenne. Afin d’arrêter les massacres en Libye, le ministre français des Affaires étrangères, Alain Juppé, souhaite accélérer la mise en place d’une zone d’exclusion aérienne en Libye, selon France soir. La contre-offensive continue Pendant ce temps, sur le terrain, les forces pro-Kadhafi avancent vers Benghazi, la "capitale" des rebelles. Le sort des insurgés dépend de la communauté internationale [1] Etats-Unis, Russie, Grande-Bretagne, France, Allemagne, Italie, Canada, Japon
Libye : Kadhafi attaque l'Est, les réfugiés affluent La ville libyenne de Brega est de nouveau bombardée par les forces loyales à Mouammar Kadhafi, rapporte, vendredi matin 4 mars, la chaîne de télévision Al Arabia. La ville, terminal pétrolier situé sur le golfe de Syrte, à 800 km à l'est de Tripoli, avait déjà été la cible de bombardements aériens mercredi et jeudi. Elle contrôle la route stratégique côtière qui mène à Benghazi, épicentre de la contestation dans l'est du pays. Au 17e jour de la révolte du peuple libyen, le colonel Kadhafi a attaqué jeudi les bastions de l'Est contrôlés par les insurgés. Selon les habitants de cette ville côtière, au moins cinq personnes ont été emmenées par les forces pro-Kadhafi au cours de l'offensive appuyée par l'aviation et l'artillerie lourde et qui s'est soldée par la mort d'au moins douze personnes. Deux sources proches des insurgés et un civil interrogés par Reuters disent toutefois n'avoir entendu aucune explosion.

Libya travel guide Libya (Arabic: ليبيا Lībyā), is a country in North Africa. In the north it has a Mediterranean Sea coast, with Egypt to the east and Tunisia to the west. It also has land borders with Algeria, Chad, Niger and Sudan. More than 90% of the country is desert or semidesert. Understand[edit] History[edit] Ancient history[edit] Archaeological evidence indicates that from as early as 8,000 BC, the coastal plain of Ancient Libya was inhabited by a Neolithic people, the Berbers, who were skilled in the domestication of cattle and the cultivation of crops. Italian colonial era[edit] From 1912-1927, the territory of Libya was known as Italian North Africa. In 1934, Italy adopted the name "Libya" (used by the Greeks for all of North Africa, except Egypt) as the official name of the colony (made up of the three provinces of Cyrenaica, Tripolitania and Fezzan). Libya under Muammar al-Gaddafi (1969-2011)[edit] On 23 October the liberation of Libya was pronounced by the National Transition Council.
Al-Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights Gaddafi made an initial grant of ten million US$[2] to the Swiss-based foundation North-South XXI which later administered the prize donation. The sum of the prize money was US $250,000 (in case of several recipients the prize money was shared). The prize was given by an international committee, chaired by former President of Algeria Ahmed Ben Bella.[3][4] Gaddafi himself had no say in choosing the winner.[2] The prize was discontinued in 2011, after Gaddafi's overthrow and assassination during the Libyan civil war. Criticism of the organization includes Swiss TV's report claiming that "the Gaddafi prize for Human Rights is an instrument for propaganda for the dictator...Numerous Holocaust deniers are despots are among the prize winners",[5] while other groups have said that it promotes "anti-American and anti-Western hatred".[6] List of recipients[edit] Postage stamps issue[edit] Each horizontal strip of four stamps is dedicated to a particular subject: References[edit] External links[edit]
