Washington. .- The U.S. president, Barack Obama, said the "bloodbath" and "suffering" in Libya "unacceptable" and must end immediately. The president, in a statement in the lobby of the White House the first to do about the situation in Libya, said it has instructed its advisors to prepare all the options to deal with the situation in the North African country.
In this sense, also the Foreign Minister of the United Kingdom has asked the Hague to the international community to increase pressure on the Libyan government. These options, he said, include both unilateral measures as those taken in coordination with other international partners. In this regard, he added, has directed the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, who moves to Geneva (Switzerland) on Monday to attend the foreign ministers' talks on violence in Libya.
In addition, another envoy to visit U.S. allies in Europe for consultations on the crisis and consider the "full range of options." In a situation "as volatile as this," he added, it is imperative that "countries around the world speak with one voice." The national security team at the White House, he added, has worked "24 hours a day" to address the crisis in Libya, where Muammar Gaddafi regime begins to crumble after losing control of the east of the country, while increases the number of deaths by government repression of the riots.
The Libyan government attacks against its population, he said, "violates not only laws, but the sense of common decency." In his statement, Obama said his Government's support for human rights such as freedom of expression, which held that "are not negotiable" and "must be respected in every country." The Libyan Government said, will be held accountable for their failure to meet international standards.
"This is not simply a concern of ours. The whole world is outstanding," said the American president. The International Federation of Human Rights (FIDH) today raised the death toll to 640 in Libya, more than double the officially recognized, although the Libyan representative at the International Criminal Court (ICC) Sayed al Shanuka was speaking from Paris more than 10,000.
