Washington enducere tone against the Libyan regime. U.S. President Barack Obama, has called this afternoon at his French counterpart, Nicolas Sarkozy, the 'premier' David Cameron and Silvio Berlusconi to address the crisis in the Arab country, according to Al Arabiya. The leaders have demanded "an immediate cessation of the use of force", as announced the Elysee after the conversation between the president and Obama Gallo.
Obama calls expressed "deep concern" about the use of violence by the regime of Colonel Gaddafi, who said, "violates international norms and all standards of human decency," the White House said in a statement . The four leaders expressed "strong support for the universal rights of the Libyan people, including the right of peaceful assembly, freedom of expression and the ability to decide their own destiny." They all addressed the range of options to prepare the European Union and the U.S.
to make the Libyan government accountable for their actions and to provide humanitarian aid, said the White House. According to the statement from Washington, "the leaders agreed to maintain close consultations on these issues as they develop." Paris also added that his government calls for a new emergency meeting of the Security Council of the UN.
"Concrete action is needed now, especially to give immediate access to humanitarian aid and impose sanctions on those responsible for violence against the Libyan people," noted the statement from the Elysee, until now criticized for their 'apathy' to the Arab riots . According to diplomatic sources quoted by AFP, the Security Council UN to consider measures to accentuate the pressure on the Libyan colonel.
The 15 members of the Council held informal talks on Thursday the Libyan crisis and could hold an emergency meeting in the next 48 hours. So far, the UN body has issued a tepid statement (not resolution) which said "concerned about the situation in Libya" and demanded the "immediate end" of violence.
The Deputy Permanent Representative of Libya, Ibrahim Dabbashi, which has positioned itself as opposition to Qaddafi in recent days, criticized a statement that, in his view, was "not strong enough, although a good message to the Libyan regime to stop bloodshed. " "Apparently, the power in Tripoli does not take into account the Security Council's call," said the German ambassador to the UN, Peter Wittig.
"Therefore we must think seriously about going further measures," he continued. Diplomats have said that there is consensus within the Security Council on the need for further action, although the adoption of sanctions would leave the EU and the U.S.. The Twenty-seven have already decided on Wednesday to impose sanctions on Qaddafi, after the dictator's threats uttered against the protesters, who vowed to pursue "house to house if not surrender." The Libyan leader has again threatened on Thursday to the opposition, which he says are linked to Al Qaeda, in a telephone intervention delivered by Libyan television: "Take off the arms to those who speak against me.'re Crazy." "We are interested to act quickly" on Libya, as "the demand" situation "changed and dangerous" in the North African country, said White House spokesman, Jay Carney, shortly before Obama talks.
When asked about the possibility of military action, Carney said, "not rule anything out." U.S. is also considering "the possibility of imposing sanctions" against Libya to force the regime to end violence against its citizens, said the State Department spokesman, Philip Crowley. Washington also favors the expulsion of Libya's Human Rights Council of the UN, he said, a measure advocated by many western countries and Latin America but have rejected many Arab countries as well as Russia and Cuba.
More than a week after the outbreak of the riots in Libya, the U.S. president made his first appearance Wednesday to discuss the Libyan regime's repression, which branded as "outrageous and unacceptable."
