New York .- The U.S. ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, said Thursday before the Security Council that troops loyal to the Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, ever more committed sexual assault through the consumption of Viagra, as reported diplomatic sources. However, failed to provide any evidence to support this information.
The ambassador added that senior officers provide sexual stimulant Viagra-a-soldiers to rape women. Specifically, he cited reports that Libyan forces accused of firing at mosques and reaching children, and "deliver Viagra among its soldiers, thereby leaving and violence," said a diplomat present at the meeting.
The Security Council diplomats that the legacy tinged no evidence to show this information appeared Monday in the tabloid 'Daily Mail'. This media quoted Michael Mahrt UK, Save The Children, who spoke of many testimonies of sexual assaults on minors, although they had not been confirmed.
Abdelbaset Abumzirig rebel spokesman, posted Misrata, adding that soldiers had been ordered Gaddafi of violations. "Rice put it in the meeting but no one answered," said one diplomat quoted by Reuters on condition of anonymity. With this data, Rice tried to justify the position which maintains the international mission in the conflict.
Earlier, representatives of some Council members had criticized the coalition practice is aligned with the rebel forces, reports the weekly 'Foreign Policy'. Several countries led by China and Russia contend that NATO has exceeded its functions, which has become an active part of the race.
Rice, meanwhile, considered it "ridiculous" Libyan define the conflict as a civil war and try to compare ordinary morally Gaddafi forces with the rebels. The legacy recalled that opponents took up arms only when government troops opened fire on peaceful demonstrators. Sexual Violence Human Rights Advocates say the suspect began last month, when a doctor in the city of Ajdabiya, Refadi Suleiman, said in an interview to Al Jazeera that Gaddafi's forces had received packages of Viagra and condoms as part of a campaign of sexual violence.
"I've seen Viagra, condoms have seen," said the doctor. The NGO Human Rights Watch (HRW) had previously interviewed Refadi, and determined that it does not have any direct evidence with which to support their contributions. In addition, the staff of the organization was not able to identify victims and witnesses to confirm this point, although they do not have evidence to dismiss it.
Fred Abrahams, a special adviser to HRW, says the NGO takes seriously allegations of sexual assault are being investigated "actively." "We have a few credible cases of domestic violence and rape, but right now there is no evidence to suggest that they are of systematic or official policy.
We have nothing on the distribution of Viagra and condoms. It is not discarded, but not We have nothing, "he clarified Abrahams. Earlier this month, the UN special representative on sexual violence in armed conflict, Margot Wallstrom, criticized the Security Council did not mention this kind of crime in their last two resolutions aimed at Libya, despite being a priority.
Wallstrom admitted that the suspicions in this regard have not been confirmed, but cited the notorious case of Eman to Obaidi, the woman who in March broke into one of the hotels in Tripoli which holds the international press to report that there been raped by pro-government militia.
