London. .- British Prime Minister, David Cameron, said today in Parliament that the international military action in Libya, has avoided a "massacre" in Benghazi, the city where rebel provisional government. In an appearance in the House of Commons, Cameron said he "has made good progress" in the two initial objectives it has set the international coalition to implement resolution 1973 adopted last week by the Security Council of the UN.
"The first was to remove the Libyan air defenses and allow the safe application of an air exclusion zone. The second was to protect civilians from attack by the regime (Muammar) Gaddafi. It has made good progress on both fronts," said . British Prime Minister stated in his testimony that "Coalition forces have largely neutralized the Libyan air defenses, and the result is that the air exclusion zone has been established effectively on Libya." "It is also clear that coalition forces have helped avoid what could have been a bloody massacre in Benghazi.
From my point of view, is what they have done just in time" he said. Cameron stressed that the military operation "is not an invasion" and gave assurances to the British people that "there is no occupation of Libya," because the UN resolution does not authorize it. The British leader rejected comparisons with the Iraq war, supported by the previous Labour government led by Tony Blair, recalling that that conflict was not "not supported by United Nations or the Arab nations." Before Cameron's parliamentary hearing, the Government published a legal study commissioned in recent days to the Attorney General, Dominic Grieve, according to which the deployment of British armed forces in the Mediterranean has a "clear and unambiguous basis" under of the United Nations Charter.
The study indicates that resolution 1973 was adopted under the umbrella of Chapter VII of the UN Charter of 1945, relating to acts of aggression and maintaining peace and the possibility of "using forces by air, sea and land as necessary to maintain or restore international peace. " "The Attorney General has been consulted and the Government is satisfied that this authorization under Chapter VII to use all necessary measures provides a clear and unambiguous legal basis for the deployment of military forces and assets in the UK to achieve objectives of the resolution, "he says.
Cameron presented to the House of Commons motion supporting a military intervention, to be approved without problems because it has the backing of the opposition Labor Party. Its leader, Ed Miliband, expressed his support for the government and the armed operation, because in his opinion it is "a just cause and a viable mission, which has international support." Miliband compared the situation of the Libyan opposition forces of the Second Spanish Republic when the government sought help from the British Government to deal with the aggression of General Francisco Franco's coup and failed.
"In the consciousness of the world you'd be grossed out that we could do something for the people of Libya and we did not do," he said.
