United Nations. .- France and Britain submitted a draft resolution to Security Council UN to declare an exclusion zone area in Libya, although Russia still has doubts about how it would carry out the measure, diplomats said today. That was the outcome of the meeting that the fifteen members of the highest international security held today to consider the request that took him last weekend that the Arab League imposed an air exclusion zone in Libya.
"There are legitimate concerns, we started the debate and now the coalition of countries that encourage fly zone must submit a document to the Council," he said upon leaving the meeting the French ambassador to the UN, Gérard Araud, who said no when to submit the text. The French representative stressed that no country rejected "flat" at the meeting the idea of \u200b\u200bdeclaring the no-fly zone, although some expressed "concerns and had questions." "I think we're making progress, but the problem we have is the urgency.
As you know, the forces of (Libyan leader Muammar) Gaddafi advance, so we would prefer to act soon," he stressed. Araud said he did not understand the doubts raised by Russia at the meeting about who and how to maintain the no-fly zone, and noted that the resolution that imposed the same as in Bosnia does not specify such details.
"This Council is not a military, its function is to provide policy approval. Then countries can cooperate to enforce it," he added. Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin, insisted that his country needs more details about the implementation of the no-fly zone to take "a responsible decision." "You have to answer some fundamental questions: not only what to do, but how you will.
If there is a no-fly zone, by whom and how you will implement," said the representative of Russia. Churkin said his country has "an open mind," but reiterated that the answer to the "concerns" before the Council takes a decision. "We must ensure that they do not exacerbate the situation, since the ultimate goal is to end the bloodshed," he added.
For its part, Libya's ambassador to the UN, Abdel Rahman Shalgam called on other countries, particularly to Italy, to join the Franco-British efforts to assist the civilian population of their country. "Italy must assume the position of France, Britain and others. Lighter, stronger and more advanced," he added.
The Foreign Ministers expressed the Arab League on Saturday, at an extraordinary meeting in Cairo to support the imposition of a no-fly zone in Libya and Libyan recognized the rebel command as a partner. Its secretary general, Amr Moussa, said the organization asked the Security Council UN imposition of the fly in Libya "as a preventive measure, not military." The final communiqué of the meeting requested the Security Council to assume "their responsibility to the deteriorating situation in Libya" and take "sufficient steps to immediately impose an exclusion zone to the Libyan aviation." It also requested "to establish safe zones in areas exposed to the bombing as a preventive measure that allows protecting the Libyan people and foreign residents of different nationalities."
