United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973, on the situation in Libya, is a measure that was adopted on 17 March 2011. The Security Council resolution was proposed by France, Lebanon, and the United Kingdom. Noam Chomsky has argued that the Western military intervention into Libya was a clear breach of UNSCR 1973 since it nullified the attempts for a ceasefire that were put forward by the resolution and welcomed by Gaddafi. As he puts it, "NATO powers (France and Britain in the lead and the United States following) violated the resolution, radically, and became the air force of the rebels. Nothing in the resolution justified that. It did call for "all necessary steps" to protect civilians, but there's a big difference between protecting civilians and being the air force for the rebels." Definitely sounds like an agressive war to me. UN is a kind of self-indulgence here. Makes France more dangerous if anything, if they can pull things like this one through. They'll not only mess with you but make security council's members abstain when they plan the operation.
