The draft UN resolution condemning the crackdown on protesters in Libya said Muammar Gaddafi directly responsible for human rights abuses, and refers explicitly to his eight children and the staff of his regime, in particular Defense Minister Bark Geeral Abu Yunis, the Armed Forces chief, Col. Massoud Abdulhafiz, and its director of Military Intelligence, Colonel Abdullah Al Senussi.
Aisha, Saif el Arab, Hannibal, Muhammad, Jamis, Mutassim, Saadi and Saif Islam Gaddafi appear next to his father's list, released by the U.S. network ABC, which lists the names of the 22 heads of repression that could have killed thousands of people across the country. This list is part of the draft submitted jointly by France and Britain, and expected a decision of the Security Council this weekend.
The proposal covers a wide range of sanctions against the Libyan regime, as the arms embargo, assets freeze and travel ban on individuals on the list, and a request to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague to investigate the possible commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity during the suppression of the revolt.
"Our hope is to adopt the resolution as soon as possible, and if possible tomorrow [by now] afternoon," he said last night at the end of the meeting of the Security Council the representative of France, Gérard Araud, who said the single point in which there are differences is the reference to The Hague, Efe reported.
Araud said that for some countries not members of the ICC "is a sensitive issue" that should be discussed with their capitals. For its part, the UK attempts to push through direct talks the prime minister, David Cameron, with leaders of other countries about the need to take "urgent action" by the EU and the UN, including a "tough sanctions package aim at the regime.
" According to London, Cameron has coincided with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Turkish, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in which the Libyan regime's actions "totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated brutality and intimidation. " The debate on the motion, which is scheduled to begin this afternoon, will not be easy and approval of these sanctions, which already began to speak on Tuesday, may still be delayed.
U.S., which last night announced a series of unilateral sanctions against Libya and multinational, will support the proposal, but it is not safe to do so China and Russia, with veto power. Once adopted, the effect of these measures will not be felt immediately and are unlikely to significantly affect developments in Libya.
It would, yes, a strong moral support to pro-democracy rebels and condemnation of the regime of Gaddafi, but the consequences would be reduced to that. "Abuse of human rights" in the text submitted by France and the United Kingdom, Muammar Gaddafi explicitly accused of being responsible for "ordering the crackdown on demonstrations" and "abuse of human rights." As far as children are concerned, all those who do not have an official position in the security structure (Aisha, Hannibal, Saif Islam, the Arab and Mohammed Saif, the last director of the National Telecommunications Company) have been also accused of "affinity with the regime," and so is Mutassim, his national security adviser.
Saif Islam is marked particularly by the "inflammatory rhetoric in favor of violence" contained in the threatening speech this week, which guaranteed that Libyan forces would fight "until the last bullet against demonstrators." As far as the rest of the children concerned, Saadi (Commander of Special Forces) and Khamis (Khamis brigade chief, hardcore special forces) are directly accused of organizing acts of repression.
According to the draft targeted killings, two cousins of Muammar Gaddafi, Ahmed Mohamed and Mohamed Sayyid Gadaf Al Dam, have been involved in operations against Libyan dissidents. Sayyid Mohamed, in particular, is allegedly responsible for "multiple murders" selective Libyan dissidents living in exile in Europe.
It is also noted as a participant in numerous arms-smuggling business. Also highlights the presence of the director of Military Intelligence and brother-Qaddafi, Colonel Al Senussi sentenced in absentia by France because of his alleged involvement in the terrorist attack in 1989 against UTA flight 772 which killed 170 people to explode the device on the Sahara desert.
The charges further recalls, "the suspicions about his possible participation" in the slaughter of the prison called Abu Selim, 1996, in which more than 1,200 political prisoners were shot dead by prison officials, after receiving direct orders from Muamar Own Gaddafi, Libyan exile groups as they say.
Other names to note are the director and the head of the Foreign Office of the Revolutionary Committees, Ashkal and Abdulqader Mohammed Omar Al Baghdadi, counter-charge of organizing the street level for Qaddafi, and the director and Deputy Director of the External Security Organization-that is, the main country's intelligence apparatus, "Abdussalam and Abu Mohamed Abdussalman Shaariya.
