The European Union adopted sanctions against Gaddafi and 25 other members of his regime: asset freeze, arms embargo and ban on entry into the EU. The decision, not a little painful but eventually be taken unanimously, comes after a meeting of the European Union in Brussels which implements the resolution on Libya in the UN Security Council last Saturday, providing measures even more restrictive government responsible for the repression in Libya.
The list of people who will suffer the freezing of assets and a ban on entry into the EU increased from, respectively, 6 and 16 names for 25 and 25 (5 officers and 20 family members of Gaddafi faithful). Just the freezing of assets in Europe still trying to Gaddafi - revealed by The Times - to circumvent the freezing of his bank accounts in the United States decided to Obama, transferring 3 billion pounds in London.
The EU Council extends the stop arms sales to "all the tools that could help the prosecution, asking once again for an immediate end to the use of force" and "commitment to meet the legitimate demands and aspirations of the Libyan population through dialogue. " The decision, unanimously approved by the ministers of telecommunications, transport and energy meeting in Brussels this morning, was received with great satisfaction by Catherine Ashton, EU High Representative for Foreign Policy, the Human Rights Council in Geneva.
The Ashton, in addition to agreement with Libya since the suspension of UN Security Council, were in favor of bringing Gaddafi before the Court in The Hague for crimes against humanity. "But we should not limit to Libya when we talk about ensuring human rights. Recently I have been visiting many Mediterranean countries where people are struggling for their rights and to say just go to the old way of doing things.
" Those of the Ashton words almost unexpected, especially after the EU impasse in the first days following the fighting in Cyrenaica. Questioned about a possible military intervention in the country, the High Representative has been denied: "I do not think there is no current discussion on military action in Libya." Concepts close to those of Anders Fogh Rasmussen, NATO Secretary General, who on Friday had also denied the possibility of a "no-fly" zone.
"Such a decision (in force currently in Iraq, ed) would require a very clear international legitimacy and a mandate of the UN special '." Pending further action, the sanctions decided in Brussels should come into force immediately.
