Long the international community has been reluctant, but in view of the heavy fighting in Libya, the UN now wants to impose sanctions against the Qaddafi regime. At the weekend there will be a resolution. The ruling clan announces an end to violence and talks with the insurgents. The EU and the U.S. have presented - now wants to impose UN sanctions against the Libyan leadership. The President of the Security Council, Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti charged, nor an agreement on Saturday with the 15-nation committee on sanctions against the regime of Muammar al-Gaddafi. The Panel was "agreed to seek a resolution in a hurry, the action against a specific target group" includes, Ribeiro Viotti, said on behalf of the 15 Council members on Friday evening in New York.


The resolution of the violence in Libya should put an end to "solve the current crisis peacefully." They also should ensure that those responsible are held accountable and "the will of the Libyan people is respected." After initial discussions on a draft resolution on which Germany had cooperated, the Security Council would meet on Saturday by 17 German clock time.

In an emergency meeting on Friday UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon had already been compressed. "It is time that the Security Council is considering concrete measures," Ban warned. In the dramatic circumstances "means wasted time higher loss of life." In an emotional appeal also asked the Libyan UN ambassador Abdul Raman Shalgham to sanctions, "to stop the bloodshed in our country." Shalgham, who had been regarded until recently as one of the closest confidants of Gaddafi was close to his speech to the UN's highest representative body, tears.

He no longer speak for Gaddafi, but only for the Libyan people, he made clear later told journalists. This performance was certainly impact on the members of the Security Council came together then to closed consultations. In the discussion there was broad agreement to adopt effective measures quickly - with the goal of halting the violence as soon as possible.

Similar to that of the EU envisaged sanctions package contains the UN resolution draft a strict arms embargo. The accounts of the Gaddafi clan eingefrn and travel bans should be imposed. The federal government prevailed with a further proposal, was reported in diplomatic circles. According to the International Criminal Court will be obliged to bring those responsible for the bloodshed in Libya to international law to justice.

U.S. sanctions against Gaddafi Ban announced that he would travel to Washington on Monday and discussed with U.S. President Barack Obama with Libya and other actions by the international community. He stressed the importance of joint sanctions: "The next hours and days will be crucial for the Libyans." Previously the U.S.

On the orders of the President to the ability of the leadership team to be eingefrn Gaddafi, including those of children of the leaders and all those involved in human rights violations.

"The government has to be of Muammar al-Gaddafi violate international rules and any decency and must be held accountable for it," Obama said. The President announced that he would coordinate closely on next steps with friendly countries and the UN. It was "steadfast on the side of the Libyan people to insist on universal rights." Gaddafi's son want to negotiate Given the international pressure and severe unrest in the country seems to react to the regime.

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, son of the Libyan leader, has announced a suspension of attacks on political opponents and talks with the insurgents. "The army decided to attack not the terrorists, giving them the opportunity for negotiations," he said late on Friday evening in Tripoli. He hoped that this Saturday to "peaceful means" is possible.

He also presented the rapid restoration of state control in areas to the east of the country in view. After days of bloody fighting opponents of the regime of Muammar al-Gaddafi, control of the towns in eastern Libya have taken over. The military had fled from the area or had joined the rebels.

"We were assured that the government will regain control of the eastern cities of the country," said Saif al-Islam Gaddafi. Again he made Islamists for the protests against the regime of his father responsible. The residents had confirmed the rebels controlled the city of Benghazi. They would have complained by telephone and over the chaotic conditions.

"Girls can not go to the streets, schools are closed and public life has come to a standstill, because, as they describe it, Islamists have taken over there by force control," said Gaddafi's son. He denied that soldiers were used against demonstrators. Eyewitnesses had reported earlier that fighters from Chad, Mali and other African states have attacked opponents of the Gaddafi regime.

The protests against the regime went further behind on Friday. In Tripoli, security forces fired on the protesters, several people were killed. In Benghazi, hundreds of thousands gathered to demonstrate against the regime. Again and again in the course of Friday it was reported that suburbs of the capital were already controlled by the rebels.

There was no confirmation that it is not. Gaddafi himself was modified less willing to compromise. The Libyan authorities showed for the first time since the outbreak of serious unrest last week in front of hundreds of public supporters. "We can defend against any attack and arm the people, if necessary," he said during his surprise appearance at the Green Square in the capital.

He called on his followers to fight and kill protesting opponents of the regime. "Retaliate against them exercise, retaliation against them!" His followers should be prepared, "the nation and to defend the oil." If necessary, he would open an arsenal and arm all Libyans.
