Libya torn us, but we must go on

Tripoli, good soil of love ... The destinies of Italy and those of this North African country are closely intertwined. And we are not destined to do well, whatever we say and do. Perhaps it would be better to remain silent. But silence is not always golden ... The international community is what it is.

International law, rapidly changing, definitely in danger of losing its characteristics of legal system and then only the weapons have the right to speak. The prevailing international legal paradigm, until recently, was that of the principle of nonintervention. If a country breaks out into a riot, insurrection, if the see each other and may the best win in the sense of those who strikes the most obviously by providing adequate funds to do so.

The only exception provided for in Article. 2, paragraph 7 of the UN Charter, the application of Chapter VII, but it requires the existence of a threat or breach of international peace and security. Applying this paradigm, a resolution such as 1973, providing for the delegation to the willing of the intervention to protect civilians, has undoubtedly's questionable legitimacy.

Neither convincing references to the "responsibility to protect" concept of strong vagueness said the Security Council, but no evidence in the Charter of the United Nations or other instruments of international law. Also extremely difficult to monitor application of this resolution, the lack of control mechanisms.

Once a delegation of this kind, government and military alliances do as they like and what is happening in Libya proves this. The civil war goes international and is not necessarily a good thing. Gaddafi is what it is. A scheme degenerated into authoritarianism, and in recent times, also prone to liberalization and privatization in harmony with international finance capital, which has alienated the consent of most of the population, and that he has been guilty of ruthless repression and not today.

We realize that now. Only a few months ago, the "mad dog" was received with full honors by his partner Berlusconi. Government hypocrisy and complicity, as always ineffective opposition, civil society movement and inattentive, absorbed with bawdy stories filled with the satrap Viagra. I was impressed by the intervention, the M Anifest today, Farid Adly.

Farid writes: "I live by the Libyan war as a personal defeat. My generation of Libyans failed. We have not done enough to defeat the dictatorship gheddafiana, "and continues:" For just consider the request of the No Fly Zone? ... Why was the only way for salvation of young Libyans who have created this revolution, this resistance, "but adds," is, likewise, the right of my fellow Italian pacifists opposed the intervention of Western powers.

" Then Farid also said it would be appropriate in any case Italy was out by the military. How to blame him? It's not just your generation, Farid to have failed. But even our own. Probably the rest is more or less the same. But we are still young and we can fix, no time to escape depression and private sectors.

Recognize our defeats common is the condition for moving forward. Take to the streets Saturday for saying the war stops, that the word back to the people, in Tripoli, as in Rome, as in Paris and elsewhere ... You hope to get rid of Qaddafi, but without falling from the frying pan into the fire.

And we hope to be able to get rid of Berlusconi without having to rely on NATO ...
