What solution to the crisis Libya?

Eventually the United Nations Security Council failed to adopt a resolution, No. 1973, 2011, which aims to provide a solution to the crisis in Libya. Moving in the wake of the previous Resolution 1970, the new resolution will strengthen certain mechanisms to inhibit the use of armed violence by the Gaddafi regime, such as the arms embargo, asset freeze and travel ban against certain people.

There are two important innovations: the measures to ensure the protection of civilians and the no-fly zone. The Security Council authorized Member States to take "all necessary measures" to protect civilians and areas inhabited by them, with the exception of the military, but instead include the supply of weapons to the insurgents, as shown by reference paragraph 9 of Resolution 1970.
