Inside Story: Time ticking for NATO in Libya
- 12 years ago
After three months of conflict and popular protest in Libya, international pressure on Muammar Gaddafi is mounting, and with increased NATO airstrikes and ICC arrest warrants now in the frame.
Chief proescutor Luis Moreno Ocampo has requested arrest warrants be issued for Colonel Gadaffi, one of his sons and Libya's spy chief. They are wanted for the killing of thousands of Libyans.
On Tuesday, Tripoli was again the target of more NATO airstrikes. But how long can NATO keep up the bombardment, with a limited mandate to operate in, and Gaddaffi showing no sign of stepping down?
Inside Story, with presenter Kamahl Santamaria, discusses with Tarik Youssef, senior research fellow at the Dubai School of Government; David Metham, UK director for Human Rights Watch and Saad Djebbar, international lawyer, and deputy director for the Centre of North African studies at Cambridge University.
