bilby The UN Security Council today approved a no-action zone over Libya after weeks of difficult negotiations. A spokeman said it was touch and go in getting the measure approved but he was now confident that the organisation could officially do nothing with the consent of the international community. "Look, we have commitments from member states to contribute forces to take no action whatsoever, and that's very significant," he stated. "Despite accusations levelled against the organisation, this resolution on no-action speaks unequivocally." The no-action plan is to become effective immediately. "We're not just sitting on our hands," the spokeman added, "but actively wringing them while making plaintive noises. I think this sends a clear signal to the broader family of nations regarding the UN's forthright role in sensitive areas of security." Mar 16, 2011
