The situation in Libya (debate)

blue-card answer . - Mr Arnott, I do not know whether you ever set foot in Libya. I did, and I did in the middle of the war against Gaddafi, and I saw that this was no Iraq. This was no invasion like in Iraq in 2003; this was a real people's revolution, albeit aided by an international intervention - with a UN mandate, by the way. I was there even last December and I was speaking to Libyan parties in the region, in Tunis, and I know that the people of Libya at this moment really welcome such an intervention, because they think this is the only way to have what they need, which is a reform of the state that Gaddafi simply did not have. So we have our responsibilities, and one of our responsibilities is to protect the people of Libya, to correct our mistakes, and that is why I say, together with African neighbouring countries, that we need a UN-mandated international intervention according to international law for peace and for saving people, the people of Libya.
