This morning, France and Britain announced that it will ask the UN Security Council that Libya is also subject to the embargo of arms and financial sanctions.

Solo i cittadini degli Stati che hanno sottoscritto questo accordo possono essere perseguiti e la Libia non è tra questi Paesi per cui è difficile che vanga applicato. Il governo britannico si è detto anche pronto a congelare i beni per oltre 20 miliardi di euro di Gheddafi la cui esistenza è stata rivelata nella sua edizione odierna dal Daily Telepgraph. Anche l'Australia sta valutando l'ipotesi di adottare sanzioni contro la Libia. Nel frattempo, ha chiesto al riguardo un'inchiesta internazionale indipendente da parte the UN Human Rights Council, which meets in Geneva today.

Italy also considers that the Human Rights Council of the United Nations should initiate an investigation under the auspices of the United Nations on the serious abuse of human rights in Libya. Faced with this emergency is also growing concern for the country's chemical arsenal africnao. Libya still has about 10 tons of mustard gas or mustard gas, in their arsenals, Carilo according to Peter, an expert on non-proliferation of the Arms Control Association. In 2003, Libya giving up its programs for weapons of mass destruction, has agreed to destroy 25 tons of mustard gas and 3,300 warheads for nuclear weapons. And the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is monitoring the destruction. The entire stock of bombs was destroyed by bulldozers in 2004. The rest of the 10 tons of mustard gas had to be destroyed by the end of 2010, but Libya was granted an extension until May 15 this year. Tripoli has delayed the destruction arguing that the United States and Britain have not kept the promises made at the time of the agreement that led to the cancellation of Libya Colonel Gaddafi from the list of 'rogue states', for scientific cooperation and the construction of nuclear reactors to Libya.
