NATO Allies have now decided to enforce the no-fly zone over Libya.
We are taking action as part of the broad international effort to protect civilians against the attacks by the Gaddafi
regime. We will cooperate with our partners in the region and welcome their contributions.
All NATO Allies are committed to fulfill their obligations under the UN resolution. That is why we have decided to
assume responsibility for the no-fly zone.
SCOOP EDITOR'S NOTE: Yesterday, NATO confirmed its warships and aircraft had started patrolling the approaches to
Libya’s coast as part of Operation Unified Protector. Their mission is said to enforce the arms embargo called for in UN
Security Council Resolution 1973.
