The international operations in Libya are now into a second week - under US command and control. However, the US has insisted that its leadership role be temporary and has pushed for transferring command of the operation to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, NATO. But there have been arguments among NATO members as to exactly what the nature of the operations should be. Turkey and Germany, in particular, are insisting that NATO should only accept responsibility for the maintenance of a no-fly zone, arguing that military action beyond this objective is not mandated by the UN resolution. Are two centres of command and control viable? Is this division in responsibility a reflection of differences about exactly what is mandated by the UN Security Council resolution on Libya?

www.google.com www.guardian.co.uk www.nytimes.com rt.com Foreign forces need Serbias apology to justify intervention - Balkans expert 30 March, 2010, 19:36 Serbia's Parliament is debating whether to apologize to Bosnian Muslims over the massacre of eight thousand men and boys in Srebrenica in 1995. Nationalists have rejected the draft resolution, saying it should also mention Serb victims of the nineties conflict. Misha Gavrilovic, a Balkans expert who's been following events in the former Yugoslavia for 20 years thinks there is external pressure coming from the EU from the tribunal in The Hague and also from the US for Serbia to declare itself guilty in some way. There has been a massive intervention there, the expert said. It needs some excuse to justify its intervention. One simple way is to declare someone a criminal and then say our intervention has been justified.

The Arab League has voted to suspend Syria from all meetings until Damascus ends its bloody crackdown against anti-government protesters. Eighteen countries supported the move while Lebanon, Yemen and Syria voted against it and Iraq abstained. The suspension will come into effect on November 16, according to the Qatari Foreign Minister, Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim. The vote came during an emergency session to discuss Syria's failure to end a bloody government crackdown on opposition protests. Qatar's foreign minister has called on the Syrian army to stop the violence against civilians. In turn, Syria's representative to the Arab League, Youssef Ahmed, said the decision to suspend Damascus violated the organization's charter and showed it was "serving a Western and American agenda," reports Reuters. Ahmed told Syrian state television that the move to suspend Syria would only have been valid if taken by consensus at a summit meeting of Arab leaders, whereas it was in fact opposed by two delegates at the Arab League meeting. The League has also warned Syria that it could face sanctions if it fails to end the violence. However, Bin Jassim stressed that "no-one is talking about a no-fly zone -- people are trying to mix up the cases. None of us is talking about this kind of decision." In February, the LAS suspended Libya's membership and went on to propose the enforcement of a no-fly zone over the country. Michel Chossudovsky, the Director of the Centre for Research on <b>...</b>

The Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi is promising more violence if US or NATO forces dare to intervene, while the US is preparing for a humanitarian mission in Libya and the UK has already started one. Annie Machon, a former British intelligence officer now living in Germany, says that all humanitarian aid is just an excuse for "a large-scale invasion." She added that foreign intervention into Libya will be a tragedy for the Libyan people. RT on Facebook: www.facebook.com RT on Twitter: twitter.com

The International Criminal Court is due to receive a suit against NATO over the killing of Libyan ex-leader Muammar Gaddafi. But the Gaddafi family's chances of finding justice in The Hague are all too slim, says journalist James Corbett. In their suit, which cites the "deliberate killing" of a person protected by the Geneva Convention, Gaddafi's family will target NATO's executive bodies and the leaders of its member states, their lawyer, Marcel Ceccaldi, said on Wednesday. "NATO helicopters opened fire on [Gaddafi's] convoy," the lawyer told Agence France Presse. "This convoy did not pose any threat to civilians. It was an operation to eliminate the Libyan leader, planned by the North Atlantic alliance." This would be enough to qualify the incident as "a war crime by Article 8 of the ICC's Rome Statute," said Ceccaldi, who previously worked for Gaddafi's regime and now represents his family. The exact date the complaint will be filed has yet to be announced. The chances of Gaddafi's family succeeding with their law suit can be regarded as "slim to none," independent journalist James Corbett told RT. "I think the International Criminal Court is just an extension of NATO powers' foreign policy," he said, questioning the ICC's entire role in the Libyan conflict. In June, the Criminal Court in The Hague issued arrest warrants for Muammar Gaddafi, his son Saif al-Islam and the former regime's intelligence chief, Abdullah al-Senussi.

The NATO intervention in Bosnia consisted of a series of actions undertaken by NATO to establish and then preserve peace during and after the Bosnian War. NATO's intervention began as largely political and symbolic, but gradually increased to include large-scale air operations and the deployment of approximately 60000 soldiers under Operation Joint Endeavor. The NATO bombing of Yugoslavia (code-name Operation Allied Force or, by the United States, Operation Noble Anvil) was NATO's military operation consisting of 11 states against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War.

War on Libya The Immense Criminal Enterprise Known as "Responsibility to Protect." Meet Dr. Sliman Bouchuiguir, the man behind the verified pack of lies used to justify NATO's intervention in Libya. This amazing piece of investigative journalism reveals not only how tenuous these fabrications were, but have produced Bouchuiguir himself admitting flagrantly that the allegations he made were contrived, baseless, unconfirmed, and designed specifically to give the necessary requirements for NATO's intervention. Furthermore, Bouchuiguir reveals his ties to both the Libyan rebel "National Transitional Council," particularly NTC Prime Minister Mahmoud Jabril (also spelled "Gibril") whom he cites as a source for his allegations, and the US government-funded International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH). These associations paint a dark picture of the depths of depravity from which this war was prosecuted from. This is the justification for a "humanitarian war" where self-serving foreign interests masquerading as "international institutions" arrange for a disgruntled opposition vying for power whom they are supporting, funding, arming, and whose leaders they are harboring, to manage the perception of a given conflict to provide a predictably slanted pretext for "international intervention."

Outside forces are trying to destabilize Syria by funding and supporting an armed insurrection which does not represent the majority of Syrian society, says Michel Chossudovsky from the Centre for Research on Globalization. He drew a difference between the opposition within Syrian civil society and the insurgency, which is largely funded by Islamists. Members of Russia's upper house of Parliament on a fact-finding mission to Syria, including talks with President Bashar Assad, and Chossudovsky hopes the visit will help clarify matters and lead to a targeting of those countries sponsoring the insurrection. "This insurgency is there to destabilize and create a pretext for responsibility to protect NATO intervention in Syria," he claimed. In the wake of the Russian delegation's mission, he stressed, there is a need for investigation into the causes and consequences of the insurrection. "We have information that NATO headquarters in Brussels and the Turkish High Command are in fact drawing up plans for the first military step into Syria," Chossudovsky said. "And we also know that NATO is in fact recruiting mujahedeen and jihadists to assist them in their campaign in these various countries." He believes that any military intervention in Syria would immediately lead to regional escalation involving Israel, Lebanon and even Iran. Originally aired on RT, September 19, 2011 rt.com

The EU imposes an oil embargo on Syria, freezing almost all business between Damascus and the EU, Syria's main trading partner. Russia however has harshly criticized the move. A statement made on Friday said the ban covers purchase, import and transport of oil and other petroleum products from Syria amid continuing violence in the country. The EU also prohibited financial or insurance services involved in such transactions. The embargo will take effect immediately as details of the sanctions are published in the official EU newspaper. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has condemned sanctions imposed on Syria by the European Union, including a proposed oil embargo. "We have always said that no good will come out of unilateral sanctions. This destroys a partner-like approach toward any crisis," Lavrov said on Saturday. "We are against unilateral sanctions." The decision will halt more than US $4.2 billion a year in Syrian crude oil and petroleum products being exported to Europe. The decision was made during a non-formal meeting of MFA heads of 27 EU countries that took place in the Polish city of Sopot. The embargo was earlier approved by heads of the Permanent Mission of the EU countries in Brussels. "This is trying to hit the oil that's a critical financial lifeline to the regime," an EU official was quoted as saying. Four more Syrian individuals and three entities were added to the list of those targeted by an EU asset freeze and travel ban. On August 24, an EU <b>...</b>

There was no immediate comment from Libyan officials on what had been hit, but state TV was still on the air in Tripoli on Saturday morning. NATO said the air strikes aimed to degrade Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's "use of satellite television as a means to intimidate the Libyan people and incite acts of violence against them". The attempt to silence the government's TV broadcasts comes at a sensitive time for the rebels, who appeared to be in disarray after the mysterious death of their chief military commander.

NATO's presence in Libya little resembles a humanitarian mission with houses, hospitals and schools being hit. But Libya prospered prior to NATO's intrusion, Yvonne Di Vito, an activist from Libyanfriends.com told RT. RT: You have been saying that here in Italy the news reports abut what is happening in Libya were very confusing, a lot of conflicting information there. Can you tell us what you saw and what you found? Yvonne Di Vito: We went to Libya on the 28th July and we came back on the 7th August and we found a totally different situation because NATO was bombarding civilians. The bombings were not only carried out on military targets, but they also hit houses, hospitals, schools, television centers, and this was totally against the humanitarian reasons they said they were there for. I believe they were doing this to bring panic in the city. That's why they were bombing the things that people use daily, like places with food and essential utilities like hospitals. This was also a difficult period for Muslims because of Ramadan and that is why in the daytime they're in their houses.
