Peru calls for United Nations intervention in Libya

Peruvian President Alan Garcia reported Saturday that Peru has requested the United Nations and its Security Council to take an action against the serious situation in Libya, as we can not witness the repression against that people.

“Libya is led by a bloodthirsty dictatorship. We have requested, through our representative to the U.N. Security Council, to act now," he told reporters.

He recalled that early this week Peru suspended all diplomatic relations with Libya until the violence against the people ceased.

"We should not act as spectators of Libyan air force bombing raids over civilian targes," said the president who advocated the principles of democracy and freedom in Libya.
