The Role of UN in Libya Crisis (2011)

Following the development and the popular uprisings in Libya in early February 2011, and persecuting by government forces and the use of heavy weapons against protesters, the situation of Libya changed from an internal repression into a deep crisis. This has caused the United Nations, along with other regional and international organizations like the Arab League, Europe League, the African Union and the Organization of the Islamic Conference to try to resolve the crisis. The organization primarily through preventive measures and recommendations for frequent resolution 1970 imposed financial sanctions and weapons and seek to resolve the crisis and finally following the Resolution 1973 and the deployment of NATO forces and some other members of the United Nations, by the united defender force put an end to this crisis. The UN operation, the presence of NATO and its consequences have been investigated but less attention has been paid to theother parts of the UN in Libya, and more attention has been paid to the Security Council. If the council is a very influential element, it is only one of the pillars of the United Nation; therefore, the purpose of the present paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of how the UN functions in Libyan crisis. The possible answers to this question will be introduced throughout the paper and we try to prove that the UN had originally tried to minimize the mortality and then goes onto defend civilians to military intervention.
