Summary NATO's military action in Libya goes beyond the mandate of the UN, Russia's foreign minister said.
Russias foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said that NATOs military action in Libya exceeded the mandate authorised by the United Nations. He called for an urgent shift to a political settlement in the country.“Today, we can see actions that in a number of cases go beyond the mandate of the UN Security Council,” Sergei Lavrov said after talks with NATO foreign ministers in Berlin.“We believe it is important to urgently transfer things into the political course and proceed with a political and diplomatic settlement,” he said.Lavrov added, “We should have an immediate ceasefire and bring the warring parties to the negotiating table so they can agree on the structure of their own country.”
