Home U.S. World Entertainment Sports Business Health Science Technology Politics Offbeat Environment Travel Ban calls leaders of Saudi Arabia, Italy on Libya The Security Council, for the second day, was considering a resolution that recommends an arms embargo, asset freezes and travel bans for Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi and his associates. Source: AHN Reporter: L Kumar Location: New York, NY, United States Published: February 26, 2011 7:10 p.m. EST Topics: International Organization, Unrest, Conflicts And War, Politics, Civil Unrest Expressing serious concern over the use of lethal force against innocent people in Libya, the United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, on Saturday telephoned the leaders of Saudi Arabia and Italy to discuss the unfolding developments in the North African country. In a conversation with King Abdullah, Ban briefed the Saudi leader on UN efforts to quell the violence and bloodshed in Libya and to hold those responsible to account, an UN statement said. Ban underscored Saudi Arabia's key religious and political role in the region, it added. Earlier, in his call to Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi of Italy, Ban discussed the options available to handle the crisis and asked for Italy's continued support and proactive role for decisive action, the UN statement said. Ban’s outreach to world leaders came a day after he addressed the UN Security Council, urging the powerful 15-member wing of the world body to act urgently to save the lives of hundreds and thousands of people. The Security Council, for the second day, was holding an emergency meeting on Libya to consider a resolution introduced by Britain and supported by France and the United States that recommends an arms embargo, asset freezes and travel bans for Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi and his associates. The resolution also refers Gadhafi to the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity. There were reports of differences among some of the key members of the Security Council, which among others is believed to include China, on referring Gadhafi to the ICC. Diplomats were hopeful the impasse would be resolved soon. Briefing the Security Council on Friday, Ban told the body that “fundamental peace and security issues are at stake in Libya,” where more than 1,000 people have been killed as security forces and militias loyal to Gadhafi continued their deadly assault on civilian protesters. “It is time for the Security Council to consider concrete action,” Ban said. “These accounts -- from the press, from human rights groups and from civilians on the ground - raise grave concerns about the nature and scale of the conflict. They include allegations of indiscriminate killings, arbitrary arrests, shooting of peaceful demonstrators, the detention and torture of the opposition and the use of foreign mercenaries,” he said. Ban told reporters later he understood that the Security Council is very seriously considering all possible options. “But that is up to the member states of the Security Council -- to determine what course of action should be taken at this time,” he noted. The UN Secretary General, so far, has spoken twice with the Libyan leader, but now feels that he is unlikely to listen to the international community. “I am not sure, after having spoken extensively with Col. Gadhafi, whether he will yield to the calls of the international community. Of course, whenever it is necessary, I am willing to do anything to protect civilian populations and to stop the violence. But he has been trying to justify and defend his position; I have been trying to talk to all the leaders in the region and I will continue to do that,” he said in response to a question.
