All Necessary Measures?: The United Nations and International Intervention in Libya Martin Ian
The international intervention after the 2011 Libyan uprising against Muammar Gaddafi was initially considered a remarkable success: the UN Security Council's first application of the 'responsibility to protect' doctrine; an impending civilian massacre prevented; and an opportunity for democratic forces to lead Libya out of a forty-year dictatorship. Ian Martin gives his first-hand view of the questions raised by the international mission. But such optimism was soon dashed.Successive governments failed to establish authority over the ever-proliferating armed groups; divisions among regions and cities, Islamists and others, split the country into rival administrations and exploded into civil war; external intervention escalated.
What brought about the Security Council resolutions, including authorising military action? How Was it a justified response to the threat against civilians?
