Libya Booted from UNHRC

(New York City) Concurrent with reports of Libyan strongman Gaddafi being responsible for more than 1,000 dead and saying. "My people love me," there's this.

The UN General Assembly, which comprises all 192 members, agreed to bar Libya from the council, which aims to "strengthen, promote and protect human rights", on Tuesday evening in New York.

The measure was accepted "by consensus", a device used if there is no known opposition. Ban Ki-Moon, the UN Secretary General, said: "The world has spoken with one voice".

Meanwhile, discussion is ongoing regarding the U.S. and allies establishing a no-fly zone over Libya. It would require an attack on the "second-biggest Surface-to-Air Missile network in Africa — plus the remnants of the dictator’s dilapidated fighter force."

In any event, Libya has been assessed as incapable of defending against an attack.

France, Russia and China have ruled out military action against Gaddafi.
