UN Security Council Adopts Russian Arms Control Resolution in Libya

The UN Security Council adopted the resolution proposed by Russia, which calls for preventing the accumulation in Libya. weapons, including man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS), into the hands of terrorist groups.

The fact that weapons from warehouses in Libya could get to the militants in mid-September 2011 was announced by the director of the department for new challenges and threats of the Russian Foreign Ministry Ilya Rogachev, told RIA "News". According to him, “with high probability we can say that the weapon fell into the hands of the Al Qaeda regional office. In the same case, if the terrorists managed to seize MANPADS from Libya, the militants, according to Rogachev, will be able to establish a no-fly zone over the whole of North Africa.

And on October 3 2011, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen expressed his concern over the loss of 10 thousands of ground-to-air missiles in Libya. According to the chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Admiral Giampaolo Di Paola, weapons can be anywhere - from Kenya to Afghanistan.

It seems that the UN is giving us (RUSSIA) like a handout. Here they say you-a resolution on arms control in Libya. What would at least something like you did and something "mean". And when it is necessary they do not put us into anything and do not listen. And ours are trumpeting as a victory of our diplomacy. Dumb :(

[Vadivak]

Well, yes, MANPADS have already been resold for a long time, take what you want, soon comes around in Somalia and in Egypt and Palestine

UN AUTHORITY FELL BELOW THE PLINTH. PANDOSI COMMAND THERE.

The UN has been buried many times since the Caribbean crisis, but it hasn’t been invented yet. Regarding the fact that the Americans are commanding there - it’s not quite right, the UN is a collegial body. And the five countries of the permanent members of the Security Council have a veto, including Russia. For example, Russia and China vetoed resolutions on Syria, and the Americans could not do anything here. Another question is that aAmericans command outside the UN around the world, give commands to everyone - you just don’t need to execute these commands and you don’t need to bend, how Medvedev caved in with the situation in Libya. But is the UN to blame that Medvedev has no opinion? You can learn a lot from the same Americans - to go ahead to your goal and not pay attention to anyone's screams - this is what Russia’s foreign policy lacks now.

At the same time, the fact of UN reform today is not in doubt.

Ish ... you have trusted, but in our country drunk bears in earflaps and balalaikas are sitting at the remote control of nuclear missiles.
The UN moved, rogues. And I thought the states there were in control. But it turns out nifiga, except for the oil pumps apparently. But I wonder if Gaddafi’s son is now among the militants and terrorists?

[Sergh]

And now it’s too late, will soon fly to someone! Resolution, yoshkin cat!

[Alexei]

They lose control - they made fun) When at least he was at the UN, check out the guys - they brought democracy there.

[lightforcer]

Time to wave your fists.

[datur]

after the fight, they don’t wave their fists — the train did leave the train with the Libyan weapons — NATO, led by the Pindos, opened a Pandora’s box - it’s not enough for everyone. we can say - they organized a weapons supermarket at a reasonable price - for those with whom they are struggling so hard. !!!!!

[Dart weyder]

yes - now it will be fun - even if there is an expense for one goal - ten, - this is 1000 shot down, ............... I would like the peddlers of democracy to get the hell out of it! (what nah control - if it all spread to Africa !?)

[Pol]

Gaddafi’s forces had to use at least a couple of hundred MANPADS! Or maybe more .... In the hands of Al Qaeda, less would have got ...

"Was there a boy", and who saw these MANPADS. You can say anything you want. It seems that Gaddafi was a masochist, having in such a number of formidable weapons that could disrupt the entire operation on the no-fly zone, he never shot at the enemies of the Jamahiriya. And the resolution in the UN - we need to throw a "bone" to satisfy our pride and the appearance that we are there (in the UN) listened to. This resolution does not oblige to anything. I wonder how it will really be ensured that weapons do not fall into the hands of the Basmachi. Our Foreign Ministry should have cut the vanity much earlier. And so it happened as in that saying: "They wanted to fart, but it turned out that it was obosr .... smiling."
