UN-sanctioned intervention in Libya
UN-sanctioned intervention in Libya refers to actions authorized by the United Nations to address conflict or humanitarian concerns, often involving military or diplomatic measures. In Libya, such intervention was approved to protect civilians during the 2011 civil war, aiming to prevent human rights abuses and facilitate a political transition. This authorization typically involves international forces operating with UN approval, ensuring actions are multilateral and aimed at stability. It balances the need to support peace and security while respecting national sovereignty, with the goal of preventing chaos and safeguarding civilian lives.
