The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the international law aspects of the situation in Libya. The analysis starts with an introduction, coveringthe issues of democratic forms of government under international law, and of state responsibility, including the right of third subjects (states and international organizations) to bring international claims. This will be followed by a discussion of UNSC resolutions 1970 and 1973, dealing with the intervention in Libya. It will also look at the role of NATO and the European Union in the Libyan conflict, in particular from the point of view of the role of regional organizations in maintaining and restoring international peace and security beyond the Member States. It will then cover how the international recognition of the Transitional Council will be dealt with (including problems connected with the nature of that body). Finally, the analysis will cover aspects of international criminal law (prosecution of Gaddafi and members of his staff), including the complicated and unclear relations between the UNSC and ICC.
