Air Raids excessive

China Daily | Updated: 2011-03-29 07:57

MOSCOW - Russia's foreign minister says that Western air raids against Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi's forces would go beyond the United Nation's resolution.

Sergey Lavrov said on Monday that strikes on forces loyal to Gadhafi would amount to interference in what he called Libya's civil war, and thus would breach the UN Security Council resolution that envisaged a no-fly zone only to protect civilians.

Lavrov said NATO's decision on Sunday to assume command of all aerial operations in Libya from the US-led force was in line with the UN resolution. But he emphasized that NATO should limit itself to protecting civilians. Russia, China and other nations abstained in the UN vote that sanctioned the military operation.
