"We take note of reports of an African Union ceasefire proposal. Since the start of the Libyan crisis, NATO has been in constant touch with the African Union and other regional and international organisations," NATO spokeswoman Oana Lungescu said in a statement.

"We have always made it clear that there could be no purely military solution to this crisis. We welcome all contributions to the broad international effort aimed at stopping the violence against the civilian population in Libya," she said.
