KETERLIBATAN NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION (NATO) DALAM KRISIS POLITIK DI LIBYA
Abstract
In the early 2011, revolutions demanding a system reform hit the Middle East and the
North African countries. In Libya, the people went down the street demanding the end
of Khadafi’s regime which had been running for 42 years. Many people became
victims of the repressive response by the government. United Nations Security
Council (UNSC) passed resolutions no. 1970 and 1973 which stated to give
allowance to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to do such
humanitarian intervention in Libya. NATO was appointed as the commando of “no
flight zone” military operation. This intervention was started since March 19 2011.
The forms of NATO’s involvement based on UNSC’s resolution number 1970 and
number 1973 regarding conflict resolution in Libya are: first, conflict de-escalation
by implementing “no flight zone” military operations, the embargo of armaments.
Seconds, humanitarian intervention by monitoring humanitarian assistants to Libya.
And third, peace-building by supporting National Transition Council (NTC) as an adinterim
goverment
of
Libya.
