Military intervention in Libya :

Bolivia rejects UN decision

BOLIVIA: Bolivian President Evo Morales rejected the decision of the United Nations and its Security Council to endorse military action in Libya.

At a press conference, Morales condemned the measure and the bombing of Tripoli, which has caused thousands of civilian casualties.

For Morales, the UN Security Council is an insecurity council that must change its name to the Board of invasion and bombing.

Morales stressed that the internal problems of countries should be solved by their own people and not by foreign interventions that violate the rights and sovereignty of peoples.

Morales also considered the attack on Libya by NATO, involving European countries and the United States, as a disrespect for human rights and self-determination of peoples.

Morales added that the intervention in Libya does not have the goal of peace, but to take control of oil, to deliver it to the transnationals.
