Bolivian president rejects military intervention in Libya

Bolivian President Evo Morales on Friday expressed his rejections against any foreign military intervention in Libya and favored a peaceful solution to the crisis in the North African country.
"We reject any military intervention, because that will produce more deaths. That is not a pacific solution," Morales said.
According to Morales, a military intervention from the multinational forces in Libya could kill more people, so he urged for a pacific solution to the social crisis.
Morales said the conflict in Libya is ideological, political and social, so it must be solved with peaceful means.
He said if human rights were violated during or after the conflict, the responsible ones must be punished according to international laws.
Morales said the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty organization (NATO) want to intervene in Libya to take the natural resources in that country and not for saving the people.
Morales also questioned the decisions of the UN Security Council of allowing an armed intervention in Libya, including raids by air and sea, as a way to stop Libyan Leader Muammar Gadafi.
Late Thursday, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution authorizing a no-fly zone over Libya and other measures to "protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack."
