Editor's Notes
- #7: acting without a mandate (illegal) - Veto (Lybia-Russia and China) - Takes too long - increase tension between countries
- #8: 100 days - hutu kill tutsi - 0.5-1 million - hutu government->president killed - criticizied
- #9: Gaddafi vs people oposing his rule - 8, 1, 1. - Gaddafi fired into the crowds - sanctions - freezing assets/no fly zone - government cease fire, rebellions did not - nothing AU could do - 16.09.2011 - Gaddafi dead 21.10.2011 - 23.10.2011
