The resolution, he noted, came in response to requests from both the Libyan people, as well as some regional organisations, such as the Arab League, for the imposition of a no-fly zone over the country.
Rezolucija, istakao je on, predstavlja odgovor na zahtev kako libijskog naroda, tako i nekih regionalnih organizacija, poput Arapske lige, za uvođenje zone zabranjene za letove iznad te zemlje.
