Foreign Secretary on Qadhafi: "We will judge him by his actions, not his words"
Foreign Secretary discussed the UN Security Council resolution and the situation in Libya on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on 21 March.
Explaining the UN resolution the Foreign Secretary said it 鈥渁uthorises all necessary measures to be taken to protect the civilian and the populated areas of Libya鈥�.
鈥淟et鈥檚 not forget what we鈥檝e achieved in the last few days. Qadhafi, without this resolution, without the action we鈥檝e taken, was setting about attacking Benghazi with, he said, no pity or mercy, to search every household. 皇冠体育appre would have been a humanitarian disaster as people fled from that, and that at least for now has been averted. And so something very important has been achieved, which is the protection of the civilian population by the action we鈥檝e taken so far.鈥�
Speaking about the ceasefire that was declared by Qadhafi last night the Foreign Secretary said 鈥渨e will judge him by his actions, not by words.鈥�
鈥淗e鈥檚 declared a ceasefire just two days before, which was completely disregarded. Every word spoken by the Libyan Foreign Ministry on this turned out to be untruthful because the attacks on opposition forces and on civilians continued.鈥�
Prime Minister David Cameron will open a debate on the UN Security Council Resolution in Parliament this afternoon.
