Prime Minister: Libya - "皇冠体育app time for action has come"
Prime Minister David Cameron met with French President & UN Secretary General in Paris.
Prime Minister David Cameron has said the 鈥渢ime for action has come鈥� after it became clear that Muammar Gaddafi had violated his own ceasefire.
Mr Cameron joined other world leaders - including representatives of several Arab states - at an emergency summit in Paris which agreed to deploy military aircraft to stop the assault on Benghazi.
Speaking after the summit, the PM said:
鈥淲hat is absolutely clear is that Gaddafi has broken his word, broken the ceasefire and continues to slaughter his own civilians.
鈥淭his has to stop. We have to make it stop. We have to make him face the consequences. So I think it is vitally important that action takes place and action takes place urgently.
鈥淥bviously at this time our thoughts should be with those who are going to risk their lives to help save the lives of others.
鈥淚 think it is vitally important that, with the United Nations behind us, with the clear legality of this action, and with local countries supporting us as well, it is right to act.鈥�
Participants in the summit agreed 鈥渢o use all necessary means - in particular military means - to enforce Thursday鈥檚 UN Security Council resolution on Libya.
Mr Cameron said action needed to be urgent and must 鈥渆nforce the will of the UN鈥�.
