From what I have read so far, this is not a UN action. Of course, I don't have all the facts; most of what I have read can be found in those two articles above. If I stand corrected, can you post a link? Thanks.
Security Council Approves ‘No-Fly Zone’ over Libya, Authorizing ‘All Necessary Measures’ to Protect Civilians, by Vote of 10 in Favour with 5 Abstentions The UN Security Council approved Resolution 1973 on March 17th. Additionally, the French saw the first action with reconnaissance flights over the country as well as eliminating one of Libya's tanks.
Wow, a link directly to the UN's Resolution. Isn't it amazing that in our day and age, learning about something 3 days after it happens makes you the last person to know? lol.
