The Secretary Generals of the United Nations

This is part of my study. I am taking a course, called United Nations Semester, and I am required to know all of these Secretary Generals of the United Nations. I made a list, and I didn't want it used only by myself. This is too simple to know details, but I hope it helps a little bit, somehow.

U.N. Votes to End Foreign Intervention in Libya

By RICK GLADSTONE

Published: October 27, 2011

The United Nations Security Council voted to end its authorization on Monday (10/31) of the foreign military intervention in Libya, which is the legal basis for the NATO attacks on Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi's forces during the eight-mont civil war that took him down from power.

Muammar el Qaddafi was an erratic, provocative dictator. He ruled Libya for 42 years, by crushing opponents at home while cultivating the wardrobe. He died on October 20, 2011, at the hands of the Libyan forces that drove him from power. 

The concern is, "The council’s action, a week after Colonel Qaddafi was killed as he sought to escape his final refuge in Surt, his hometown, was not unexpected. But it came despite new worries in Libya that Colonel Qaddafi’s remaining loyalists might not be vanquished, and that they might regroup outside Libya to cause new trouble in the months ahead." (New York Times)

However, NATO ministers, meeting on Friday (10/28) are expected to declare that their final action in Libya is going to be on Monday (10/31).
