Libya’s United Nations Seat Approved
Published September 16, 2011 The U.N. General Assembly voted Friday to give Libya’s seat in the world body to the former rebels’ National Transitional Council which led the rebellion that ousted Muammar Qaddafi.
The vote means that a senior council official will be able to join world leaders and speak for Libya at next week’s ministerial session of the General Assembly and also participate in meetings.
The resolution was approved Friday by a vote of 114-17 with 15 abstentions, revealing divisions in Africa and Latin America over who should represent Libya.
