Libyan diplomats to UN call for Gaddafi's ouster

Libyan diplomats to UN call for Gaddafi's ouster
United Nations: Libya's ambassadors at the United Nations are calling for leader Moammar Gaddafi to step down as the country's ruler.

Deputy Ambassador Ibrahim Dabbashi said on Monday that if Gaddafi does not relinquish power, "the Libyan people will get rid of him."

Dabbashi urged the international community to impose a no-fly zone over Libya to prevent mercenaries, weapons and other supplies from reaching Gaddafi and his security forces.

Dabbashi also said he was not resigning.

The diplomat says the Libyan delegation is also urging the International Criminal Court to investigate possible crimes against humanity committed against the Libyan people during the current protests.
