Request to the Arab League:


We, an international coalition of Libyan groups, hereby call on the Arab League to condemn Moammar Qaddafi’s unsolicited and brutal attacks against the people of Libya, and to take all measures to ensure the immediate cessation of bloodshed.

On this basis we ask that the Arab League call on member states to:


1. Recognise and acknowledge the Libyan Transitional Council as the legitimate representative of the people of Libya, revoking any official accreditation of Qaddafi regime envoys, both existing and prospective; to boycott members or associates of the Qaddafi regime.

2. Implement the UN resolution calling for a freezing of public and private funds in Arab states, benefiting the Qaddafi regime.

3. Prevent the delivery of funds, troops and weapons, for use by the Qaddafi regime, passing through the borders of neighbouring Arab member states.

4. Support the imposition of a no fly zone

5. Reject all references to current events in Libya as a civil war, and classify them instead as a popular uprising.

6. To cooperate fully with the International Criminal Court, and not allow any of those identified by the Prosecutor to seek refuge on Arab territory, regardless of whether or not their home state is a party to the Rome Statute.

We ask that these decisions not be reliant on a unanimous basis but by majority vote.
