Spain in the coalition
Foreign intervention should not de-legitimize the rebel forces Gaddafi fighting
All parliamentary groups except the United Left and BNG, yesterday backed the government's decision to participate in the international coalition that, pursuant to resolution 1973 the Security Council intends to protect the population Libyan civil Gaddafi attacks. Although expected, the result of the vote shows that the Mediterranean policy is perceived by all political forces, and also by most citizens as a priority of English diplomacy. It would have been inexplicably left out of an operation in which the moral imperative to prevent the Libyan regime commit new atrocities coincide with UN authorization necessary. For reasons not easily understood, the Government decided to limit to one month requested authorization to the House, but noted that it is a renewable period.
The mission that has joined Spain faces, however, problems arising from the urgency with which it had to be implemented, just hours after the Security Council approve the resolution has been derived. Operational reasons advised that the United States initially took command, but the president Obama has expressed his desire to transfer it asap. France, which was the first country to intervene, aims to take over in an attempt to correct the mistakes of its recent policy in Tunisia. Italy, whose bases are essential for the development of the mission, rather, on the other hand, it is NATO who take the place of the United States, limiting the French role. But this alternative conflicts with the misgivings of some allies, including Turkey. The proposed formula to fit the puzzle is to establish a political leadership that their decisions run through the Alliance. United States welcomes this solution announced by French Foreign Minister, Alain Juppe, although need to know the reaction of other members of NATO. Along with the problems related to the control, also have expressed doubts about the objective of the mission. Despite the extent of the terms in which it is worded, the resolution 1973 does not cover the overthrow Gaddafi. Go beyond operations to protect the civilian population could overwhelm not only the legal framework established by the United Nations, moreover, would seriously undermine the political future of Libya. The rebels themselves fighting Gaddafi reiterated their opposition to international forces beyond the target set by the resolution, in the belief that its legitimacy must not be compromised if they finally manage to overthrow the dictatorship. The speed with which the coalition led by France, Britain and the United States executed the mission authorized by Resolution 1973 has made fall into oblivion other significant aspects of this text that inspired the international strategy against Libya. In particular, the need to block the financial assets available to Gaddafi, including Libyan sovereign fund to finance the military machine that has launched against their own countrymen. If your intention is to establish a war of attrition in which coalition members eventually be seen pressured by public opinion, the need for deprive Qaddafi of resources becomes more urgent.
United Nations has given rise to it, with the same emphasis that has established an arms embargo and authorized actions to protect civilians. The military component of the strategy of the coalition should not corner the role of diplomacy, which remains essential for a favorable outcome of the mission. ELPAIS.ES, 23/03/2011
