"Distinguished Members of the Council, Madam President,
"My Special Advisers on the Prevention of Genocide and the Responsibility to Protect have reminded the national authorities in Libya, as well as in other countries facing large-scale popular protests, that the heads of State and Government at the 2005 World Summit pledged to protect populations by preventing genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity, as well as their incitement.
"The challenge for us now is how to provide real protection and do all we can to halt the ongoing violence."
Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary-General
