The United Nations Security Council voted 15-0 Saturday night on a draft resolution that includes an arms embargo, asset freeze and travel bans for Gadhafi and several of his family members and associates.
The draft resolution also refers the situation unfolding in Libya to the International Criminal Court, and Gadhafi and others could face an investigation for potential war crimes.
“This resolution will be a signal (to) put an end to the fascist regime that is still in existence,” said Abdurrahman Mohamed Shalgham, Libyan ambassador to the United Nations. Earlier Saturday, he renounced support for Gadhafi, calling him “a leader who loves nobody but himself.”
