Background

Until March 2011 Libya was a sovereign secular state, ranked by the United Nations as a "High Human Development" country in a global context (HDI ranking 53 out 194, ahead of countries like Russia and Brazil) and the most advanced country on the continent of Africa. As late as Jan 4, 2011 – just weeks before the war started – several UN members applauded Libya's continued commitment to upholding human rights.

Today, seven months later, Libya has – as a result of decisions and actions by individuals i.a. within the government and military forces of COUNTRY – been turned into a bombed out war zone with up to a million refugees under the control of a "National Transitional Council" (NTC) which is in the process of turning Libya into a theocracy regulated by Islamic Sharia law.
