The UN Human Rights Council calls for investigation into civilian killings in Libya 
FNs menneskerettighetsråd vil granske drap på sivile i Libya
It maintains that the attacks against peaceful protesters may amount to crimes against humanity. 
Resolusjonen fremholder at angrepene mot fredelige demonstranter kan være å regne som forbrytelser mot menneskeheten.
The resolution was adopted at a special session on Libya that was held in Geneva following a Norwegian-supported EU initiative. 
Resolusjonen ble vedtatt under en spesialsesjon om Libya avholdt i Genève etter initiativ fra EU og støttet av Norge.
The purpose is to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.

The Human Rights Council also urges the Libyan authorities in the strongest terms to stop the ruthless violence and killings of the country’s own citizens and to provide immediate access for humanitarian assistance. 
Menneskerettighetsrådet oppfordret også på det sterkeste Libyas myndigheter til å sette en stopper for hensynsløs vold og drap på landets egne innbyggere og om umiddelbart å tillate tilgang for humanitær hjelp.
“The behaviour of the Libyan authorities is not compatible with membership of the UN Human Rights Council. 
- Libyske myndigheters opptreden er ikke forenlig med medlemskap i FNs menneskerettighetsråd.
