human rights council. there she will hold consultations with her counter partners and continue to ensure that we join with the international community to speak with one voice to the government and the people of libya. and even as we are focused on the urgent situation in libya, let me say that our efforts continue to address the events taking place elsewhere, including how the international community can most effectively support the peaceful transition to democracy in tunisia and in egypt. let me be clear, the change that is taking place across the region is being driven by the people of the region. this change does not represent the work of the united states or any foreign power, it represents the aspirations of people who are seeking a better life. as one libyan said, we just want to be able to live like human beings. we just want to be able to live like human beings. it is the most basic of aspirations that is driving this change. throughout this time of transition the united states will continue to stan

colonel gadhafi well there was downing condemnation from across the world at a meeting of the human rights council you and human rights council in geneva leaders in foreign secretaries from around the globe condemning the violence and saying that colonel gadhafi should step down now among those to condemn the violence and to call for a future where libya controls the future of its own people was russian foreign secretary sergey lavrov. i must say we are pretty useless there on the mass protests across the middle east and north african countries and exposed a range of problems that have piled up for decades first of all poverty unemployment and guaranteed social and economic rights in general these problems should be addressed by the people of the affected countries without any coercion or external interference the use of military force against civilians is unacceptable lidia it was hundreds of civilian deaths russia condemned such violence demands its immediate cessation and the observance of international humanitarian and all. leave united nation as our investigation into human rights violations

membership on the council should be earned through respect for human rights. that is the standard laid out by the general assembly. this council's predecessor, the human-rights commission, lost its credibility in part because libya was allowed to serve as its president. it should not take bloodshed for us to create such regimes have no place here. i must add the structural bias against israel, including a standard -- standing agenda item for israel, is wrong, and it undermines the important work we're trying to do together. as member states, we can take this council in a better, stronger direction. in 2009, the united states joined the human rights council because president obama and i believe we could make a difference by working with you on the inside, rather than standing on the outside nearly as a critic. over the past 18 months, we have worked together. we have reached across regional lines, we have overcome what hobbles this country more than anything else -- the decisions of the member states. we have an opportunity to continue that progress with libya.

join in what we expect to be a strong condemnation of the libyan government tomorrow at the human rights council. they have crossed a line and significantly violate it is human rights of their people. significantlyrt -- v it inio violated the human rights of their people. libya must respect its people and respond to their aspirations and it must reform. how we do that given the extremely complex situation that does present itself in libya that is different than any other thing that has happened in recent weeks and in any other country in the region, we are working carefully to assess the situation, review the options we have, and understand what we expect a response to be inside libya, not only by the government, but the other actors that have emerged across the country. we are being careful. this is a complex and ball tell situation. -- complex and volatile situation. >> on the foreign nationals, you have any information on what countries they are from. >> i don't know. >> what is it you might be taking to the security council on libya? >> i do expect there will be a follow-up in meetings and f

human's right -- human rights council. it has been a member since last year. the president will go to geneva to discuss that. even if that happens, it will not have an immediate effect. >> if you want to know who is keeping gaddafi in power, go online. you will find analysis on libya 's internal security operations and the mercenaries and para- militaries operating inside the country. this on the bbc news website. the russian prime minister vladimir putin has warned that certain prices of oil could be problematic. >> vladimir putin arrived in a strong position. he stands to benefit from higher oil prices. unrest in north africa could make europe more reliant on russian gas. this at a time when russia is arguing strongly against europe's energy market. even for russia, the price can go too high. >> today, the price of oil is $118 per barrel. this is a serious threat to economic growth of the whole world. this could have a negative effect on the russian economy as well. we want a reasonable price. >> traders are worried by warnings of oil price increases. the ch

human rights council in geneva on monday to discuss the developments in libya. >>> british prime minister david cameron has also strongly denounced the libyan government. cameron made the remark wednesday during a visit to qatar. >> what is happening in libya is completely unacceptable. would i like us to go further and have a full you nations security council resolution? yes, i would. i think that would be good. >> cameron says he would like to see the u.n. resolution send a clear warning to colonel gadhafi and the libyan armed forces that what they are doing is wrong. >>> as violence continues to flare up in libya, european nations are taking measures to evacuate thousands of their citizens from the country. the european commission estimates there are about 10,000 eu citizens in libya. member governments are coordinating efforts to speed up the evacuation. >> the preparation of the evacuation have started with the member states, and the commission stands ready to support member states through the moppering and information centers so-called mrnic improvi transport capacities and identify

they talk about suspending membership of libya to the human rights council. even if it is agreed on, it will not have any immediate effect. i don't think at the moment, there is any serious support for that. >> now joining me from albuquerque, new mexico, they have published several books and articles on libya. ambassadors, ministers, diplomats, army leaders. they are leaving, they are defecting. is that an indication that this is the beginning of the end? >> i think very much it is, certainly, there is the defection of his cousin that has also been a senior military commander in the eastern part of the country, and a diplomat that has been abroad for decades. when someone like that defects, it is the beginning of the end for the entire regime. >> is there any way that this will end with him still in power? >> it is difficult to say with certainty, but it does not look like that is going to be possible. the revolution opposition movements have swept from east to west. a number of cities in, others seem to be uncertain who is in control. the opposition itself

>> well, at the human rights council, the expectation is largely that they will vote for libya to be taken off of that council. one of the things that you heard from the president when he was speaking earlier, he made a point of talking about the multilateral coordination that we have seen over the past few days in the united nations, the arab league, and he made a point of saying that the world is speaking with one voice, condemning the violence in libya and made a point of saying that the government is violating international human rights law with the mounting death tolls. so one of the things that the administration officials are saying is, when the president said that the u.s. is considering a full range of options. that's likely talking about economic sanctions, going back to the sanctions and reinstating those that were released in 2004. administration officials say that might be an easier route to take because of certain things still in place in libya like the leadership of colonel qaddafi. >> where is the red line? if the violence crosses that, the united states and the united
