Western countries blocked a United Nations resolution on Wednesday that demanded "a complete end to violence and all attacks against and abuses of civilians" in Libya.

The resolution was drafted by the African Union, whose ad hoc committee on Libya - consisting of ministers from South Africa, Mali, Mauritiania, Uganda and the Republic of Congo - pleaded for "an immediate humanitarian pause in fighting" in the closed-door meeting.

The draft noted that a ceasefire would allow aid groups to see to the "pressing needs of the populations affected."

The AU insisted that the pause "should be followed by a political process, in particular by starting with an inclusive and consensual transition."
