(ANSAmed) - Rome, January 18 - Italy will help Libyàs transitional government to recreate national police force and urges its international partners to do the same, Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi told parliament Wednesday. "Italy believes the formation of Libyan police forces is essential, respecting international conventions," Terzi said.

A visit to later this week Tripoli by Terzi and Premier Mario Monti will provide the chance to help Libya draw up a "road map" to complete its transition from the dictatorship of late strongman Muammar Gaddafi, the foreign minister said.

Monti, Terzi and a diplomatic and business delegation will visit Libya on Saturday to start to restore cooperation with the north African country, reactivating an important friendship treaty.

The treaty was signed by Gaddafi and then Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi in mid-2008.

1. Treaties signed by Qaddafi are still binding?

What's the point of revolution if you can't flush the treaties?

Anyway, if someone can help Libya set up a police force, hopefully a politically-neutral one, then that sounds good.

2. Reactivate means that it was not active, which means it was not binding.
