63. MORE on UN Sec. General's report to the Security Council on Libya:
Libyan government troops are disregarding a United Nations ceasefire order despite heavy bombing of Col Gaddafi's forces by an international coalition, Ban Ki-moon told the Security Council.

Reporting to the council on implementation of a resolution authorizing the use of force to end the onslaught against armed rebels, the UN secretary general said the Libyan government had not "taken steps to carry out their obligations".

The UN chief said that human rights abuses continued in Libya and that "those responsible for crimes against their people will be held accountable".

He told the UN headquarters in New York:



Libyan authorities have repeatedly claimed they have instituted a ceasefire.

We see no evidence that that is the case. On the contrary, fierce battles have continued.

We continue to have serious concerns about protection of civilians.

I expect the international community to continue to exercise full diligence in avoiding civilian casualties and collateral damage.
