Clinton urges Gaddafi to step down
Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, has said the government of Muammar Gaddafi must be held to account over atrocities committed in Libya as she reiterated calls for the leader to step down.
Speaking at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland on Monday, Clinton said Gaddafi must leave power "now, without further violence or delay".
"Gaddafi and those around him must be held accountable for these acts, which violate international legal obligations and common decency," she said.
A Hillary lecture on "universal human rights" has no basis in reality when the US illegally occupies #Iraq and #Afghanistan. #Feb17 #Libya
