- Description
In the top two frames a father, who is sitting in an armchair reading the paper, says to his small son 'Big news son - the UN is using military action to enforce its Libya resolution!' and in the lower frame he is astonished when the boy replies 'Wow! -Heavy! - So, given all the UN resolutions it's ignored, they'll soon be attacking Israel!' Context - The UN security council resolution 1973 (2011) supporting military action against the Gaddafi regime in Libya was adopted on 17 March 2011. Military aircraft are preparing to protect the Libyan rebel stronghold of Benghazi after the United Nations security council voted in favour of a no-fly zone and air strikes against Muammar Gaddafi's forces. Gaddafi says the UN resolution was an act of "flagrant colonization" for which it had no legal mandate.
