International Pressure Mounts on Libyan Leader to Step Down

The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, says there are reports of mass killings in Libya that should spur the international community to step in to end the violence.

Pillay spoke at an emergency session of the U.N. Human Rights Council Friday in Geneva.  

"We owe them [the Libyan people] our solidarity and protection from violence," she said.

EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said Friday the 27-nation bloc should consider "restrictive measures" against Libya, including travel bans and asset freezes. (VOA)
