The murder of Gaddafi, and the war crimes of Western powers
The jubilant reaction of Western powers and the foes of Muammar Gaddafi to his barbaric murder on October 20, 2011 raises some serious questions about war crimes committed by the Western-backed National Transitional Council (NTC) fighters and NATO forces.
There are two serious violations of
international law here, namely, (1) in relation to the Third Geneva
Convention in 1929 and (2) in relation to the UN Security Council
Resolution #1973 in 2011. Let me explain first (1) the Geneva Convention
and then (2) the UN Resolution hereafter.

naku, hindi totoo ang sinasabi ng artikulong ito. hindi susuportahan ng nato ang mga barbarong pumapatay ng pow at hindi rin nila tinira muna ang convoy ni gaddafi. mababait ang US at NATO! masasama lang pinapatay nila...ooops, mali, mababait nga pala ang mga bayaning pinoy noong fil-am war at ang tantads eh yung mananakop na kalbong agila. lol.
"This act of Western-backed NTC fighters is not only criminal but also barbaric. The foes of Gaddafi may argue that he deserves this fate, but two wrongs do not make a right (which is a well-known logical fallacy), and the answer to criminality is not more criminality. This blatant violation of the Geneva Convention then led Christof Heyns, the UN Special Rapporteur on extra-judicial executions, to charge on October 21 that "the manner of the deposed Libyan leader's killing could be a war crime," in a report by RT on October 22."
