Following a number of events including the sweeping revolutionary trends in North African countries of Tunisia and Egypt (the Arab Spring), the Libyan people on February 15, 2011 began a series of peaceful protests which were met with violent responses by the government. The protests escalated into an uprising that spread across the country with the forces opposing Gaddafi establishing a government based in Benghazi named the National Transitional Council whose goal is to overthrow the Gaddafi-led government and hold democratic elections. The Gaddafi regime brutally and violently responded by attacking the protesters killing many civilians with rising number of casualties raising humanitarian concerns, which on grounds of humanitarian intervention or responsibility to protect doctrine, ultimately necessitated the imposition of no-fly zone by the UNSC. The study concludes that the implementation of no-fly zone worsens rather than ameliorates the humanitarian conditions in Libya.
