The Obama administration has announced that they plan to apply unilateral sanctions against the Gadhafi regime. The president will meet with the UN in order to discuss the situation in Libya and the options. What's more, a senior US official told NBC news that the executive order on the sanctions would name and target Gadhafi and his family members, create travel bans, and freeze assets as well. I think it is interesting how the article states that the attacks against the Libyan civilians are "crimes against humanity" according to a draft of the UN Sanctions resolution. This correlates to our class discussions on human rights and the fact that they can be violated and stripped away from people.
