Spain says intervention in Libya should be "last resort" "The international community should intervene militarily in Libya only as a 'last resort,' Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said Tuesday.
An eventual intervention should be backed by the United Nations, and Spain's possible participation in it must be endorsed by Parliament, Zapatero said.
Media reports had earlier said Madrid was planning to seek Arab and African backing for an eventual military operation. The European Union will hold an emergency summit on Libya on Friday.
Peruvian Foreign Minister Jose Antonio Garcia Belaunde also stressed that an eventual military mission should take place 'within the framework of the United Nations.'
However, there were alternatives to such an operation, such as creating a no-fly zone over Libya or international pressure, Garcia Belaunde said during a visit to Spain."
