UN Security Council to meet on Libya

The UN Security Council is scheduled to meet late on Friday to discuss the latest development in Libya, the UN Spokesperson\'s Office told reporters here. The council meeting is expected to take place after the UN General Assembly elected the five new council members as the non- permanent members of the UN body. The 193-member General Assembly went into extra round to pick between Azerbaijan and Slovenia to fill a seat for the Eastern Europe on the Security Council. Earlier on Friday, Pakistan, Morocco, Togo and Guatemala were elected to serve two-years terms on the Security Council, beginning Jan. 1. The Security Council\'s meeting on Libya came after the nation\'s ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi was killed on Thursday. The Security Council also meets on the current situation in Libya after NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Friday that the military alliance\'s Libya mission is very close to completion, and it has taken a preliminary decision to end it on Oct. 31. In March 2011, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution to authorize a no-fly zone over Libya and called for \"all necessary measures,\" excluding troops on the ground, to protect civilians under threat of attack in the North African country.
