War Resisters' International - an international network of more than 80 antimilitarist groups in more than 40 countries - declares:We are sick and tired of military interventions that shield behind false "humanitarian motives" - be that in Libya or elsewhere.
We are sick and tired of the logic of violence as a form of resolving social and political conflicts.
Yet once again we have to address these themes as if nothing has been learnt in the last hundred years.
We absolutely reject foreign military intervention in Libya, whatever the excuse.
We also reject the use of violence as a response to the multiple conflicts in Libya.
