[01] Papandreou backs action on LibyaPARIS (ANA-MPA - O. Tsipira) The international community will move to enforce the UN Security Council's decisions for Libya, Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said here on Saturday after attending a meeting of European, U.S. and Arab leaders on Libya hosted by France."Today's meeting showed the determination of the international community to enforce the decisions of the United Nations, especially for the protection of human life in Libya and, of course, on the need to implement a truce. Unfortunately, despite the assurance of the regime in Libya that the decisions will be implemented and that a truce will be implemented, these are proved false by the reality, by their actions, actions of violence. That is why the international community will move for the implementation of the decisions," Papandreou said.
