Burns: 'The US is committed to democracy in Libya'

 
27.11.2004


Deputy secretary of state for Near East Affairs William Burns affirmed, "The US Department of state is committed to promoting human rights, democracy and the rule of law in Libya". Mr. Burns also stated "Despite the recent lifting of UN sanctions, U.S. bilateral sanctions will remain in place until Libya addresses our serious concerns with respect to its pursuit of WMD and means of delivery, human rights, terrorism and its destructive role in African conflicts". Mr. Burns's comments came from a letter, which he sent at the request of Secretary Colin Powell to Aly Abuzakuk, the Chairman of the board of the American Libyan Freedom Alliance (ALFA).

ALFA is a Non-Government American organization (NGO) and was founded by a group of Libyan Americans. It is headquartered in Virginia and works within the American political system to end the tyrant rule of Maumar ElGadafi and build a modern democratic system of government in Libya. In addition ALFA intends to work hard to bring to justice all those responsible for human rights violations in Libya.
