"South African President Jacob Zuma has said that NATO is taking advantage of UN Resolution 1973 to implement a plot to effect regime change in Libya.
“We strongly believe that the resolution is being abused for regime change, political assassinations and foreign military occupation,” AFP quoted Zuma as saying in a speech to parliament on Tuesday.
Zuma has visited Libya twice since March on behalf of the African Union (AU) to attempt to find a political solution to the crisis in the North African country.
The South African president said NATO attacks have undermined the AU's efforts to resolve the crisis diplomatically.
Zuma urged all parties involved in the Libya conflict to “respect human rights and comply with international humanitarian law.”
He expressed hope that a briefing by an AU committee on Libya to the UN Security Council on Wednesday would pave the way for reaching a consensus on finding a solution to the crisis.
South Africa voted for the UN resolution which authorized the enforcement of a no-fly zone over Libya to protect civilians.
However, South Africa has frequently condemned the NATO airstrikes on Libya and the onslaught on civilians, calling it a “heinous violation of human rights against (Muammar Gaddafi's) own people.”"]South African President Jacob Zuma has said that NATO is taking advantage of UN Resolution 1973 to implement a plot to effect regime change in Libya.
