Abstract

The article analyses the actions of external actors, both the western countries, and the African states towards Libya during the conflict of 2011. Besides, the authors examine the concept «responsibility to protect», which served as a pretext to start the military operation in this country. At the end authors consider consequences of the Gaddafi’s regime overthrow for the African region.
