The military operations launched by western countries against Libya are unacceptable as they are a blatant violation of the country`s sovereignty, an observer said.
"The western military operations are destroying Libya. They are similar to what the United States did in Iraq and this is unacceptable," a political researcher at the Indonesia Institute of Science (LIPI), Siti Zuhro, Ph.D , said here Wednesday.
According to Siti, the military aggression also violated democracy and human rights in Libya as a sovereign country.
"How would the UN (United Nations) justify the military operations? That is definitely an intervention. The internal and domestic affairs of Libya should be settled by Libya itself, not by the international world," she said.
There might be a hidden agenda in the military operations, Siti said, adding that to rule the world, political domination was not enough, there was also need for control of power and resources.
The western countries were known for their obsession towards resources in the Middle east and Arab countries, she said.
In view of the sovereignty violation, Siti also urged the international countries associations such as the Arab League, ASEAN and Non-Aligned Movement countries to question and stand firm against the western intervention in Libya.
"This is an important lesson for Indonesia and other countries in the world to maintain the solidity and the unity of the country," she said, adding that Indonesia in the 2011 ASEAN Chairmanship also has significant role to promote the world peace and to gain support from international world against the military aggression.
