Description
"This report documents civilian casualties in the air campaign by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in Libya in 2011. NATO says it took extensive measures to minimize civilian harm, and those measures seem to have had a positive affect: the number of civilian deaths in Libya from NATO strikes was low given the extent of the bombing and the duration of the military campaign. Nevertheless, NATO air strikes killed at least 72 civilians, one-third of them children under 18. To date, NATO has failed to acknowledge these casualties or to examine how and why they occurred."--From back cover.
