The UN Security Council has discussed how to sanction the Libyan leader for his brutal suppression of pro-democracy protests in his country. Member nations will consider arms embargo, travel ban and asset freeze on Mumammar Gaddafi. India and 14 other members of the UNSC met to discuss a resolution containing possible actions against the Libyan leadership. The 15-nation body had its first round of consultations on the draft on Friday. Meanwhile, the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva passed a resolution with a decision to suspend Libya's membership from the 47-nation body. This decision needs to be approved two-thirds of the 192-member General Assembly. The US already announced sanctions against Libya on Friday. US President Barack Obama has telephoned German Chancellor Angela Merkel to discuss the deteriorating situation in Libya and said its leader MuammarGaddafi has lost the legitimacy to rule. Obama's call was part of his outreach with global leaders on the unfolding situation in Libya and coordinate urgent efforts to respond to developments and ensure appropriate accountability. In Tunisia, three people were killed in clashes between demonstrators and security forces in the capital Tunis yesterday. In Bahrain, King Hamad bin Issa al-Khalifa reshuffled his cabinet yesterday under pressure as an exiled opposition leader returned and thousands of protesters marched in the capital Manama to demand the Sunni rulers stand down. The move came on the 13th day of protests calling for reforms in the country, as opposition leader Hassan Mashaima returned home to Bahrain from self-imposed exile in Britain. In Morocco, almost 1,000 people rallied amid a heavy police presence in the biggest city Casablanca to demand political reforms and a new constitution. The protest took place nearly a week after thousands of people staged rallies demanding political reform and limits on the powers of King Mohammed VI under the so-called February 20 movement. In Egypt, the panel tasked with amending the country's constitution has recommended several amendments to the constitution to strengthen democracy in the country. The panel has recommended easing restrictions on who can run for president and imposing presidential term limits. The eight-member panel also suggested limits on the use of emergency laws to a six-month period with the approval of an elected parliament. The panel has said that extending the emergency laws beyond that period should be put to a public referendum.
