In February 2011 a rebellion began in Libya for socio-economic and political reasons, and the people, who had taken over the government by a military coup, wanted to remove Kaddafi from power. The Kaddafi regime's excessive use of force to the people's demand has led to the deaths of thousands of civilians. The situation in Libya has also attracted the attention of the international public, and the United Nations has adopted Decision S/RES/1970(2011) which includes sanctions to stop the Libyan regime of civil war in order to protect the civilian population, and Decision S/RES/1973(2011) which authorizes the international community to armedly interfere. According to this decision, in October 2011, NATO successfully ended Kaddafi’s administration in Libya with a “United Protection Operation” intervention. The main objective is to investigate NATO’s humanitarian intervention in the security crisis in Libya in accordance with the UN decision, the UN humanitarian intervention decisions and NATO’s intervention in Libya have been explained and the NATO’s intervention in Libya has been examined.
