Arabic to English Social Sciences Geography
وفي الوقت الذي لجأت فيه ليبيا دوماً إلى مجلس الأمن وإلى محكمة العدل الدولية (قضية لوكربي، قضية الجرف القارئ، قضية قطاع أوزو)، وإلى المنظمات الدولية (خليج سرت)، فإن الولايات المتحدة كانت (في علاقاتها مع ليبيا) لا تقيم اعتباراً كبيراً لأحكام القانون الدولي (قصف مدينتي طرابلس، وبنغازي عام 1986)، كما أنها تجاهلت (مراراً) سيادة دولة عضو في المجتمع الدولي والمنظمات الدولية.
From the same article on Libyan-American relations. Anyone know what this is? Thanks,
