Libya gets UN welcome, pledges of support
None
Libya's new flag flew at the United Nations on Tuesday for the first time since Muammar Gaddafi's overthrow as US President Barack Obama called for the last of the deposed leader's loyalists to stop fighting.
International leaders at a high-level UN conference on Libya congratulated Libyans - and themselves - for Gaddafi's removal by NATO-backed rebels in a seven-month-old conflict. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, welcoming Libya's new leaders into the international community, said the Security Council had acted to protect the Libyan people from violence. (Reuters)
