I have seen many references to all of the UN security council members having voted for going into action against Libya. This is in fact false. Several nations abstained from the vote as a form of protest to the vote itself. Those nations do not believe that anyone has the right to go in and interfere in an "internal" matter. The nations that abstained are: Russia, China, India, Brazil and Germany. So even the EU backing isnt in total support as both Russia and Germany are also in the EU.
