#2 International sanctions do not include a fuel embargo.

And yet somehow it's now ok that Oil vessels are selectivly intercepted and denied access to Libyan ports. It kinda makes sense when you think about it. Afterall, UNSC 1973 mandates strict enforcement of an arms embargo. And well, that doesn't really apply to the Gyptians, Quataris, and lord knows who else. The resolution also calls for the establishment of a cease-fire. But you need to understand that it's one of those new fangled one-sided cease-fires. And that bit about preventing mercenary personnel? Yeah, it's helpful if you think of some of those folks as foriegn civilians...armed tourists if you will. But it's all above board. Because UNSC 1973 clearly states;

Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, territorial
integrity and national unity of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya

Oh yeah, and that "take all necessary measures" thing helps too.
