Libya, Politics, 7/13/2000
The 36th summit of the Organization of African Unity wound up here Wednesday, supported Libya's right "to compensation for the damage caused by the sanctions imposed by the Security Council following the so-called Lockerbie case."
The heads of state also "asked the security council to take a speedy decision for a total and permanent lifting of the sanctions imposed" on the north African country.
The 1998 OAU summit in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, had unilaterally authorized its members to travel to Libya by air on certain missions in defiance of the embargo.
In lome, the leaders expressed "their satisfaction with the commencement of the trial of the two Libyan suspects" and demanded that "all the conditions be put in place to guarantee a fair, neutral, just and transparent trial."
