PARIS: Foreign military intervention in Libya will not happen without a clear United Nations mandate, French foreign minister Alain Juppe said on Tuesday.
"At the moment I speak, no military intervention is planned," Juppe, a veteran politician made foreign minister in a reshuffle on Sunday, told the lower house of parliament.
"Different options can be assessed, notably a no-fly zone. But let me put it clearly here -- no intervention will happen without a clear UN Security council mandate".
