Original Note:
NATO did not invade Libya, but enforced a no-fly zone mandated by UNSC resolution 1973. While criticized for supporting rebels outside its scope, it was not an invasion. NATO did not kill Ghaddafi. He was killed by Libyan rebels, following a NATO airstrike on his convoy. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2011/2/22/fresh-violence-rages-in-libya https://www.un.org/securitycouncil/s/res/1973-%282011%29 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/oct/20/muammar-gaddafi-killing-witnesses
