UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.S. envoy to the United Nations told the
Security Council on Thursday that troops loyal to Libyan leader Muammar
Gaddafi were increasingly engaging in sexual violence and some had been
issued the impotency drug Viagra, diplomats said.
Several U.N. diplomats who attended a closed-door Security Council
meeting on Libya told Reuters that U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice raised the
Viagra issue in the context increasing reports of sexual violence by
Gaddafi's troops.
"Rice raised that in the meeting but no one responded," a diplomat said
on condition of anonymity. The allegation was first reported by a
British newspaper.
Pfizer Inc's drug Viagra is used to treat impotence.
If it is true that Gaddafi's troops are being issued Viagra, diplomats
said, it could indicate that they are being encouraged by their
commanders to engage in rape to terrorize the population in areas that
have supported the rebels.
The use of rape as a weapon during wartime has received increasing
attention at the United Nations. Last year, U.N. Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon appointed a special envoy on sexual violence during armed
conflict, Margot Wallstrom.
Earlier this month, Wallstrom chided the Security Council for failing to
mention sexual violence in two recent resolutions on Libya, despite
having made the subject a priority.
Wallstrom said at the time that reports of rape in Libya remained
unconfirmed but cited the highly publicized case of Eman al-Obaidi, the
woman who burst into a journalists' hotel in Tripoli last month saying
she had been raped by pro-government militiamen.
The International Criminal Court is already investigating whether
Gaddafi's government committed war crimes in its violent crackdown
against demonstrators who demanded greater freedoms. The crackdown
sparked a rebellion that has turned into a civil war.
The U.S. mission to the United Nations declined to comment.
