Kepentingan Amerika Serikat dan Prancis dalam Intervensi Kemanusiaan di Libya pada Tahun 2011

Abstract

United States and France were the two countries that had high involvement in
humanitarian intervention in Libya in 2011. In fact, the humanitarian intervention
process was deviated from the original goal of humanitarian intervention which
was for humanitarian reasons. This indicates that the United States and France
have their own interests behind humanitarian intervention in Libya. This research
aims to analyze the interests of the United States and France in carrying out
humanitarian intervention in Libya in 2011. In this study also briefly explained
how the conflict in Libya occur until the UN Security Council gave a decision to
intervene. This study uses qualitative and explanatory research methods with two
data sources, primary and secondary data. The theoretical framework used in this
research is Neorealism theory. From the research that has been done, there are
three interests of the United States and France in carrying out humanitarian
intervention in Libya. The First is the interests of the United States and France to
control oil in Libya, and the second is the political factor of the United States and
France, and the third is the interest of the United States to overthrow the
Muammar Gaddafi regime.
