The armed conflicts that broke out in 2011 in the Arab Maghreb led to mass violations of human rights. Democratic countries, above all the member states of the European Union that attach special importance to respecting the dignity and rights of individuals, observance of the rules of a democratic state and declare aid to the citizens of countries outside the EU - faced the necessity to respond effectively to the developments in North Africa and the Near East. The necessity to act was further enhanced by the fact that the conflicts broke out in an area sensitive to the security of EU member states. Within the complex of conflicts in the Maghreb, the most difficult one to regulate and abate at the beginning of 2011 was the conflict in Libya. On account of the military involvement of European countries and different stances of particular EU member states on this issue, the conflict in Libya can have strong negative consequences for a common foreign policy and security of the EU. The article analyzes the acceptability of international intervention in Libya and the attitude of European states and societies to the military aid to Libyan insurgents.
