The Powers have promised to uphold the embargo, but the weapons continue to flow into Libya

Some countries continue to violate Libya's arms embargo, despite promising to obey it at a summit in Berlin just a week ago - the UN mission in the North African country said on Saturday.

"Over the past ten days, cargo flights and many other flights have been seen landing at Libya's airports in its western and eastern parts, providing advanced weapons, armored vehicles, consultants and fighters to the various sides," it said. The UN delegation condemned "these ongoing violations that threaten to degrade the country into a renewed and intense fighting round."

Then, NATO-backed rebel forces dropped The regime of tyrant Muammar Gaddafi, but the state remains in chaos.
