LONDON, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Britain is pushing for United Nations measures against the Libyan government, including asset seizures, travel bans and sanctions, Prime Minister David Cameron said on Friday.
Cameron said he wanted to send a warning to Libyan authorities over "appalling and unacceptable" violence against protesters.
"Britain through the United Nations is pressing for asset seizures, for travel bans, for sanctions, for all of the things that we can do to hold those people to account, including investigating for potential crimes against humanity or war crimes or crimes against their people," he said in a televised statement.
