British Military, Mentoring vs Training in Libya
British Foreign Secretary William Hague announced that the UK would send military officers to Libya to assist the opposition forces. Hague insisted the mission is "mentoring" and "organizational assistance" rather than "training" or "arming," to remain within the bounds of UN Resolution 1973. Critics argue this distinction is semantic and represents a significant escalation of "boots on the ground."
