DOHA, April 13 (Reuters) - United Nations rules prevent the arming of rebels in Libya, Belgium's foreign minister said at a meeting in Qatar on Wednesday to discuss Libya's future.
When asked whether arming rebels was a possibility, Belgian Foreign Minister Steven Vanackere told reporters: "There is no case for the logic of arming civilians, according to the 1973 United Nations resolution."
Meetings of the Libya Contact Group began in Qatar on Wednesday and include representatives of the Libya National Council rebel group.
