Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the reaction of international institutions (United Nations, NATO and European Union) in Libyan crisis, focusing on the role of each institution. The lack of reaction of OSCE is identified, together with the UN role of mandating institution. The immediate reaction of NATO and the initial wishful thinking, but lack of political will of the EU are emphasized. The article concludes that NATO was the leading institution during the military support of the Libyan Transitional Council, leaving this role to another organization, maybe the EU, immediately after the military phase ended.
