2. French attempt for a no-fly zone could not reach consensus: This option suggests that France proposed the idea of a no-fly zone over Libya, but the foreign ministers could not reach a consensus on this matter. The lack of agreement on this proposal also played a role in the failure of the G-8 nations to agree on military action.
