The 2011 campaign to overthrow the Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi has been described as "ill-conceived" and "founded on erroneous assumptions".

A highly critical report, published by the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, accuses the government at the time of having "an incomplete understanding of the country and the situation" and blames it for helping create the messy state Libya finds itself in today.

The intervention, in March 2011, was instigated by the French government led by Nicholas Sarkozy. David Cameron was quick to commit British forces to the campaign.

The committee said this was "reactive" as the situation in the eastern city of Benghazi deteriorated and fears of a massacre increased.

"We have seen no evidence the UK government carried out a proper analysis of the nature of the rebellion in Libya," the report concluded.

"The international community's inability to secure weapons abandoned by the Gaddafi regime fuelled instability in Libya and enabled increased terrorism across North and West Africa and the Middle East."

Commenting on the report, committee chairman Crispin Blunt said: "Other political options were available. Political engagement might have delivered civilian protection, regime change and reform at a lesser cost to the UK and Libya.

"The UK would have lost nothing by trying these instead of focusing exclusively on regime change by military means.

The political and security vacuum, created by the UK and France, has allowed Islamist groups to take root in the country and the coastline is now a hub for people smuggling. Thousands of migrants are crossing the Mediterranean from Libyan beaches.

The investigation concludes the UK has "a particular responsibility in relation to migrants and refugees" because of its role in the conflict.

In its opinion, the migrant crisis "has been exacerbated by the collapse of the Libyan state" and the UK should share the blame.

【on.cc東網專訊】前英國首相卡梅倫周二突然宣布辭去下議員職務，英國國會翌日隨即發表2011年利比亞戰爭調查報告，指責時任首相卡梅倫與法國在未有足夠情報下，便貿然出兵利比亞，直接促成了回教極端組織伊斯蘭國（IS）的堀起，卡梅倫未有回應事件。

報告指，英法聯軍在2011年聯合出兵利比亞時，未有收集到準確的情報便貿然行動；令利比亞前領袖卡達菲政權倒台後，亦未有一致的善後政策，導致利比亞「政治及經濟上瓦解」。部族間的戰爭、難民危機、人道危機多年來持續不斷，甚至使IS的勢力坐大。

報告同時以「笨拙」來形容英法的軍事行動，稱她們為IS鋪平了阻礙，令後者在當地的訓練營得以持續運作。此外，卡達菲政府倒台後，該國亦失去了一個強而有力的中央政府，去壓制當地的恐怖分子，令IS得以繼續發展。
