Gaddafi's daughter dropped as goodwill ambassador by UN

The UN Development Programme (UNDP) has dropped the daughter of Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi, Aisha al-Gaddafi, as a Goodwill Ambassador.

UN spokesman Martin Nesirky told reporters in New York on Wednesday that UNDP’s agreement with Aisha al-Gaddafi had been terminated following recent events in Libya.
Gaddafi, who has ruled Libya for 42 years, has been condemned by members of the international community for using lethal force to stop anti-government protesters.
His regime had faced mounting protests in the past few days, with calls for him to quit.
The UN spokesman said Aisha al-Gaddafi was appointed a goodwill ambassador for Libya on July 24, 2009.
She was appointed to focus on UN anti-poverty goals, especially combating HIV/AIDS and violence against women, both being culturally sensitive topics in Libya.
Aisha al-Gaddafi is a Law Professor who reportedly was part of the defence team for the late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein after his downfall.
The goodwill ambassadors are volunteers and do not have UN diplomatic documents.
According to media reports, Aisha al-Gaddafi had appeared on Libyan state television on Wednesday, denying a report she had tried to flee to Malta.
“I am steadfastly here,’’ she had said.
She acknowledged that she was unaware of a report she had been dropped by the UN as a goodwill ambassador.
