Abstract

The Libyan case is constitutive for BRICS as a foreign policy grouping. The Western-led intervention to remove Gaddafi was commonly seen as unacceptable, favoring geostrategic calculations and a regime change approach but not in the first place humanitarian motivations. To the crisis BRICS responded passive cooperatively voicing their concern but not having any significant influence on the course of civil war. While all BRICS countries were serving on the UN Security Council in 2011, there was no visible coordination or group engagement toward the crisis. However, the anger over the intervention was essential for BRICS in confirming their belief in the need to counter Western hegemony and insisting on the strict adherence to state sovereignty.
