National Conference for the Libyan Opposition

Its stated goal was to bring "an end to tyranny and the establishment of a constitutional and democratic legitimacy" to Libya.

Composed primarily of opposition advocates and activists living outside Libya, the Conference met sharing three demands: Following the 2005 Conference, the NCLO agreed on a mission to call for a medium to address the Libyan people and the need to create a legal mechanism for prosecuting the leaders of the Gaddafi regime.

[2] The Conference has since been using the internet and social networking sites such as Facebook as political tools to organize and garner support.

[3] During the Libyan Civil War, the NCLO aided in organizing the 17 February "Day of Rage", stating that "all" groups opposed to Gaddafi both within Libya and in exile planned the protests in memory of the demonstrations in Benghazi on 17 February 2006 that were initially against the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons, but which turned into protests against Gaddafi.

[4][5][6] The NCLO's website disappeared sometime after the end of the civil war, and the organization is now presumed to have disbanded as its purpose is fulfilled and several of its member groups no longer exist.

The former Kingdom of Libya 's flag was used by the National Conference, eventually becoming Libya's official flag after the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi . [ 1 ]
