The UN Security Council voted two resolutions on Libya: 1970, passed on February 26 of this year; and 1973, passed on March 17.
The first imposed strict sanctions on Moamer Kadhafi's regime including an arms embargo and called for measures to protect civilians.
The second, approved as Kadhafi's forces closed on rebel-held Benghazi, authorised the use of force against pro-Kadhafi forces, which paved the way for the current wave of NATO-coordinated air strikes.
Mahmudi and Ban agreed on the UN envoy's visit following talks Thursday, during which the UN chief called on Mahmudi to halt the fighting and work to improve humanitarian conditions.
