Okay

There is a large country called Libya that:

- was/is an exit point for many refugees

- is a boat hop from Greece

- is having massive trouble finding a stable government

- ISIS is routing

- that would benefit from serious development

i.e. Libya cannot manage itself.

If the UN wanted to actually do something concrete for a change, it could seek majority approval and annex for example, a North Western section of Libya to be redeveloped specifically for medium-long term refugee settlement under Western democratic rule. The money spent on such an initiative would save Europe spending the expected 10's-100's of billions it would cost Europe to cope with the refugees.

The West has already stuffed Libya up completely. It is naive to think that a western imposed democracy there could possibly do any good. Libya DID manage itself pretty well until the US and NATO mucked it up.
