Everyone in the era of globalization knows that international relations are influenced by the oil economy. That said, the oil trade has become a main activity of the world's peasants. From where countries this resource is sought became a threat. It should be noted that the problem of oil continues to be on the agenda in international society and is not limited to technological or economic developments but also to political dimensions. Which is to say that oil helps to determine the hierarchy of state power. That is why, it serves to make war in other words a source of some conflicts of the world. This present work illustrates the case of the war in Libya where NATO intervention was behind oil and gas. Libya is a coveted country, its oil and gas, a great wealth with reserves estimated at 44 and 46.4 million barrels, the largest in Africa. This country occupies an ultra-sensitive position on the hydrocarbon market, without forgetting its crude which is of excellent quality or its activities are close to the most important European refining centers of the world. Force is a revision that this war, that the UN under the resolution to overthrow the regime of Gaddafi, because it had become a threat to the interests Western. Which brings to understand that, this war had nothing with the protection of civilians advocated by the West, but it was directed against the Libyan guide in the person of Gaddafi and also against China for the oil and gas.

It should be noted that the problem of oil continues to be on the agenda in international society and is not limited to technological or economic developments but also to political dimensions.

Abstract: (french)
Nul n’ignore qu’à l’ère de la mondialisation les relations internationales sont influencées par l’économie pétrolière. Ceci dit, le commerce du pétrole est devenu une activité principale des pays puissants du monde. D’où les pays possédant cette ressource tant recherchée deviennent une menace. Soulignons que, le problème pétrolier continue à être à l’ordre du jour au sein de la société internationale et ne se limitent pas seulement à des abonnées technologiques ou économiques mais aussi aux dimensions politiques. Ce qui revient à dire que le pétrole contribue à déterminer la hiérarchie de la puissance des Etats. Voilà pourquoi, il sert à faire la guerre autrement dit une source de certains conflits du monde. Ce présent travail illustre le cas de la guerre en Lybie ou l’intervention de l’Otan était derrière le pétrole et le gaz. La Lybie est un pays convoité, de son pétrole et gaz, une grande richesse avec ses réserves estimés en 44 et 46.4 million de baril soit les plus grandes d’Afrique. Ce pays occupe une position ultrasensible sur le marché des hydrocarbures, sans oublie son brut qui est d’excellente qualité ou ses gisements sont proches des centres de raffinages Européens d’ailleurs les plus important du monde. Force est de constater que dans cette guerre, bien que le recours à la force ait effectivement été autorisé par le conseil de sécurité de l’ONU, sous la résolution 1973 n’a été qu’un prétexte d’où l’agenda caché était de renverser le régime de Kadhafi, par ce qu’il était devenu une menace pour des intérêts occidentaux. Ce qui porte à comprendre que, cette guerre n’avait rien avec la protection des civils prônée par l’occident, mais elle était dirigée d’abord contre le guide libyen en la personne de Kadhafi et aussi contre la chine pour enfin contrôler son approvisionnement en pétrole et en gaz.
