Hi, It is a bit unclear to understand "towards removing" like if a word was missing before it ... I'm looking on the setence in another way- "Nato was taking the mandate... towards removing" I think that I don't understand well towards...
"When it came to Libya, Russia and China, both had considerable investment in the country, opposed western policies especially when it became clear that Nato was taking the UN mandate beyond providing protection to civilians and towards removing the regime of Muammar Gaddafi"
Top answer
Nothing is missing. NATO was taking the UN mandate [ beyond providing protection to civilians] and [ towards removing the regime] NATO was changing the direction of its efforts.
