An investigation by the UK and the US led to two Libyan nationals being charged with the Lockerbie bombing. The Libyan Government's initial refusal to hand the suspects over for trial resulted in international diplomatic pressure being brought to bear on Libya, led by the UK, US and French Governments. Action took the form of a number of UN Security Council Resolutions and European Union measures imposing economic and other sanctions. In 1999, Libya handed over the two suspects for trial. One was convicted and the other acquitted. Sanctions were formally lifted in 2003.
