The current flag is identical to the flag of the Kingdom of Libya introduced in 1951.
The use of such symbols is restricted in many countries.
The crescent and star represent the main religion of Libyan people which is Islam.
Videos shared on social media showed men tearing and trampling on the Libyan flag before burning it in protest against the North African country's participation at the three-day summit in Beirut.
The star is a representation of the smiling hope of the people of Libya, the light and the loveliness in their trust in God, and integrity that brightens the way and ends the darkness.
