Without the WMD in Iraq how was Iraq in violation of resolution 1441?
|
Iraq was in violation of UN Resolution 1441 on several counts.
1) Failure to disclose to UN inspectors a fully detailed report on the type/location of its weapons systems - all of them - not just wmd.
2) Denied the UN full access to the sites that it did reveal.
3) In 1998, ceased all cooperation with UNSCOM and the IAEA.
4) Failed to "comply with its commitments pursuant to Resolution 687 with regards to terrorism..."
5) "Iraq has failed...to end repression of its civilian population and to provide access by international humanitarian organizations to all those in need of assistance in Iraq."
6) "...to return Kuwaiti property wrongfully seized by Iraq."
"Recalling that in its resolution 687 (1991) the Council declared that a ceasefire would be based on acceptance by Iraq of the provisions of that resolution, including the obligations on Iraq therein..."
"Determined to insure full and immediate compliance by Iraq without conditions or restrictions with its obligations under resolution 687..."
7) "the Council has repeatedly warned Iraq that it will face serious consequences as a result of its continued violations of its obligations."
