wrongful invasion?
« on: June 07, 2003, 12:34:36 PM »
So what if Saddam Hussein filed legal proceedings against the US for wrongful invasion with the UN? Would we have a defense?


skip the knee-jerk reactions..think about if for a second.

He wouldn't have a case. He never complied with the original cease-fire agreements from the first gulf war, which began after he "wrongfully" invaded Kuwait

Skip the kneejerk reactions?  You just asked a kneejerk reaction magnet of a question there.

I'll play! :)

Grunhurz: "According to UN resolutions and the cese fire agreement military force was always an option in case of non compliance - we elected to exercise that option in march after 12 years of giving Saddam more and more chances to come clean."


crowMAW: "Yes, military action was a UN alternative to Saddam's noncompliance with UN resolutions. However, the UN did not sanction using that alternative. Therefore, the US did not act in accordance with the UN resolutions when we invaded, we specifically violated 1441, and that alone made it an illegal action in the world community."

When Iraq used gas in the Iraq - Iran war, Iran took it to UN and US used it's veto right to get Saddam out of the trouble.

Draw your own conclusions.

Ok so who exactly (appart from Britain) would use it's veto to get the USA out of trouble......and considering public opinion of the UN in America right now......would the USA even care what some Frenchman in a suit in Brussels says anyway?

The cease fire was not complied with, anything goes after that.
