International Law and a War on Iraq -- Global Policy Forum

Comments by legal experts consider the arguments put forward by the United States and the UK to establish the legality of their cause and the counter-arguments by other nations and by legal scholars. The body of opinion considers the US-UK position to be contrary to international law and liable to undermine important principles of world order if an attack on Iraq takes place.

This is a collection of articles all on international law and a war on Iraq. The US position of attacking Iraq without Security Council support clearly violates international law, the UN Charter, and American law. Note, a group of citizens from several countries founded Global Policy Forum in December 1993 to monitor global policy making at the United Nations. They are liberal in the sense that they consider the UN very important.
