Iraq Crisis: Statements (Resumed).

 

Otherwise one cannot have a rule of international law. Disarmament has been demanded from Iraq for ten years. It has been given a much greater urgency by the events of 11 September 2001. Sanctions have negative effects. The Minister makes it clear that that is not entirely due to the crudeness of the sanctions themselves. The way in which the Iraqi regime administers that is also the case. We need to address the causes of sanctions. A particular situation could be created by the bringing to an end of sanctions and that would be better.
