対米全面テロ

個人的には

屁理屈も何も、もともと国際法などあってなきが様なものじゃないの？

そう思えばそのような気もするし、そう思わなければそうでないような気もするし。

支持派も屁理屈があるし、反戦派も屁理屈があるし。



イギリスでの説明はこうなってるけど。



Lord Goldsmith's statement

“Authority to use force against Iraq exists from the combined effect of Resolutions 678, 687 and 1441. All of these resolutions were adopted under Chapter VII of the UN Charter which allows the use of force for the express purpose of restoring international peace and security:


1. In Resolution 678 the Security Council authorised force against Iraq, to eject it from Kuwait and restore peace and security.


2. In Resolution 687, which set out the ceasefire conditions after Operation Desert Storm, the Security Council imposed continuing obligations on Iraq to eliminate its weapons of mass destruction in order to restore international peace and security in the area. Resolution 687 suspended but did not terminate the authority to use force under Resolution 678.


3. A material breach of Resolution 687 revives the authority to use force under Resolution 678.


4. In Resolution 1441 the Security Council determined that Iraq has been and remains in material breach of Resolution 687.


5. The Security Council in Resolution 1441 gave Iraq ‘a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations’ and warned Iraq of the ‘serious consequences’.


6. The Security Council also decided in Resolution 1441 that, if Iraq failed at any time to comply with and co-operate fully in the implementation of Resolution 1441, that would constitute a further material breach.


7. It is plain that Iraq has failed so to comply and therefore Iraq was at the time of Resolution 1441 and continues to be in material breach.


8. Thus, the authority to use force under Resolution 678 has revived and so continues today.


9. All that 1441 requires is reporting to and discussion by the Security Council of Iraq’s failures, but not an express further decision to authorise force.”
