List of UN resolutions being violated by countries other than Iraq

In its effort to justify its planned invasion of Iraq, the Bush administration has emphasized the importance of enforcing UN Security Council resolutions.
However, in addition to the dozen or so resolutions currently being violated by Iraq, a conservative estimate reveals that there are an additional 91 Security Council resolutions about countries other than Iraq that are also currently being violated.

This raises serious questions regarding the Bush administration's insistence that it is motivated by a duty to preserve the credibility of the United Nations, particularly since the vast majority of the governments violating UN Security Council resolutions are close allies of the United States. A full list is available here.

What about Russia in Chechnya?

15.10.2002 20:03

Russia terror and oppresion of the people of Chechnya which has been going on for years now in which thousands of people have been brutally murdered, tortured and robbed by Russian troops has been overlooked completely by America, Britain and other NATO countries. When Milosevic carried out similar oppression in Kosovo NATO declared war on Serbia and sent in tens of thousands of troops as peace keepers. This just shows the total hypocracy of America and other western countries!

....and Putin will only back a US/UK attack on Iraq if Russia is given the green light to take this terror campaign from Chechnya into Georgia.
