Inspectors, FN and USA by Dominique Monday March 17, 2003 at 01:24 PM |

Hans Blix said yesterday, in an interview on the swedish television att it is not the USA that decide when the inspectors must leave Irak. Hans Blix follow the orders of the UN and Koffi Hannan.
The problem now is at the US have a big influence on the FN process. What will do the inspectors if the US say "Now, we are begining the bombing of the iraki population!" and the UN say "You can't do that now!"? Will the UN say that if they know att the US are villing to begin the bombing?

" 'The United Nations is just an instrument at the service of American policy'
Will the United Nations still have any value as an institution if the United States and Britain decide to bypass it and attack Iraq without a resolution?
They went into Kosovo without a UN security council resolution and no one said anything... Look at it from the other side: could the security council condemn this illegal intervention? No, because the United States will use its veto right or pressurise other member states to vote against a condemnation, so that there is no majority vote."
