U.N. chief says Iraq war was illegal
Britain, Australia and a former U.S. official, stung by criticism from U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, have insisted that their countries’ military action in Iraq was legal.
All three governments face elections in the near future and have had to grapple with varying degrees of public disquiet about their decision to wage war against Saddam Hussein.
Speaking to the BBC on Wednesday, Annan said the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq was illegal as it violated the U.N. Charter.
