United States’ Illegal Occupation of Iraq
United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan’s statement that the Bush administration’s decision to go to war in Iraq was illegal because it didn’t have the Security Council’s approval should have been made before the invasion.
However, Annan’s admission of the illegality of that invasion only goes to confirm the illegality of the United States’ occupation of Iraq and why it is being resisted by many Iraqis.
The United Nations Charter allows nations to take military action with Security Council approval as an explicit enforcement action.
