	UN Security Council resolutions relating to Iraq
		Earlier drafts of this resolution are as follows: the US/UK drafts of 2 October 2002, 25 October 2002 and 5 November 2002; the Russian draft and the French draft of 23 October 2002.
		The subsequent exchange of letters between the UN and Iraq, agreeing to the continuation of the programme under the terms of this resolution, is dated 5 July 2001.
		In effect, this resolution reassigns some of the practical responsibility for monitoring compliance with sanctions away from the UN machinery, in the form of the 661 committee, and to the States imposing the naval blockade.

		The adoption of the resolution came after eight weeks of intense negotiation, much of which focused on a French demand that war should not be the automatic result of a failure by Iraq to abide by the resolution.
		The resolution, which gives inspectors "immediate, unimpeded and unconditional" rights to search anywhere in the country for weapons of mass destruction, must be accepted or rejected by Iraq within seven days.
		Syria had said the resolution set conditions Baghdad could never meet, but changed its mind after assurances from the US and Britain that it would not be used as a pretext to attack Iraq.

	2003 invasion of Iraq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Force was not authorized by resolution 1441 itself, as the language of the resolution mentioned "serious consequences," which the majority of Security Council members argued did not include the use of force to overthrow the government; however the threat of force, as cultivated by the Bush administration, was prominent at the time of the vote.
		Resolution 1441 threatened "serious consequences" if these are not met and reasserted demands that UN weapons inspectors that were to report back to the UN Security Council after their inspection should have "immediate, unconditional, and unrestricted access" to sites of their choosing, in order to ascertain compliance.
		Iraq was subsequently marked by violent conflict between U.S.-led soldiers and forces described by the occupiers as insurgents.

		AFT supports the U.N. resolution with the hope that war can be avoided, but with the sober recognition that military conflict may become unavoidable as a last resort.
		It is a moral and practical imperative that any international military action in Iraq must be followed by a comprehensive and fully funded international program to rebuild the nation's infrastructure, along the lines of the post-World War II Marshall Plan for Europe.
		If armed conflict with Iraq is used as an excuse for a lack of attention to domestic needs and the erosion of civil rights in our country, it will weaken our body politic when national unity is needed.

	Democrats consider alternative resolution on Iraq - Salon
		With Republicans pushing to begin debate on a White House proposal authorizing the use of force in Iraq as early as next week, some Senate Democrats said Tuesday they have serious concerns about the resolution President Bush sent to Congress and are working on an alternative, less open-ended resolution.
		Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Paul Wellstone, D-Minn., are said to be drafting language that may be introduced as an amendment to the White House's resolution, but Wellstone said Tuesday the Democrats had not yet decided whether it was tactically wiser to try to amend the resolution or present an alternative one.
		And while the White House has been claiming it hopes to "depoliticize" the Iraq debate, no one there seems to be shedding any tears while watching a split Democratic caucus arm-wrestle over Iraq, instead of beating up on the White House's economic record with a unified voice.
