	The First Breach of the UN Charter - The United Nations and Israel
		Arab leaders were enraged when UN resolution 181 (the Partition Plan) was adopted on November 29, 1947 (the vote was 33 to 13, with 10 abstentions).
		The UN Palestine Commission reported to the Security Council on 16 February 1948: "Organized efforts are being made by strong Arab elements inside and outside Palestine to prevent the implementation of the Assembly's plan of partition and to thwart its objectives by threats and acts of violence, including armed incursions into Palestinian territory...
		UN Secretary-General Trygve Lie termed this act "the first armed aggression which the world had seen since the end of the [Second World] War." The Arab League actually included rejection of resolution 181 as a formal justification for its invasion, the first blatant breach of the UN Charter.

	Baseless Comparisons: UN Security Council Resolutions on Iraq and Israel - Dore Gold
		UN Security Council Resolution 242 from November 1967 is a Chapter VI resolution which, when taken together with Resolution 338, leads to an Israeli withdrawal from territories (not all the territories) that Israel entered in the 1967 Six-Day War, by means of a negotiated settlement between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
		It is noteworthy that in 1967, no UN body adopted a resolution branding Israel as the aggressor in the Six-Day War, despite Soviet efforts, for it was commonly accepted that Israeli actions were the result of a war of self-defense.
		UN Security Council Resolution 661 provided that no state was to trade in Iraqi oil; subsequently, the UN created, for humanitarian reasons, the oil-for-food program, which permitted Iraqi oil sales as long as the UN could strictly control the expenditure of any resulting oil revenues for food and medicine.

	Richard Falk, Future for UN Charter System of War Prevention (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Legal apologists for the initiative insisted that such authorization could be derived from prior UN Security Council resolutions, as well as from the willingness of the UN to manage the post-conflict civil reconstruction of Kosovo that amounted to a tacit assent, providing the undertaking with a retroactive certification of legality.
		The third step would be to amend the Charter to incorporate these changes as they pertain to the role and responsibility of the UN Security Council, and other multilateral frameworks and coalitions that undertake humanitarian interventions.
		The Charter System is not a legal prison that presents states with the dilemma of adherence (and defeat) and violation or disregard (and victory).

	The UN Charter: Then and Now
		In addition, the Charter’s drafters did not envision that one of the major powers—one of the victors of World War II and a UN founder—would begin acting outside of international law.
		The drafters may be surprised to see the UN intervening in areas related to the internal affairs of sovereign states.
		One of the modern developments the Charter did not imagine was the rise of powerful regional entities, like the European Union, which have been given some decision-making authority by their members.

		The United Nations Charter is a treaty of the United States, and as such forms part of the "supreme law of the land" under the Constitution, Article VI, Clause 2.
		Under the UN Charter, there are only two circumstances in which the use of force is permissible: in collective or individual self-defense against an actual or imminent armed attack; and when the Security Council has directed or authorized use of force to maintain or restore international peace and security.
		It is fundamental that the UN Charter, Article 2(3) and (4), gives priority to the peaceful settlement of disputes and the non-use of force.

	Memo on the Margin; The UN’s ‘Mommy Earth’ Charter; 09-05-00
		Hey, the whole idea of the UN is that it is the one place on the planet where even the fl sheep could come to state their case.
		The Earth Charter's advocates speak of it as though it were the "Magna Carta" of a new regime, but it's not a regime of freedom from arbitrary kings like King John at Runnymede in 1215.
		The Charter affirms that "all beings are interdependent" (i.e., personal freedom is irrelevant) and "every form of life has value regardless of its worth to human beings" (i.e., animals, plants and insects, but not unborn babies).

	Guardian \| Iraq war was illegal and breached UN charter, says Annan
		Mr Annan said that the invasion was not sanctioned by the UN security council or in accordance with the UN's founding charter.
		The UN chief had warned the US and its allies a week before the invasion in March 2003 that military action would violate the UN charter.
		No immediate comment was available from the White House late last night, but American officials have defended the war as an act of self-defence, allowed under the UN charter, in view of Saddam Hussein's supposed plans to build weapons of mass destruction.

	Defend the UN Charter
		Koffi Annan wants to impose on the UN the concept of a “qualified sovereignty”, rather than the right to national sovereignty that is inscribed in the UN Charter.
		The present Charter is based on the “sovereign equality of all nations” and says that “nothing authorises the UN to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state”.
		Although some alterations to the UN are called for as a result of the many changes in the world since the UN was formed in 1945, the basic principles of the UN Charter, particularly the sovereign rights of all countries, must be preserved.

		In an interview broadcast by the BBC, Annan declared explicitly that the U.S.-led invasion violated the UN charter and hence international law.
		Annan said in the interview that he believes the U.S.-led coalition preempted UN procedures by going to war without obtaining a second resolution specifically authorizing the forceful disarmament of Iraq.

		New York, Sept. 18 (NNN): The Iraq war demonstrated the need for addressing the issue of preventive action in the context of principles of United Nations Charter and showed the importance of joint efforts on use of force, according to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
		Responding to media questions about the Secretary-General's comments in a BBC interview, UN spokesman Fred Eckhard told reporters that in his remarks the Secretary-General had reiterated his well-known position that the military action against Iraq was not in conformity with the UN Charter.
		Powell added that he was sure he would have the opportunity to talk to Annan about the comments the UN chief made to the BBC on Wednesday.

	Iraq War was Illegal and Breached UN Charter, Says Annan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Mr Annan has until now kept a tactful silence and his intervention at this point undermines the argument pushed by Tony Blair that the war was legitimized by security council resolutions.
		No immediate comment was available from the White House late last night, but American officials have defended the war as an act of self-defense, allowed under the UN charter, in view of Saddam Hussein's supposed plans to build weapons of mass destruction.
		Mr Blair and Mr Straw tried to secure this second resolution early in 2003 in the run-up to the war but were unable to convince a skeptical security council.

		After all, what jurisdiction do U.N. bureaucrats have for sticking their nose into the U.S. gun control debate since the United States Constitution gives no authority of any kind to the U.N? Clearly, gun control (or more plainly called civilian disarmament, which is what concerned the founders) is prohibited by the Second Amendment.
		The fact of the matter is, the U.N. is increasingly assuming the jurisdictional authority of a federal world government with the U.S. as just one of scores of member states.
		In 1993, the UN Economic and Social Council granted consultant status to the International Gay and Lesbian Association which includes the North American Man/Boy Love Association (advocates of child molestation) and the Dutch group Vereniging Martijn (which also promotes use of children as sex objects).
