  United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Debate about Resolution 1441 therefore turns on whether, despite the absence of WMDs and the acceptance of inspections, Iraq failed to comply with the terms of the Resolution, and whether an invasion was justified in the absence of any further UN Security resolutions on the subject.
Iraq claimed that it had disposed of its anthrax stockpiles at a specific site, but UNMOVIC found this impossible to confirm since Iraq had not allowed the destruction to be witnessed by inspectors as required by the pertinent Resolutions.
The USA and Britain, while admitting that such a resolution was diplomatically desirable, insisted that Iraq had now been given enough time (noting also the time since the first disarmament resolutions of 1991) to disarm or provide evidence thereof, and that war was legitimized by 1441 and previous UN resolutions.

ARBIL, Iraq, June 11 (AFP) - 20h55 - The Kurdish parliament on Friday endorsed the new UN Security Council resolution on Iraq after political leaders earlier expressed anger over the document’s failure to mention Kurdish self-rule.
A special session of the parliament had been called amid complaints that the UN Security Council resolution 1546 adopted on Tuesday omitted any reference to Iraq’s interim constitution or fundamantal law that enshrines the Kurds right to self-rule in the north.
Kurds have been made nervous by the strong aversion of Iraq’s Shiite majority population to the fundamental law and the protections granted to the Kurds in the document.

The resolution as adopted states that when and if weapons inspectors are obstructed in their work, a report of such violations will be brought back to the Security Council for further action.
But Washington interprets the UN document as providing the U.S. a legal basis to go to war unilaterally if the Security Council fails to respond to Iraqi violations.
And even as the Arab league supported the resolution on weapons inspection, they too, emphasized that the Security Council vote was "not a pretext for another military action against Iraq." Although the Iraqi parliament refused to endorse the resolution, president Saddam Hussein, has agreed to renewed weapons inspections.
