In particular, it is not clear if all Security Council resolutions are binding are only those adopted under Chapter VII of the UN Charter ("Action with Respect to Threats to the Peace, Breaches of the Peace, and Acts of Aggression").

United Nations Resolution on Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources Violation of the rights of peoples and nations to sovereignty over their natural wealth and resources is contrary to the spirit and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and hinders the development of international co-operation and the maintenance of peace. The right of peoples and nations to permanent sovereignty over their natural wealth and resources must be exercised in the interest of their national development and of the well-being of the people of the State concerned. The exploration, development and disposition of such resources, as well as the import of the foreign capital required for these purposes, should be in conformity with the rules and conditions which the peoples and nations freely consider to be necessary or desirable with regard to the authorization, restriction or prohibition of such activities. www.taiwandocuments.org /un1803-XVII.htm

The Peace Encyclopedia: United Nations Yet if anything is "absolutely intolerable," it is that the international community has allowed slavery and other crimes against humanity to be institutionalized by a member state of the United Nations. And since obligations are generally honored in the breech, an appropriate role for the United States would be to insist that the Arab states, and the Palestinian leadership, change both their behavior and their propaganda as a prerequisite to changes to the borders of Israel. That Resolution, the bedrock legal reference contained in the 1993 Declaration of Principles, is said by the Palestinians to require Israel to leave the entire West Bank. www.yahoodi.com /peace/un.html

Deep Disappointment with United Nations Resolution on Racism< This marks a significant step backward from the United Nations' landmark recognition of anti-Semitism as a form of racism which is a bellwether of freedom and religious tolerance for all minority groups. We are writing to raise serious concerns about the resolution under consideration by the United Nation's Third Committee regarding racism, and follow-up to the World Conference Against Racism, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance. Nations of Europe spoke clearly and unequivocally, during the Durban preparatory process, about the unique role this scourge has played across many regions for many centuries. www.adl.org /Anti_semitism/ambassadors_111802.asp

International Law - War in Iraq - United Nations - Iraq Whether the United States chooses to continue to pursue this path or not has serious implications for the future of international law and the United Nations. Resolution 678, passed on Nov. 29, 1990, authorized member states to "use all necessary means to uphold and implement Resolution 660 (1990) and all subsequent relevant resolutions and to restore international peace and security in the area." (Resolution 660, passed on Aug. 2, 1990, demanded that Iraq withdraw from Kuwait.) Paragraph 4 of the resolution makes clear that false statements, omissions, and failures to cooperate with the requirements of the resolution will be considered a material breach of Iraq's obligations and will be reported to the council for assessment in accordance with paragraphs 11 and 12. www.worldpress.org /specials/iraq

UN General Assembly Resolution 3379 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379 (November 10, 1975)( http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/UN/unga3379.html) However, under pressure from the United States, under George W. Bush 's administration, the phrase was omitted from the agenda of the United Nations Conference on Racism in Durban, South Africa, and its final communiqué. The Israeli ambassador immediately condemned the resolution: "For us, the Jewish people, this resolution based on hatred, falsehood and arrogance, is devoid of any moral or legal value." en.wikipedia.org /wiki/UN_Resolution_3379

United Nations - NSwiki, the NationStates encyclopedia The NationStates United Nations is also forbidden from maintaining an army or directly intervening in wars, though its members are encouraged to aid each other in time of need.

Townhall.com :: Columns :: United Nations redux? by Mona Charen The United States and Great Britain were feverishly maneuvering to secure a United Nations resolution authorizing war with Iraq. Profits to the United Nations are estimated to be in the neighborhood of $1 billion. But when matters of national interest, war and peace, or human rights are at issue, the United Nations should have no role at all. www.townhall.com /columnists/monacharen/mc20030516.shtml

U.S. Hails United Nations Antiterrorist Resolution The United States is committed to work with the United Nations and individual governments to implement measures covered by the document, the note said. The United States has welcomed the adoption by the U.N. Security Council of an anti-terrorism resolution clarifying and strengthening international sanctions on Al-Qaida, the Taliban and their associates. Resolution 1617 carries forward a consolidated list of terrorists tied to the Taliban, Usama bin Laden, and Al-Qaida.  Inclusion on the list triggers international obligations upon all UN member countries, requiring them to freeze the assets and prevent the travel of listed individuals and to block the sale of arms and military equipment. usinfo.state.gov /xarchives/display.html?p=washfile-english&y=2005&m=August&x=20050804111355SAikceinawz0.806164&t=livefeeds/wf-latest.html

Palestine On Saturday, the United States abstained from voting on a United Nations resolution which condemned the "excessive use of force" against Palestinians by Israeli forces. Political analysts at the United Nations believe that if the United States was allowed to continue in its one-sided support of the Zionist regime it was bound to encounter the outrage of the Islamic ummah and the prospect of irreparable damage. By deciding not to use its veto power, the United States in fact turned the eyes of world public opinion on the legitimacy of the Palestinian outcry. www.irna.com /Palestine/e51.htm

United Nations Resolution 181 - An OU/IPA Action Alert An extremely dangerous resolution was recently passed in Geneva by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights calling for Palestinian self-determination on the basis of the 1947 United Nations Partition Resolution 181. What is most shocking is that this resolution has been supported by many of the European nations, particularly by the member nations of the European Union who play an influential role in the peace process due to their good relationship with the Palestinians. The leadership of the Orthodox Union and its member synagogues are urged to write letters strongly objecting to the passage of this resolution, calling attention to its anti-Israel bias, and pointing out that, since 181 was superseded by the cease-fire lines of 1949 and subsequent UN resolutions and intervention agreements, it is null and void. www.ou.org /public/actionalerts/1999/res181-99.htm

BlueStarPR: Like the Navajos (b) Resolution 3379 declared that "Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination," and marked the height of the escalation of an anti-Israel and anti-Semitic campaign in the United Nations. The United Nations is indeed guilty of playing into the hands of Satan who will, during the Great Tribulation, organize a worldwide invasion of Israel. Resolution 3379 was repealed in 1991 by a vote of 111 in favor, 25 against (including almost all the Arab and Muslim states) and 13 abstentions. www.bluestarpr.com /000038.php

Canadian Friends ICEJ Spearheaded Successful Campaign To Revoke UN Resolution 3379 - The United Nations and Israel The goal of the Arab-Soviet bloc regarding Resolution 3379 was, and is, to undermine the ideological basis of the State of Israel and its standing among nations, and thereby have Israel cast out of the community of nations and negate its very right to exist. Resolution 3379 was a crowning move in a well-planned strategy by anti-Zionists to de-legitimize the State of Israel before attempting to dismember it. Resolution 3379 is a patently untrue and unjust statement, and shames the name and reputation of the U.N. There is no adequate solution except to rescind Resolution 3379. www.cdn-friends-icej.ca /un/anti3379.html
