Anonymous writes "WPCNR WHITE PLAINS VOICE. From Westchester United Nations Association. January 15, 2002:After discussing the current situation concerning the possibility of war with Iraq at its meeting on January 13, 2003, the Westchester Chapter Board of Directors voted to support the following statement by the Steering Committee of the UNA-USA Council of Chapters and Divisions. The Council represents some 175 Chapters across the country and the Steering Committee is its executive body.
Statement on the Iraq Situation - January 2003
”A. We are gravely concerned about the possibility of U.S. military action against Iraq and the possible worldwide human costs of such action. We urge President Bush to remain steadfast in his decision to work through the United Nations.
B. We believe matters of international peace and security concerning Iraq must include the participation of the Security Council in accordance with the United Nations Charter and international law.
C. We believe there should be no U.S. military action in the absence of a clear and imminent threat. We believe any action toward war needs to be justified with verifiable evidence.
D. We believe that anti-personnel landmines should not be used under any circumstances in the Middle East or in other conflict areas.
E. We further believe that the use of biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons should be banned in all conflict areas and that the terms of existing international treaties concerning these weapons should be universally applied.
F. We believe that the presence of U.N. weapons inspectors helps achieve the goal of disarming Iraq and that their presence should be continued as long as possible for that purpose.
G. We believe that ways other than military action to ensure compliance by Iraq with all relevant Security Council resolutions should be thoroughly explored through the U.N. Security Council.
H. We believe that the current crisis regarding the Israeli/Palestinian conflict has a direct bearing on the situation concerning Iraq, and the resolution of that crisis should be energetically pursued with active leadership from the diplomatic quartet (the European Union, the United States, the Russian Federation, and the United Nations).”
