Resolution Breaking Did Not Make Iraq War Legal, Blix Tells Paper

[05/March/2004]

ondon,(Saba)- Baghdad's breaking of United Nations resolutions did not make the Iraq war legal, former chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix said on Friday.
He said it would have required a second U.N. Security Council resolution explicitly authorizing the use of force for the invasion to have been legal.
British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw hit back, saying former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's repeated violations of U.N. resolutions justified the conflict.
