13 November Iraq Special Weapons News

  • Letter Submitted by Iraq to the United Nations 13 Nov 2002-- "Dealing with the inspectors, the government of Iraq will also take into consideration their way of conduct, the intentions of those who are ill-intentioned amongst them, and their improper approach in showing respect to the people's national dignity, their independence and security, and their country's security, independence and sovereignty. We are eager to see them perform their duties in accordance with the international law as soon as possible. If they do so, professionally and lawfully, without any premeditated intentions, the liars' lies will be exposed to public opinion, and the declared objective of the Security Council will be achieved. It will then become the lawful duty of the Security Council to lift the blockade and all the other unjust sanctions on Iraq."
  • Iraqi Ambassador says Baghdad accepts Security Council resolution on weapons inspections United Nations News Centre 13 Nov 2002-- The Iraqi Ambassador to the United Nations today reported that Baghdad has sent a letter to Secretary-General Kofi Annan indicating its acceptance of the return of weapons inspectors to the country under the terms of a new Security Council resolution.
  • BUSH IRAQ VOA 13 Nov 2002-- The White House has reacted to Iraq's acceptance of a tough new U-N disarmament resolution with a mix of skepticism and resolve
  • IRAQ / UN ACCEPT VOA 13 Nov 2002-- Iraq has sent a letter to the United Nations accepting a new resolution ordering Baghdad to disarm, setting the stage for a resumption of weapons inspections this month
  • First U.N. Report on Iraq Due Within 105 Days after November 8 Resolution Washington File 13 Nov 2002-- Boucher: The inspectors, therefore, will be preparing and then starting their inspections during that time. Well, see exactly when, but they are required to start their inspections no later than 45 days, I think, after the passage of the resolution, and then to report every 60 days thereafter to the Security Council. So no later than 105 days after passage of the resolution we should expect to get a report from the inspectors on how things are going.
  • Powell Warns Iraq Against Use of Non-Conventional Weapons Washington File 13 Nov 2002-- Speaks on ABC's "Nightline" November 12
  • Statement on Iraq - United States Conference of Catholic Bishops - November 13, 2002 -- Based on the facts that are known to us, we continue to find it difficult to justify the resort to war against Iraq, lacking clear and adequate evidence of an imminent attack of a grave nature. With the Holy See and bishops from the Middle East and around the world, we fear that resort to war, under present circumstances and in light of current public information, would not meet the strict conditions in Catholic teaching for overriding the strong presumption against the use of military force.
