>>>UN Resolution 1441 "clearly did not authorise the use of military force. It expressly said that if Saddam Hussein remained in material breach of prior Security Council resolutions, and 1441, there would be serious consequences.

"Those consequences were not spelt out. And what's important is that at the time Resolution 1441 was passed, China, Russia and France stated expressly that the resolution they were voting for did not authorise the use of force, and that the matter would have to come back to the Security Council.

"It's quite clear that the majority of Security Council members do not authorise the use of force.

"For that reason, my view, and the overwhelming view of international lawyers, is that the attack on Iraq is not in accord with international law." <<<
