Kofi Annan declares Iraq war illegal ?????
TV BBC2 Newsnight has just reported breaking news that : "Kofi Annan has declared that the war in Iraq is illegal and that elections cannot beheld there while the unrest continues."
I hope I've got the words right but am not certain. Has anyone got anything definite on this story ?

Don't know, but here's a link about some interpretations of a speech he made:
http://www.cincypost.com/2004/09/10/dyer091004.html
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')nd this is what the Ghanaian-born diplomat said at the U.N.'s General Assembly meeting last September, just six months after the United States, Britain and Australia invaded Iraq:
"Until now it has been understood that when states decide to use force to deal with broader threats to international peace and security, they need the unique legitimacy provided by the United Nations. Now, some say this understanding is no longer tenable, since an armed attack with weapons of mass destruction could be launched at any time, without warning, or by a clandestine group. Rather than wait for this to happen, they argue, states have the obligation to use force preemptively, even on the territory of other states.
"This logic represents a fundamental challenge to the principles on which world peace and stability have rested for the last 58 years.''
Many people saw Kofi Annan as an American pawn when he was elected secretary-general, and he certainly was the U.S. choice for the job, but what he was actually saying in that speech, in thinly disguised diplomatic code, was that the new U.S. doctrine of preemptive war against potentially threatening groups and countries is illegal and a danger to world peace

The above report is fully confirmed by an interview with K.A. that has just gone out on BBC News 24 at 1.05 am today 16th Sept.
I don't know how to get a copy or a transcript of the interview, but if anyone else can then please post. It's an historic document just as an inditement of the Bush regime, let alone for the development of Iraqi democracy.

Jato - maybe you need to broaden your circle of acquaintance ?
In practical terms the UN is the one forum offering an alternative to the present diktat of the least scrupulous. Imperfect, underpowered, much abused, can only do what its member govt.s allow it to do, and so on. Amongst myriad other achievements in the past, it is the entity that will eliminate polio in the coming years.
In the USA I understand that it has consistently been slagged by the commercial media for decades now, with God knows what misinformation being circulated (black helicopters over Alabama, world domination plans, etc).
In my view, rather like President Carter, anything that gets that bad a press in the corporate media deserves a careful look. From my own travels and working contacts I know the UN is viewed as central to future global wellbeing both by govt.s and peoples other than the USA.
For example, in two years travelling (on a research project) in South & Central America, I always dressed carefully for avoiding time-wasting at borders, with a very old well-cut bush jacket, a clean shirt and a tie with the UN logo. Only once out of a score or more of border crossings was I not waved through: I didn't have the tie on. The customs man opened my case, saw the tie (logo up) on a white shirt, nodded, closed the case and waved me on.
So I guess I know quite a lot of people who don't think the UN is a joke.
So, with no offense intended, maybe you need to broaden your circle of acquaintance ?
regards,

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('backstop', 'J')ato - maybe you need to broaden your circle of acquaintance ?
I live in San Diego (as apparently Jato does), and I don't think the UN is a joke. Maybe Jato just doesn't get out that often.
The "UN is a joke meme" is one that has spread quite broadly in the US. It seems to primarily infect Republicans and Libertarians. The cynicism associated with this meme often co-resides with other memes, e.g. the justice system a joke, lawyers are are joke, etc. Hubris also often infects individuals who infected with the above-mentioned memes.

You know, this is a bit off the point, but if one does a Google news search, there seems to be a definite pattern to the headlines regarding this statement.
Outside of the U.S. the headlines mostly say simply:
"Iraq War Illegal, says Annan" or "UN Chief Says Iraq War Illegal"
inside the US, the headlines are twisted into:
"UN Chief Says Iraq War, With No Security Council Approval, Illegal"
to help make Americans think: "We can declare war whenever we want, who cares what the blue helmets think!"
HArd to believe?, I'll post a dangerously long list of headlines to suggest otherwise:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he "UN is a joke meme" is one that has spread quite broadly in the US. It seems to primarily infect Republicans and Libertarians.
That explains it. I am a anti-GW Bush Republican with strong Libertarian leanings. Additionally, I am surrounded by Republicans.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') live in San Diego (as apparently Jato does), and I don't think the UN is a joke. Maybe Jato just doesn't get out that often.
You got that right! :D
