UN lifts Iraq sanctions

**-Sauso-** · 12-15-10, 11:47 AM

Yay for unstable countries.

The UN Security Council on Wednesday lifted sanctions that prohibited Iraq from pursuing a civilian nuclear program, in a symbolic step to restore the country to the international standing it held before Saddam Hussein's 1990 invasion of Kuwait.

Iraq's constitution bars the country from acquiring weapons of mass destruction and the country is a party to the main nuclear, chemical, biological and missile treaties. The resolution, adopted unanimously, also lifted sanctions that barred Iraq from acquiring nuclear, chemical or biological weapons and long-range missiles.

Yes 4000+ troops died to create a free iraq. Small price to pay for the 24 million people it effects.

Actually the new members are: Colombia, Germany, India, Portugal and South Africa, replacing: Austria, Japan, Mexico, Turkey and Uganda. and to add, "Ten non-permament members, elected by the General Assembly for two-year terms and not eligible for immediate re-election."

Also, if a member of the SC has resolutions pending against them, they are suspended from the ability to vote, and in extreme cases can be removed.

10 countries with a new role.
You listed the 5 with the two year stint.
Whatever five you look at is laughable.
