WAR ON IRAK

The Institute for Policy Studies: Beyond the Rhetoric: Institute for Public Accuracy - Facts and
Interviews on UN Security Council Resolutions

The Institute for Policy Studies is releasing a report today --
"Coalition of the Willing or Coalition of the Coerced?" -- which charges that
member representatives on the U.N. Security Council are being recruited
through coercion, bullying, and bribery. Anderson is a fellow at IPS
specializing in global economy issues, Bennis is a Mideast and U.N. expert and
Cavanagh is the director of the organization. The report is available at:
www.ips-dc.org/coalition.htm. The Bush administration has repeatedly
cited violations of UN Security Council resolutions as key reasons for its
policy on Iraq. But several nations have Security Council resolutions pending
against them, including Indonesia, Armenia and Croatia. And the
violators with the most Security Council resolutions -- more than Iraq -- are
Israel (over 30), Turkey (over 20) and Morocco (over 15). A partial listing of
UN Security Council resolutions being violated by U.S. allies is available
