DRAFT PROTEST TO THE UN SECR. GENERAL
Kofi Annan,
Secretary-General
United Nations
New York,
Your Excellency,
We have just learned with dismay that you have requested UN
monitoring
personnel to leave Iraq as a result of threats by the United
States to
commit aggression against Iraq.
By requesting UN personnel to leave Iraq, you have in fact
submitted to
United States blackmail against the United Nations and given a
green light
for the commission of an act of aggression in breach of the
Charter.
We kindly wish to draw your attention to the fact that thousands
of
civilians who are not UN personnel might be killed by such
aggression. You
did not offer these people to save their lives by leaving Iraq. By
your act
of cowardice you are implying that their lives are less worth than
UN
personnel.
While the United States, by levelling threats against Iraq, is
already
committing a breach of the Charter, your decision to remove UN
personnel
from Iraq in view of these threats, may mark the final moral
demise of the
United Nations organisation as an independent organisation.
We urgently ask you to reconsider your decision to remove UN
personnel from
Iraq in response to US threats against Iraq and make it abundantly
clear to
the United States that any aggression against Iraq would
constitute an
aggression against the United Nations Organisation and its
personnel and a
breach of the Charter.
Sincerely
yours,
-------------------------------------------------------------------
