According to the following document from MERIP, the US and Britain have referred
to UNSC 688 to justify their periodic bombing. In the forthcoming issue
of MERIP Marc Lynch of Williams College will have an article on the "Using
and Abusing the UN, Redux" (December).

Were there ever any specific UN resolutions giving authority for these
attacks? Or were they just carried out unilaterally by the US (and UK) to
punish Iraq for its "transgressions"?
