From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2003 United States-British-Spanish Draft Resolution on Iraq was, according to Ambassador John_Negroponte, "a resolution to have the Council decide that Iraq is not complying, is out of compliance, with Resolution 1441". The draft was initially introduced on February 24, 2003 and amended on March 7, 2003 to set a March 17 deadline for Iraq to demonstrate "full, unconditional, immediate and active cooperation in accordance with its disarmament obligations." The widely discussed UN resolution was not brought up for formal vote after it became clear that it would not have passed.
