Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 10 page paper argues that the U.S. invasion of Iraq can be justified by interpreting Security Council Resolutions 660, 678 and 1441 in light of the Vienna Convention, which sees them as treaties.

1990). Resolution 678 is equally short and was passed the same year. It simply says that "despite all efforts of the United Nations, Iraq refuses to comply with its obligation
to implement resolution 660 (1990)" as well as other resolutions that had been passed in the meantime (Resolution 678, 1990). Failure to comply with the Resolution has put Iraq in
"flagrant contempt of the Security Council" (Resolution 678, 1990). The Security Council now demands that Iraq comply with Resolution 660, and is giving it "one final opportunity, as a pause
