Kofi Annan Declares War in Iraq Illegal

Earlier this month, United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan spoke on the war in Iraq, and ultimately deemed it illegal. According to Annan, the United States and its allies did not follow standard UN charters and protocol before the initial invasion of Iraq. Proper procedure would have included more UN resolutions regarding Iraq’s supposed weapons of mass destruction. The lesson in all this, Annan has concluded, is “it’s best to work together with our allies and through the UN.”
