Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The United States has taken the lead over the last ten years to compel Saddam Hussein and Iraq to comply with the resolutions imposed by the United Nations Security Council on Iraq following the Gulf War in 1991. This paper examines these resolutions, the success of the effort to enforce them, and then focuses primarily on the issue of economic sanctions. The humanitarian issue of these sanctions is addressed and arguments are presented for keeping the sanctions in place and for modifying them. A short analysis of these arguments is followed by a recommendation on whether to continue economic sanctions against Iraq.
