Mohammed al-Douri, PhD Biography |
| Title: |
Former Permanent Representative of the Republic of Iraq to the United Nations |
| Position: |
Con to the question "Should the US Have Attacked Iraq?" |
| Reasoning: |
"Rationale and wisdom calls us to question if there is a justification for the United States to launch a war against Iraq under the pretext of its worry about Iraq's possession of weapons of mass destruction even at a time when Iraq is under an ongoing monitoring and verification system...
The United States attack on Iraq will be the evidence of the failure of the international rule in its entirety which must relay on the United Nations charter as a reference indispensable in maintaining international peace and security."
"Statement of H.E. Dr. Mohammed Aldouri, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Iraq to the United Nations in the Security Council Open Meeting on the Situation in Iraq," Iraq Watch website, Feb. 18, 2003
