Dear Dermot A superb resource for this and the legal issues generally is CND's legal opinion at http://www.cnduk.org/briefing/opinion.htm pages 4-7, including Negroponte's statement that 'As we have said on numberous occasions to Council members, this Resolution contains no "hidden triggers" and no "automaticity" with respect to the use of force' He also says that they will go back to the UNSC, but if it fails to act, 1441 would not contrain any member state from defending itself or acting to enforce UN resolutions. Similar statement from Greenstock there also.
