[casi] legal case




Hi all,

Who's to say what the best use of our time is at the moment? Not me.

But, at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2855975.stm, it says:

> 1353: Britain's Attorney-General Lord Goldsmith confirms in a written
> parliamentary statement that war on Iraq would be legal on the grounds
> of existing UN resolutions.

'confirms' seems to me to be a suspect choice of word. Glen's posting
from August at http://www.casi.org.uk/discuss/2002/msg01239.html, may be
helpful on this, although some of the arguments no longer work - eg that
now the SC has declared a material breach in 1441.

Best,
Jonathan
