Adopted by the Security Council at its 2933rd meeting on 6 August 1990

The Security Council,

Reaffirming its resolution 660 (1990) of 2 August 1990,

1. Determines that Iraq so far has failed to comply with paragraph 2 of resolution 660 (1990) and has usurped the authority of the legitimate Government of Kuwait;

4. Decides that all States shall not make available to the Government of Iraq or to any commercial, industrial or public utility undertaking in Iraq or Kuwait, any funds or any other financial or economic resources and shall prevent their nationals and any persons within their territories from removing from their territories or otherwise making available to that Government or to any such undertaking any such funds or resources and from remitting any other funds to persons or bodies within Iraq or Kuwait, except payments exclusively for strictly medical or humanitarian purposes and, in humanitarian circumstances, foodstuffs;

5. Calls upon all States, including States non-members of the United Nations, to act strictly in accordance with the provisions of the present resolution notwithstanding any contract entered into or licence granted before the date of the present resolution;

6. Decides to establish, in accordance with rule 28 of the provisional rules of procedure of the Security Council, a Committee of the Security Council consisting of all the members of the Council, to undertake the following tasks and to report on its work to the Council with its observations and recommendations:

(a) To take appropriate measures to protect assets of the legitimate Government of Kuwait and its agencies;

(b) Not to recognize any regime set up by the occupying Power;

10. Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Council on the progress of the implementation of the present resolution, the first report to be submitted within thirty days;

Thats the thing, I can't make all that much heads or tails from this resolution aside from this is a resolution, and Saddam did some bad things. Like it seems to be to me eyes rather vague in what cannot be traded between Iraq and a third party, or a company within Iraq and a third party.

Drudge.HAHAHAHA!!!!! You sounded like some baseball team who lost the game but refuses defeat and insist on going back to analyze how the runs were scored and were the runs scored fairly. [grin][grin][grin]

First off did you know that China is leading the 6 Party Talks and that the US has been thankful for China's cooperation in regards to North Korea?

What do you expect US to say? US is saying to China, "we believed in one-China policy", think they meant well? If China is telling the world there are no such thing as human rights violations in China, we are suppose to believe it?

Next armored piercing ammunition Chinese or otherwise can come from anywhere, not just China. The article clearly says that there is no evidence that Beijing is responsible for the trading of weapons and ammunition to insurgents.

---

Twist all you want. The armor piercing shells were Chinese made. China might not be directly trading ammo to the insurgent. But they sure know damn well where these ammo will end up after selling it to Iran.

Next, Prove that China has had done anything to do with Saddam Hussein during sanction that were "illegal".

Oh....how about laying fiber optic lines for starters? Do a search.

Next "I" don't have to prove anything, your trying to pass off your incompetent ability to argue because your unable to do any research or come up with any evidence to backup your claims. You seem to forget a notion known as plausible deniability, it is possible they came from the previous war, it is possible they came from Russia, it is possible they came from Iran, and so far without any evidence that China is responsible for their falling into the hands of insurgents which your article clearly lacks you cannot prove that China is responsible, I do not have to prove otherwise, your lack of proof is proof enough.

---

Still waiting for you to show me a credible link saying that the Chinese made weapons are remnants from the Iran/Iraq War, Vietnam War, or from the Russians. You wanted me to show a link that the weapons were Chinese made and I've done my part, where's yours? Again, you're talking the talk.

Since they specify "financial or economic resources", they almost certainly mean to include goods, services, and capital in the transaction ban. Those are the three classic economic resources, after all.

---

Most likely, but I wouldn't be too surprised if there's a specific definition, so I didn't want to be too general.

Plus, given that Iraq did not produce all the goods in the fiber optic network, 3(c) applies for sure, so I don't need to worry too much about precisely interpreting 4.
