FOI1502.pdf

Action plan denoting the importance of trying to gain UN support for the invasion.

Defends preparing a second resolution in the case of a first UN resolution in favour of the invasion of Iraq failing. Believes that a second resolution and acting quickly will ensure foreign support, accurate intelligence, and political legitimacy due to UN support.

Proposes an action plan which lays out the conditions for the second resolution. This demonstrates the multiple processes that invading forces went through in order to try and legitimise the invasion. UN approval holds international significance as it is a body that ensures the protection of state sovereignty, human rights, and international law.
