That's the resolution the U.S., Britain, France (originally; subsequently I think they withdrew), and others agreed to in April 1991, and the legal grounds on which the NFZs were based. That is a fact, notwithstanding that there is room to interpret it differently. It isn't quite fair to say that the U.N. was not involved. It might be more accurate to say that current political forces have taken advantage of the U.N.'s involvement, but the U.N. was involved. |
Its accurate to say that this resolution doesn't mandate the creation of NFZs, as it doesn't even mention NFZs anywhere in it. Nor does any other UN resolution. Those are the facts. Your so called "facts" seem to consist of assumptions supporting your beliefs that have been manufactured out of whole cloth.
