Iraq

Security Council Rejects Proposal

World IN BRIEF

June 15, 1996|From Times Wire Services

The U.N. Security Council rejected Baghdad's proposal to impose conditions on U.N. weapons inspections, calling Iraq's refusal to admit U.N. monitors to sensitive facilities a "flagrant violation" of the Persian Gulf War cease-fire. The council repeated its demand that Iraq grant U.N. inspectors "immediate, unconditional and unrestricted access" to suspected weapons facilities. But the council statement did not include any threats of force if Iraq refuses to comply. The statement came as inspectors in Baghdad spent their fourth day camped outside a suspected weapons facility.
