Sanctions Against Iraq
The UN Security Council imposed comprehensive economic sanctions against Iraq on August 6, 1990. Widely criticized because of the harsh sanctions' impact, the US and the UK staunchly opposed lifting. Soon after the second Gulf War, Washington pushed the Security Council to lift the sanctions, a step that gave the US occupation authority control over Iraq's oil. This section covers a wide range of sanction issues, including the humanitarian impact, the Oil-for-Food Programme and the debate that took place about the sanctions' termination.
