> Subject  URGENT: UN Res. 377 Can Stop War!
>
> Dear U.N. Ambassador,
>
> Please consider invoking UN Res. 377 "Uniting For Peace" to stop this
> unnecessary, unjust disastrous  war that Bush is trying to foist upon
> innocent Iraqis and the world.  The war will cause hundreds of thousands
> of deaths of innocents, trillions better spent on current human needs,
> instability,  increased terrorism, and possibly the seeds of WWIII.
> And it is totally unnecessary because Saddam is contained, has no
> proven connection to al-Queda, and is in the process of disarming.
>
> President Bush appears determined to wage war on Iraq despite the
> world's opposition, despite the progress of UN weapons inspectors,
> despite the likelihood that an unprovoked war will foment, rather than
> eliminate,terrorism.  The Bush Administration has threatened to attack
> Iraq even without the authority of the UN Security Council.
> This constitutes both a threat to world peace and to the very integrity
> of the UN as an institution dedicated to "the maintenance of
> international peace and security."  Time is running short.  This
> disastrous war must be prevented.
>
> Therefore, I urge you to band together with other nations in support of
> "Uniting for Peace" resolution against an unprovoked invasion of Iraq.
>
> As you know, Resolution 377, adopted by the UN in 1950, was made for
> situations precisely like this one.
>
> Uniting for Peace provides that if, because of the lack of unanimity of
> the permanent members of the Security Council (France, China, Russia,
> Britain,United States), the Council cannot maintain international peace
> where thereis a "threat to the peace, breach of the peace or act
> ofaggression," the General Assembly "shall consider the matter
> immediately.." The General Assembly can meet within 24 hours to consider
> such a matter, and can recommend collective measures to U.N. members
> including the use of armed forces to "maintain or restore international
> peace and security."
>
> Such a "Uniting for Peace" resolution could require that no military
> action be taken against Iraq without the explicit authority of the
> Security Council. It could mandate that the inspectors be permitted to
> complete their task. It seems unlikely that the United States and
> Britain would ignore such a measure. A vote by the majority of countries
> in the world, particularly if it were almost unanimous, would make the
> unilateral rush to war more difficult.
>
> Uniting for Peace can be invoked either by seven members of the Security
> Council or by a majority of the members of the General Assembly.
>
> Clearly, it our last best hope for fulfilling the mission stated in the
> UN Charter: to "save succeeding generations form the scourge of war."
>
> Please act now.  It's not too late.
>
> Sincerely,
