Mexican Congress Slams US-British Raids on Iraq
The Mexican parliament, the Congress of the Union, unanimously passed a resolution Wednesday to condemn the United States and Britain for their recent air strikes against Iraq.
The resolution said the Mexican parliament opposes using force to settle international disputes and regional conflicts and the Iraqi issue should be settled within the framework of relevant resolutions of the Security Council of the United Nations.
The resolution also noted that Mexico abides by relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council and supports the UN's efforts to permanently solve the ten-year crisis.
US and British warplanes bombed Iraqi communications and air defense targets in the south of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad on February 16, the first attack on Baghdad since December 1998.
