Headline Security Council Concludes Two-Day Debate on Military Action in Iraq; Need for Immediate Humanitarian Aid, Protection of Civilians Stressed 
Caption Description The Security Council concluded its first debate on Iraq since the beginning of hostilities on 19 March today, with many speakers calling for a halt to what they described as illegal aggression, while the United States and the United Kingdom defended the military action as necessary to disarm Iraq and authorized by existing Council resolutions.
Forty-five non-Council members spoke in the debate yesterday, with an additional 23 today, in a meeting called for by the Non-Aligned Movement of countries and the League of Arab States. The broad majority over the two days emphasized that the current war was a violation of international law and the United Nations Charter. Today, speakers after speaker, whether calling for an immediate end to the conflict or simply expressing the hope that it would soon end with few casualties, stressed the need to: protect Iraqi civilians; provide immediate humanitarian aid; ensure Iraq's territorial integrity; and adjust the Iraqi oil-for-food programme.
