The Russian Foreign Minister says that the UN Security Council resolution regarding Iraq prevents the danger of war. Igor Ivanov, the Russian Foreign Minister, stated today in Moscow that the resolution passed on Friday paves the way for a diplomatic solution to the Iraq crisis and the lifting of sanctions imposed on the country. Meanwhile, Jeremy Greenstock, the British Ambassador to the United Nations, said in an interview with the BBC that if the UN weapons inspectors feel that Iraq is creating problems for inspections, another new resolution will likely be needed. He noted that the recent resolution does not specify whether another resolution would be necessary if the inspectors are unable to continue their work. On Friday, the Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution demanding that Iraq destroy its biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons or face serious consequences for non-compliance.
