Statement on Situation in Iraq, New York, 17 December 1998 The Movement of Non-aligned Countries deplores the ongoing military actions against Iraq by individual countries without any authorization from the Security Council in flagrant disregard of the United Nations Charter. The Movement emphasises that the full implementation of all relevant Security Council resolutions by all Parties constitute the only means of establishing a durable peace, security and stability in the region. The Movement urgently calls for a peaceful solution to the crisis that the region currently faces, which it believes will contribute positively to the promotion and preservation of peace and security, within the principles and purposes of the United Nations. In this regard the Movement calls on all sides to continue efforts aimed at a peaceful settlement under the auspices of the Security Council, including an active role for the Secretary-General of the United Nations. The Movement further calls for the immediate cessation of all military strikes and the avoidance of any actions that might further aggravate tension in the region.
