Was the US ever authorized to enforce no-fly zones over Iraq in the 1990s?

Question

Did Iraq agree to it?
Was it in the Gulf War ceasefire?
Did the Security Council ever authorize it?

Answer 1

I don't know, but it WAS part of keeping Saddam under control, and the entire effort by the Clinton administration seemed to work.

Answer 2

Yes, it was apart of the Gulf War Cease Fire to protect the Iraqi Minorities in the North and the South from further attempts to destroy the population by Saddam.
Saddam signed the Cease Fire, agreeing to it. The Security Council did authorize it, the UN established the "Safe Havens" enforced by these No-Fly Zones.

The No-Fly Zones could realistically be seen as a continuation of the Gulf War Conflict, since Saddam did not stand by the terms of the aggreement. There were routine attacks on US and UK planes patrolling the N0-Fly Zone and retaliations. Though none on any real significance.

Answer 3

I had no concept in the previous. thanks for posting this Q The Iraqi no-fly zones (NFZs) were proclaimed by technique of u . s . a ., uk and France after the Gulf warfare of 1991 to guard humanitarian operations in northern Iraq and Shiite Muslims contained in the south. Iraqi airplane were forbidden from flying contained in the zones. The coverage replaced into enforced by technique of US, uk and French airplane patrols until eventually France withdrew in 1998. at the same time as the imposing powers had suggested United countries safe practices Council determination 688 as authorising the operations, the determination contains no such authorization. The Secretary-customary of the UN on the time the determination replaced into handed, Boutros Boutros-Ghali said as the no-fly zones "unlawful" in a later interview with John Pilger

Answer 4

I don't know. But Iraq was to be kept in check. Come on , Saddam started an eight year war with Iran and in 1990, he decided to attack Kuwait. And seriously, even though I am a fan of the UN, I still think it exists just to make things look nice for everyone else to digest.

Answer 5

They were part of the UN agreement after the last disagreement with Saddam. It does not make any difference anyway. That is all past. As far as the security council authorizing it, I shudder to think that we would need an authorization for anything by those bastards.

Answer 6

Iraq agreed to it as part of the surrender, and it was backed by the UN. Stupid Bill let it go. Saddam was thumbing his nose at us by the end of the Clinton administration because Bill was to preoccupied with Monica's mouth.
