The only thing I can find is that it was a vote 12 for and 1(Cuba) against. With Yemen and Ecuador abstaining. A couple of highly dubious websites say China also voted against it, but I don't think that's verifiable
I'm trying to find out who were the 12 countries that voted for Resolution 687.
Also, how does the UN decide which countries get a vote?
and did Saddam ever officially accept the cease-fire?
And is there a US government site where I can read up on "Iraq Liberation Act (Public Law 105-338)"

(I know it's a longshot that anyone will be able to answer any of these, but just it's worth a shot)

The first link in the source section will take you to the Security Council web site where you can navigate and retrieve all resolutions and their votes.
The second link listed in the source section is for the entire text of Public Law 105-338 (Iraq Liberation Act of 1998).
Hussein did not accept the findings in UN Security Resolution # 687 and the Council remained "seized" on the matter.
