No, not specific enough

Culling put it too broadly, Bātard, and therefore your answer was too broad too. Please cite or quote the statute and any relevant definitions. I'm sure that "The members of the UN agree not to engage in aggressive war" will turn out to be untrue, you see—either simply untrue, in that there's no such language in the treaty, or more likely untrue in that the definition(s) will turn out not to apply to the invasion of Iraq.

>The treaty that founded the UN? The members of the UN agree not to engage in aggressive war. Gulf War 2 was an aggressive war rather than a sanction.
