UN only way to deal with Iraq, says Cox
The Munster MEP was yesterday declared the winner of the annual award by the European Movement for his outstanding achievements as the first Irish president of the European Parliament, as well as his campaigning in favour of a Yes vote during last year’s Nice Treaty referendum.
Mr Cox used the occasion to issue a veiled attack against any unilateral action by the US and Britain against Saddam Hussein, describing the UN as “the rock” upon which any solution must be based. He opposed other proposals being suggested in the absence of a new UN resolution.
