Résumé du document

Spring 2003 evokes in everyone's mind the occidental division on the Iraqi issue between Russia, Europe and the United-States. It has paralysed the United Nations, founded in San Francisco (the 26th June 1945) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, founded in Washington in 1949.

Not only has he lied, but it also means that the other countries also knew all about it. [...]

[...] Concisely, the word “civilization” means a lasting situation. Today, “civilized” and “non-civilized” do not anymore designate two different kinds of states with different values and habits. Indeed, “civilization” is not opposed to “barbarity” but to “anti-civilization”. Today, terrorism is a threat for the existence of the different civilizations.

[...] Moreover, the invasion of Iraq makes of the US a criminal. This country has transgressed the right of nations, the right of people to dispose freely of themselves, the right of local authorities to dispose of their people Then, it has scoffed at the international institutions as the United Nations, NATO It is submitted to these institutions as the other members. Saying decide, I'm the referee!” is not sufficient to have an impartial judgement and to take decisions. Thus, when NATO interfered in Kosovo, four justifications were genuine: urgency, humanitarian aspect, democracy and international legality. [...]
