Security Council decided to maintain sweeping sanctions on Iraq, declaring that Baghdad’s latest refusal to cooperate with U.N. arms inspectors was “totally unacceptable.” This marked the 40th time that the council refused to lift the sanctions, imposed at the time of Iraq’s 1990 invasion of Kuwait.
