That this House welcomes the progress that has been made to implement UN Resolution 1441; recognises that the realistic threat of overwhelming military force has been a key element in securing the return of UN weapons inspectors; considers that they still have a great deal of important work to do; urges the Government of Iraq to comply with every requirement of Resolution 1441; continues to believe that there can be a peaceful and effective resolution of this crisis and recommends to the United Nations that it will enhance its standing and the solidarity of nations by exercising humanity and firm principle without rushing to war.
