UN unanimously adopts resolution on Iraq
UNITED NATIONS (*******) - The U.N. Security Council has voted unanimously for a U.S.-British resolution that
formally ends the occupation of Iraq on June 30 and authorises a U.S.-led force to keep the peace.
"It means full sovereignty for Iraq. It means a new age in hopefully very pleasant Iraqi history," said Iraq's new interim
president, Ghazi al-Yawar, who is visiting Washington.
The vote by the 15-nation council on Tuesday endorsed a "sovereign" interim Iraqi government and said the country's
new leaders had the right to order the international troops to leave at any time. The resolution makes clear the mandate
of the multinational force commanded by the Americans would expire, in any case, by the end of January 2006.
