RECALLING also its Resolution 1382 (2001) of 29 Nov. 2001 and its intention to implement it fully.
RECOGNIZING the threat Iraq's noncompliance with Council resolutions and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and long-range missiles poses to international peace and security,
RECALLING that its Resolution 678 (1990) authorized member states to use all necessary means to uphold and implement its Resolution 660 (1990) of 2 Aug. 1990 and all relevant resolutions subsequent to Resolution 660 (1990) and to restore international peace and security in the area,
FURTHER RECALLING that its Resolution 687 (1991) imposed obligations on Iraq as a necessary step for achievement of its stated objective of restoring international peace and security in the area,
DEPLORING the fact that Iraq has not provided an accurate, full, final and complete disclosure, as required by Resolution 687 (1991), of all aspects of its programs to develop weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles with a range greater than 150 kilometers, and of all holdings of such weapons, their components and production facilities and locations, as well as all other nuclear programs, including any which it claims are for purposes not related to nuclear-weapons-usable material,
DEPLORING FURTHER that Iraq repeatedly obstructed immediate, unconditional and unrestricted access to sites designated by the United Nations Special Commission (Unscom) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (I.A.E.A.), failed to cooperate fully and unconditionally with Unscom and I.A.E.A. weapons inspectors, as required by Resolution 687 (1991), and ultimately ceased all cooperation with Unscom and the I.A.E.A. in 1998,
DEPLORING the absence, since December 1998, in Iraq of international monitoring, inspection, and verification, as required by relevant resolutions, of weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles, in spite of the Council's repeated demands that Iraq provide immediate, unconditional and unrestricted access to the United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (Unmovic), established in Resolution 1284 (1999) as the successor organization to Unscom, and the I.A.E.A., and regretting the consequent prolonging of the crisis in the region and the suffering of the Iraqi people,
DEPLORING ALSO that the government of Iraq has failed to comply with its commitments pursuant to Resolution 687 (1991) with regard to terrorism, pursuant to Resolution 688 (1991) to end repression of its civilian population and to provide access by international humanitarian organizations to all those in need of assistance in Iraq, and pursuant to Resolutions 686 (1991), 687 (1991), and 1284 (1999) to return or cooperate in accounting for Kuwaiti and third-country nationals wrongfully detained by Iraq, or to return Kuwaiti property wrongfully seized by Iraq,
RECALLING that in its Resolution 687 (1991), the Council declared that a cease-fire would be based on acceptance by Iraq of the provisions of that resolution, including the obligations on Iraq contained therein,
DETERMINED to ensure full and immediate compliance by Iraq without conditions or restrictions with its obligations under Resolution 687 (1991) and other relevant resolutions, and recalling that the resolutions of the Council constitute the governing standard of Iraqi compliance,
RECALLING that the effective operation of Unmovic, as the successor organization to the Special Commission, and the I.A.E.A. is essential for the implementation of Resolution 687 (1991) and other relevant resolutions,
