Get it. The UNSC SHALL DETERMINE - not the USA or George Bush or John Howard or anyone else - the Security Council shall determine the existence of any threat to the peace

What shall the Security Council determine and for what purpose and on what authority and furthermore, what power does it possess to enforce its determination?
ANSWER: The Security Council shall determine, whatever, for the purposes of executing a decision so that it may influence, to the degree that it is able, some resolution where the council itself can come to agreement on a particular course of action. However, the Security Council is a committee of opposing forces and rarely comes to agreement on anything... thus where the Security Council does not agree, a resolution cannot be determined and thus the issue continues to fester... THIS is why no nation is obligated, BY LAW to comply with ANYTHING that the UN decides… ALL nations however are urged to cooperate, towards the goal of peace, or they face the risk of cooperative efforts by those member states which, given whatever the necessity may be, could well result in detrimental consequences… See: The Afghan and Iraq campaigns within the US war on terror.
The UN Security Council has absolutely NO AUTHORITY! NONE, ZIP, ZERO, NADA... it stands as a representative body of ideologically opposed nations whose only concern is the best interests of their respective nations.
The UN Security Council has NO POWER: NONE...
The only power that the UN has is that which the member states agree to exert through their respective military capability... Not ONE MEMBER is bound by ANY LAW to comply with UN Sanctions, or UN demands for troops to execute the decisions of the Security Council.
Do you see anyone besides radical anti-American pro-terrorists leftists (pardon the redundancy) calling for sanctions against the US for invading Iraq? Are there any sovereign members of the UN advancing their respective militaries against the US for this would-be violation of which you speak?
ANSWER: NO, you do not...
Why not?
ANSWER: Because no such violation exists and they have neither the authority nor the power on which to act...
Thus friend your assertion is conclusively proven to be NONSENSE...
I hope that clears that up for you.
