Germany To Oppose Iraq War in U.N.
(DW-WORLD.DE, 22.01.2003)
Distancing himself further from his American allies, German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder ended all doubts late Tuesday about his views on a possible U.N. resolution authorizing a war against Iraq and asserted that his country would definitely vote against any such measure in the U.N. Security Council. . . . Schröder said he had told the government of French President Jacques Chirac: "Do not expect Germany to vote in favor of a U.N. resolution that legitimizes a war against Iraq. Just do not expect it." . . . At Wednesday´s ceremonies, Chirac also indicated that he also opposed a war, saying France and Germany shared the same position on the issue. The statement raised the possibility that France could use its veto in the Security Council to block a resolution on the issue, a power that Germany as one of the rotating members does not have. . . . Schröder´s position is likely to further upset members of the Bush administration, who were angered by the German chancellor last summer as he used his anti-war stance as a cornerstone of his re-election campaign. But his position seems to reflect views held by the nation´s citizens. According to one survey, 69 percent of Germans say the country should vote against any Security Council resolution authorizing a war against Iraq.
