In the light oE such act of aggression, the Security Council, under Your leadership, Mr. President, correctly adopted Security Council resolution 660 (1990), calling for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Iraqi forces to the positions before 1 August 1990, and for the need for the peaceful settlement of all their difEerences. The Council wa8 then faced with the situation whi& is threateninq international peace and security. The Gulf Co-operation Council countries fully support the role of the United Nations and the Security Council t, bring about a peaceful solution between these two brotherly countries and continue to express their recognition of the legitimate Government of Kuwait, under the leadership of His Hiqhness Sheikh Jaber al-Ahmed al-Sabah, the Amir of Kuwait. In their extraordinary ministerial council meeting on I Auqust 1990, the Gulf Co-operation Council countries issued another communique’ to reaffirm their support of the legitimate Government of Kuwait, as circulated in the official document. Once again, tie Gulf Co-operation Council countries reiterate their call to Iraq to withdraw its forces immediately and unconditionally, in accordance with the resolutions adopted by the Security Council. As a result oE Iraq's non-compliance with Security Council resolution 660 (19901, the Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 661 (1990), which calls for relevant aanctiona under Chapter VII of the Charter. Unfortunately, before seeing any po3itive results of all the collective efforts of the international mmmunity, we learned with dismay of the declaration issued by the Aiqh Revolutionary Council of Iraq, annexing Kuwait to Iraq. T-his represents an aet of defiance against the wishes of the international commu?fty and is in total disreqard of the Charter of the United Nations. The Gulf Co-operation Council countries regret this action and do not recocjn ize ouch annexa tlm. They urge other countr fes not to cecoqn ize such S/N?.2934 42
