Pan-European body condemns war in Iraq

STRASBOURG (AFP) Apr 03, 2003
The 45-nation Council of Europe on Thursday said it "firmly condemns" the current US-led war in Iraq and called on the countries involved to bring it to an end.

The Council's parliamentary assembly, which brings together members of parliament from all member countries, adopted a resolution describing the war as "illegal and contrary to the principles of international law."

The assembly has been meeting in the eastern French city of Strasbourg, where the Council has its headquarters.
