There was not, nor is there now a supporting UN resolution to that effect.
Coffee Anon is also no longer Secretary General of that less than august body.

Iraq war was illegal and breached UN charter, says Annan

Article history
The United Nations secretary general, Kofi Annan, declared explicitly for the first time last night that the US-led war on Iraq was illegal.
Mr Annan said that the invasion was not sanctioned by the UN security council or in accordance with the UN's founding charter. In an interview with the BBC World Service broadcast last night, he was asked outright if the war was illegal. He replied: "Yes, if you wish."
Coffee Anon further spoke:
"Mr Annan said the security council had warned Iraq in resolution 1441 there would be "consequences" if it did not comply with its demands. But he said it should have been up to the council to determine what those consequences were. "
In other words, Coffee was cranked off because the UN didn't do it....................
In any case, it is long past time for US troops to come home and leave the Iraqis to their sand pit.
