The US. This the the standard US tool for everything - stuff countries on sanction lists. The US was actually the main advocate of sanctions - and still is, not only at the UN over Iraq, but every other damned place. Check your "State Department".
Various moves at the UN to remove these sanctions, for exactly the reasons you stated, were constantly blocked by the US (as is the custom!)
Iraq has absolutely nothing to thank the US for in the area of sanctions. It was the US who instigated these sanctions at the UN.

Well it is apparent that you too believe the UN to be irrelevant as it seems that you think the UN is just a puppet for the US. The US says I propose sanctions and all fifteen members of the UN Security Counsel says Oaky Doky...you've got 'em.
BTW...it took some effort for the US to convince the UN to remove the sanctions...but they finally said Oaky Doky...like the good little puppets you apparently believe them to be.
