Yes, and you apparently don't know anything about it either.

This is a lie. The UN clearly stated several times in resolutions that
Iraq was in violation and made demands which the UN itself refused to
enforce, primarily because the UN had been corrupted by Saddam's
bribery as is now coming to light. Several countries, including France,
Germany, and Russia, were explicitly paid off by Saddam, while quite a
number of high UN officials were similarly bribed. A refusal to enforce
the law because you've been bribed does not equal a claim that no law
was broken.
You are suffering from a number of logical faults.
