Iraq inquiry: action against Saddam Hussein vital for UN authority, says David Miliband

SOURCE: Telegraph (UK) (3-8-10)

Mr Miliband told the Chilcot Inquiry he voted for the invasion of Iraq in March 2003 because Saddam's defiance of the UN posed a danger to global peace and security.

He admitted that the hugely controversial US-led war exposed ''divisions'' in the international community.

But he insisted the UN would have been damaged if the conflict had not gone ahead.
