Talk:United Nations Security Council Resolution 1546

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Full sovereignty?

Previous wording implied that the handover of day-to-day civil authority from the CPA, to an interim government composed of Iraqis chosen by and appointed by foreigners marked the return of full sovereignty.

Resolution 1546 doesn't state this. I think it is clear that the resolution was merely applauding a step towards the gradual restoration of full sovereignty.

I invite those who consider this handover to have completed the transition to full sovereignty to consider:

• The CPA's 100 plus decrees remained in full effect -- note, in particular,
  • who set the rules for the adoption of the new Iraqi constitution.
  • "Contractors", including Mercenaries remained immune from Iraqi law.
  • Contracts signed by the CPA couldn't be cancelled or renegotiated by the Interim government
• The USA continued to be the ultimated military authority in Iraq.
• The Iraqi's didn't choose the members of the interim government.
