Iraq war illegal, says Annan

[bigtree]

The United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has told the BBC the US-led invasion of Iraq was an illegal act that contravened the UN charter.
He said the decision to take action in Iraq should have been made by the Security Council, not unilaterally.

"Painful lessons" have been learnt by the international community since the war in Iraq, he said.

And he feared elections planned for January would not go ahead in Iraq unless security considerably improved.
