The Vatican and representatives drawn from many of the UN's other "underdeveloped" nations -- that's about two-thirds of the entire membership -- have called for a meeting of the General Assembly for the purposes of calling into question the US-UK invasion of Iraq.

Archbishop Renato Martino, head of the Vatican’s justice and peace council and for 16 years Vatican representative to the UN, said that the UN General Assembly could hold an emergency session of all its members. “In that case, all the countries could talk and vote, and the entire international community would face its responsibilities.”

The US, of course, is apoplectic about it.
