In what ways was the response to the 1990 invasion of Kuwait by Iraq an example of collective security?
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. The response to the invasion of Kuwait was a textbook example of collective security because it was executed under the auspices of an international institution, it followed institutional procedure for identifying and punishing the aggressor, and it enjoyed near-universal support from the international community (despite any conflicting national interests that might have existed). After Iraq invaded Kuwait, the UN Security Council unanimously passed Resolution 660, demanding Iraq’s immediate and unconditional withdrawal from Kuwait; this was followed by ten additional resolutions that, among other things, declared the annexation of Kuwait null and void, held Iraq liable for war and economic damages, imposed trade and financial embargoes, and established a naval blockade. When Iraq did not leave Kuwait, the United States and other UN members began to build up military forces in the region, and on November 29, 1990, the UN Security Council authorized its members “to use all necessary means” to expel Iraq from Kuwait if Iraq didn’t withdraw by January 15, 1991.
