The day after Iraq invaded, the Security Council agreed resolution 660, which condemned the invasion, urged Iraq to withdraw and called for Iraq and Kuwait to discuss their dispute. On 6 August, resolution 661 was passed, ordering sanctions against Iraq for not complying with the request to withdraw. This prohibited all trade to and from Iraq, excluding humanitarian aid. Following this, Saudi Arabia cut Iraq's overland oil exporting pipeline. 101 Headlines 140 Gulf Plus Index Next News News Plus GulfIndex WorldNews

As Saddam developed his "human shield" strategy, resolution 664 was agreed, calling for foreigners to be allowed to leave both Kuwait and Iraq, and for Iraq to leave embassies in Kuwait open. On 25 August the Council voted 13-0 for military action to enforce the trade embargo, allowing naval interception. Resolution 670 passed on 25 September authorised the imposition of an air blockade, to further pressure Iraq. 101 Headlines 140 Gulf Plus Index Next News News Plus GulfIndex WorldNews

With careful negotiation, Security Council members were persuaded to agree a new resolution authorising force to make Iraq comply with all resolutions. The Soviet Union accepted the idea, but insisted on a six-week time period, in which diplomatic efforts could proceed. With just two members opposing - Yemen and Cuba - the Security Council passed resolution 678 on 29 November, giving until 15 January for Iraq to comply. 101 Headlines 140 Gulf Plus Index Next News News Plus GulfIndex WorldNews
