Retrieved from Macro History: /h2/ch36wmd.htmThe end of the Gulf War happened when Saddam Hussein suffered defeat against the Military and finally accepted the events that called for a ceasefire in the UN Security Council Resolution 686. It was in March when the war ended and the UN Secrutiy Council proposed another resolution which is Resolution 687. This one demands that the Iraq should destroy, eliminate and keep their weapons used for mass destruction and their missiles with a 150 km range. Saddam Hussein conformed with Resolution 687 and the sanctions have been applied to Iraq since the day Hussein invaded Kuwait. Reports also say that he wanted to folllow the resolutions to remove economic sanctions. Saddam did not want rulers to think that his military was weak because they might think of a revenge. He made potential enemies believe that he still owned deadly weapons and spoke fearful about them.

Hussain made a complaint that the monitoring and verification process done by the Security Council was illegal. Hussain started a campaign to end all sanctions while UN inspectors of weapons headed to Iraq.
