The United Nations Security Council passes UNSC Resolution 687, continuing its naval blockade against Iraq into peacetime, and requiring that Iraq submit to UN inspectors to prove that it is not manufacturing weapons of mass destruction.

       NOTE: This is the first time such draconian international restrictions have been placed upon all exports and imports that the loser in a war has been unable to provide basic medicines, food, clean water treatment, et cetera.

        Postscript: Nine years after the end of the Persian Gulf War (Desert Slaughter), one million innocent Iraqi nationals, many of whom were children, died due to malnutrition and communicable diseases.
