How did the United Nations Un react in the early1990s to Iraq violation of an international treaty?

In the early 1990s, following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, the United Nations reacted swiftly by condemning the violation of international law and calling for Iraq's withdrawal. The UN Security Council imposed economic sanctions on Iraq and passed Resolution 678, authorizing the use of force to liberate Kuwait if Iraq did not comply by January 15, 1991. This led to the Gulf War, where a U.S.-led coalition intervened militarily to restore Kuwait's sovereignty. The UN's actions underscored its commitment to upholding international treaties and maintaining global peace and security.
