The UN imposed economic sanctions on Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War primarily to compel the Iraqi government to comply with UN resolutions, particularly regarding the disarmament of its weapons of mass destruction and the cessation of aggressive military actions. The sanctions aimed to weaken Saddam Hussein's regime by crippling the economy and limiting its ability to fund military operations. Additionally, the sanctions were intended to signal international condemnation of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and to restore regional stability. Despite their intention, the sanctions had severe humanitarian consequences for the Iraqi population.
Well, the answer depends on who you ask. Liberals would probably say the war in Iraq is over oil and that the U.S. wants to create an oil monopoly in which they are in charge of. Conservatives would say that Iraq violated the truce of the Gulf War and also violated 17 UN sanctions, thus war was needed to remove their tyrant (Saddam Hussein) as well as keep them in line with the UN sanctions.

The United Nations played a significant role in Iraq, particularly after the Gulf War in the early 1990s, by imposing economic sanctions and establishing the Oil-for-Food program to alleviate humanitarian suffering. Following the 2003 invasion, the UN facilitated political processes aimed at rebuilding Iraq, including the drafting of a new constitution and organizing elections. However, the effectiveness of the UN's involvement has been debated, with challenges including security issues and the complexities of Iraqi politics. Overall, the UN's efforts aimed to promote stability, governance, and humanitarian support in a tumultuous environment.
