This Week in the World: 80 Years After UN Founding, Peace is Still Possible | Friends Committee On National Legislation Today, the world celebrates 80 years since the creation of the United Nations.In the aftermath of World War II, the U.N. offered a promise of a more just and peaceful world where the human rights of all are protected, and conflicts between states are settled with diplomacy, not war.Today, we celebrate that vision, and the progress we’ve made towards a world free of war and threat of war, with equity and justice for all.

Closer than Ever: Repealing the 2002 & 1991 AUMFs | Friends Committee On National Legislation We are closer than ever to repealing the 2002 and 1991 Authorizations of Use of Military Force (AUMFs) against Iraq! On October 10, the Senate voted to repeal both these AUMFs in a bipartisan amendment to the annual defense policy bill, the FY2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).Congress passed the 2002 Iraq AUMF to authorize war against Saddam Hussein’s government. That government was toppled in 2003 and the U.S. mission in Iraq officially came to an end in 2011. The 1991 AUMF authorized U.S. military involvement in the Gulf War following Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait.
