Det nyoprettede Danmarks Fredsråd, Styregruppen, har på sit møde den 16. marts 2003 besluttet at kontakte en folkeretsekspert for at forberede et sagsanlæg mod den danske regering. Dette sker, såfremt regeringen beslutter sig for at deltage i et eventuelt USA-ledet angreb på Irak udenom FN's sikkerhedsråd.
Danmarks Fredsråd vil betragte et sådant angreb som et brud på folkeretten.
Ifølge FN-pagten kan et angreb kun tillades efter pagtens artikel 42, hvis det er nødvendigt for at opretholde eller genskabe international fred og sikkerhed eller efter artikel 51, der tillader selvforsvar.
Efter Fredsrådets mening er alle fredelige midler for en løsning af konflikten ikke opbrugt.

Statement read on March 17, 2003 at the local US Army/Marine recruiting center
"KILLING CANNOT BE WITH CHRIST! " --ST. PATRICK
The St. Patrick's Four
http://www.stpatricksfour.org/
"Our apologies, dear friends, for the fracture of good order." As our nation prepares to escalate the war on the people of Iraq by sending hundreds of thousands of U.S. soldiers to invade, we pour our blood on the walls of this military recruiting center. We mark this recruiting office with our own blood to remind ourselves and others of the cost in human life of our government's war making.
Killing is wrong. Preparations for killing are wrong. The work done by the Pentagon with the connivance of this military recruiting station ends with the shedding of blood, and God tells us to turn away from it. Blood is the symbol of life. All life is holy. All people are created in the image and likeness of God. All people are family, and everyone is loved by God.
"Dr. Martin Luther King reminds us that"...we are called to speak for the weak, for the voiceless, for the victims of our nation, for those it calls "enemy," for no document from human hands can make these humans any less our brothers [and sisters]."
We come here today with pictures of Iraqi people -- mothers, children, those who have been the victims of U.S. bombardment and sanctions for the past twelve years. We also come here with love in our hearts for the U.S. service people, also victims of war making.
We find hope in these dark times when sisters and brothers around the world resist the spirit of hatred and violence, lift up prayers for peace -- together with works for peace.
