United Nations Security Council resolution 1502, adopted unanimously on 26 August 2003, after recalling resolutions 1265 (1999), 1296 (2000) and 1460 (2003), the council condemned violence against humanitarian workers and called upon all states to ensure that such incidents did not remain unpunished.[1]
The vote on the resolution, proposed by Mexico, was delayed due to opposition from the United States concerning the inclusion of language relating to the International Criminal Court, which the latter did not recognise; references to the court were later removed.[2]
