The UN charter very clearly states that only one institution has the right to decide whether a state broke the charter or not. That is the SC. If you use the charter in a political argumentation, you must IMO also accept that point.
That aside, the question was wether 'the UN as an organisation' are in opposition to the Iraq war or not. My point is that they are not, because the SC, which is, according to the UN charter, the only body that can decide such things, has not decided so.
