“On June 8 [2004], UN Security Council Resolution 1546 was unanimously adopted. It welcomed the Iraqi interim government as a ‘new phase in Iraq’s transition to a democratically elected government. It also contained an explicit endorsement of the timeline established in the TAL [Transitional Administrative Law] and of elections by January 31, 2005.”
