Maybe. It's an oddly-phrased sentance. I'd have to read it in context. I don't have R1441 in front of me right now.
To me, it sounds like a translation issue may have garbled the sentance that went into the document. Does "remain seized" mean "retain jurisdiction?" I'd have to investigate. It still coultn't undo 707's material breach language. There are simply SO MANY times the UN clearly stated Iraq breached basically all cease-fire agreements.
