争正处于高度敏感期之际，12月3日土耳其军队，估计有数百名士兵带着一些装甲车、坦克和大炮，未征得伊拉克联邦政府的正式许可，渗入伊拉克北部纵深110公里处。这一行动严重侵犯了伊拉克主权并违反了《联合国宪章》第二条关于友好睦邻关系、相互尊重和不干涉会员国内政的国际法原则。
Amid heightened global sensitivity regarding the fight against the terrorist wave that has hit most parts of the world, on 3 December Turkish forces, estimated at hundreds of soldiers with a number of armoured vehicles, tanks and artilleries, penetrated northern Iraq to the depth of 110 kilometres without the official permission of the Iraqi federal authorities. This constitutes a serious violation of Iraqi sovereignty and the principles of international law relating to good-neighbourly relations, mutual respect and non-interference in the internal affairs of Member States, in accordance with Article 2 of the Charter of the United Nations.
