The President had continually defied SC Resolution 4231 prohibiting Syria from incursions into neighboring states. Under Resolution 4231, which in this instance has been signed by more than 180 nations (thus comprising more than 50 per cent of members) authority is granted to terminate the leader(s) of any nation defying any of the thirty-eight 4000 series SC resolutions. Satellite ultrawaves can be launched to any point on earth from any one of 80 UN satellites within minutes of a directive being issued. Under the terms of the directive, anyone within proximity of the target may also be legally terminated. This precludes rogue leaders from the use of hostages. There has been no major war since 3710. This conspicuous absense of world conflict has been widely interpreted by analysts as being one of the Supreme Council's greatest achievements. Ultrawave Termination Directives (UTD) have succeeded in achieving significant disincentives to international conflict. This contrasts with the previous century which had been one of the most conflict ridden on record. Since the leader of any rogue state in continual defiance of any 4000 series resolution faces rapid ultrawave termination, they and any replacements have little choice but to obey SC directives - or to try to control their countries from a state of perpetual hiding, a situation unacceptable to all but the most fanatical of leaders. It is not known to what extent collateral damage has occurred during the ultrawave transmission, but the toll from the UTD is expected to exceed 70.
