This is a patently false argument. The authority the US had to start hostilities against Iraq in the first place came from the UN. It was consequently the UN's prerogative to order the US to cease hostilities. And they did.

The authority did not come from the UN. The war was sponsored by the UN and the cease fire was sponsored by the UN but the ultimate decision was the US's.
