It was not only implied, but according to Colin Powell, before 1441 was passed, he explicitly told the French ambassador that if they failed to comply (again,) there would be an invasion. The French ambassador acknowledged this.
When France voted for 1441, and subsequently attempted to block its enforcement, they undermined what little credibility that the UN had.
Vichy France lives.
