Chapter Seven Continues
There are still people who continue to follow the United Nations
Chapter Seven Sanctions against Iraq and believe that it has been
lifted. The fact of the matter is that, the United Nations
Sanctions remain. My information continues to be current and
precise. In fact, recent news articles have confirmed the UN
Sanctions are still in place.
The Iraqi Transportation Minister clearly makes mention of the U.N.
Resolutions in the most recent article. Hadi al-Amari has said,
"The construction of this port ... demonstrates the clear intention
of Kuwait to block shipping lanes from Iraqi ports and contradicts
U.N. resolutions," he told reporters, adding that it would
"strangle" Iraq's main export terminal in the southern city of
Basra. "We say we will not accept that Basra and Iraq be strangled
in any way," the minister said angrily.

There's also another article reporting that the UN Chapter Seven
sanctions has not been lifted from Iraq. The Kuwait's Deputy Prime
Minister and Foreign Minister, Sheikh Dr. Mohammad Sabah Al-Salem
Al-Sabah stressed the need for Iraq to complete it's implementation
of UN Security Council (UNSC) resolutions as the sole exit out of
the Chapter VII of the UN Charter.

If the Kuwaiti government goes forth with completing the
construction of the Kuwait Port, Mubarak Al-Kabir, this would kill
all commerce for the new port. Construction on the planned Kuwait
port (which is already 14% completed) has for the time being been
halted.
A recently published article in the Kuwaiti Times dated 9 July,
stated that several Iraq government officials have signed petitions
to be sent to the United Nations Security Council for debate on the
construction of the Kuwaiti Port Mubarak Al-Kabir. It is unclear
if the UNSC will be able to schedule these discussions soon and
render a decision.

The Central Bank of Iraq Governor, Dr. Sinan Shabib, has yet to
send the re-denomination report to the Council of Ministries upon
request by Prime Minister Nuri Maliki. The mood at the Central
Bank right now is that they are on stand by and are awaiting
further instructions.
Currently, the Iraqi government is conducting their internal
investigations on the missing billions of dollars from government
accounts. This is a major undertaking and hopefully will be
completed soon.
