Iraq Oil Assets May Be at Risk of Seizure By Caroline Alexander and Nayla Razzouk - Jun 29, 2011 4:32 PM CT The expiration today of United Nations protection of Iraq’s oil revenue from creditors seeking damages stemming from Saddam Hussein’s 1990 invasion of Kuwait may make the assets vulnerable to seizure, exacerbating tensions between the two countries. The Security Council voted in December to allow expiration of UN oversight and immunity for oil revenue deposited in the Development Fund for Iraq, created in 2003 to pay off debts incurred by the Hussein regime. Iraq, which holds the world’s fifth-largest crude reserves, will continue to pay 5 percent of its oil revenue to Kuwait as compensation for damages, including the theft of 10 Kuwaiti aircraft by Hussein. Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said in December that Iraq would seek bilateral agreements to protect its assets abroad once the mandate expired. He didn’t elaborate and the Iraqi government has made no announcements since then. Parliamentary monetary committee member Jawad al-Bolani said in an interview that a team of experts is trying to resolve the issue of Iraqi funds abroad and that ‘significant steps” have been made. A lawyer for Kuwait Airways Corp., Christopher Gooding, said “the class of assets against which we can seek enforcement has expanded.” “Despite pleas to the contrary, Iraq is an extremely rich country,” Gooding, a partner at London-based Fasken Martineau, said in a telephone interview yesterday. “Its trading assets are available worldwide, and it remains our intention to seize Iraqi assets whenever and wherever they are available.” Hussein’s Debts Iraq amassed about $130 billion in debt under Hussein, of which it still owes about $21 billion to Kuwait. It also owes money to Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and continues to pay into the UN compensation fund even as its economy tries to recover from decades of conflict, sanctions and sabotage, eight years after the U.S.-led invasion that ousted Hussein. “For anyone with unpaid debts with Iraq, this is a very significant development,” Stephen Fietta, a solicitor at Volterra Fietta in London, said in an interview, referring to the expiration. Most legal jurisdictions recognize the ability of creditors to seize debtors’ assets as a means of debt enforcement. A sophisticated creditor may be able to track Iraqi cargo and try to seize it as it enters a port, or upon its discharge, he said. “The risk might be minimized if the legal title was transferred by the Iraqi government before the oil was shipped,” Fietta said. “So there are ways around this, but the constant risk of seizure and enforcement can become a real headache for sovereign debtors, just as for private ones.” Oil Export Plans In July, Iraq will export 16.3 million barrels of Kirkuk crude oil from the Turkish port of Ceyhan on the Mediterranean, according to a shipping schedule obtained by Bloomberg News. The July program comprises 24 cargoes with total volume of 524,355 barrels a day, the plan showed. The cargo sizes range from 250,000 barrels to 1 million barrels. Relations between Iraq and Kuwait have been strained since the end of the war in 1991. Outstanding issues include the demarcation of borders, missing persons and the location of Kuwaiti government archives. The 21-year row over the plundering of the Kuwaiti planes highlights the risks. Iraqi Airways offices in Amman were seized in May and assets of $1.5 million frozen following a lawsuit by Kuwait Airways. The Kuwaiti carrier is seeking $1.2 billion in compensation, and won a U.K. court order to freeze the Iraqi airline’s global assets in April 2010. Billion-Dollar Ruling In a 2005 ruling in England, Iraqi Airways was ordered to pay more than $1 billion to Kuwait Airways. In October, the Canadian Supreme Court ruled that Iraq can’t rely on state immunity to thwart efforts by Kuwaiti Airlines to seize assets in Canada, including planes made by Bombardier Inc. “It is true that the international immunity will no longer be there; what will happen after June 30, we will have to see,” said Muzhar Saleh, adviser to Iraq Central Bank Governor Sinan Al Shabibi, in a June 28 telephone interview from Baghdad. “Iraq has a large legal team, both at home and abroad, which will handle any future litigation.” Saleh, like other Iraqi officials, called for all debts remaining from the Hussein era to be written off. Otherwise, he said Iraq will continue to put aside money into a fund that will be supervised by Iraq’s central bank. Stephen Tricks, a partner at Clyde & Co LLP in London, said most of the claims are likely to come from Kuwait Airlines, and that he doesn’t expect to see “a large flood of claims” from companies and individuals sued for compensation. Gooding said Kuwait Airlines would be willing to listen to proposals to settle the case. “The door is open,” he said. “There are no absolutes, but equally there has to be some movement.” To contact the reporters on this story: Caroline Alexander in London at calexander1@bloomberg.net; Nayla Razzouk in Amman at nrazzouk2@bloomberg.net To contact the editor responsible for this story: Andrew J.

That would be nice to have access to info. But at this time I am sitting at the hospital with my husband who had a stroke this morning... he just sat down to read dinar forums... that $50 goes elsewhere at this time. I will continue to rely on those of you who let little tips come out on the forum. yes i have a computer and am reading news- he wants to know whats going on so he can quit his mind numbing job..... And BTW - am not bashing the poster,,, Im just frustrated, worried, and wanting this done so he can quit...today would be a good day to RV. Now its personal- not just for Iraqis in need, but selfishly for my husband as well.

your post encouraged me as I had bought from him before and wanted to get a little more. So I went to the Dinar Trade website and saw the disclaimer of not selling or buying currency at this time. The same words that have been there all along. So how did you get a delivery from them? is there a different web site than the link from another unnamed dinar site?

Question... does anyone know if there are any dignitaries in the area? What about foreign or local press. If this meeting was as extraordinary as we think it may be, wouldn't Maliki want there to be a lot of media attention? OR would he want it a little quieter in order to make it more dramatic. lol

Along with the press conference today, there was another post on the forums saying there would be a press conference by Maliki on 5/11. Came from official source. http://www.nmc.gov.iq/articlesBrowse.aspx?CatID=1 Check it out. Maybe good stuff. sorry gotta go- in classroom
