UNITED NATIONS, March 3 (KUNA) -- UN official Victor Poliakov, who has been taking care of the missing Kuwaitis and property files in the UN Secretariat since the nineties, will discuss the issues in Kuwait on Monday with government officials, KUNA learned late Saturday.
Poliakov was appointed by Secretary General Ban Ki-moon recently to temporarily follow up these two humanitarian files until the Security Council decides by June on how to proceed, after the High-Level Coordinator Gennady Tarasov left his office in late December.
Ban offered the Council in a report last December a number of options to choose from on how to fill until June the vacuum created by Tarasov's departure.
The options include replacing Tarasov with another full-time coordinator, appointing an interim coordinator, asking someone from the UN to assume the mandate until the files are closed, or allowing the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) to take over the files.
When the council met in mid-December, it did not agree on any of the options, and therefore did not allow the mandate to be financed until a final decision is made.
While Russia wanted Tarasov to be replaced by another Russian, Western countries wanted the files to be handled by the UN Secretariat until the files are closed once and for all. Ban had personally wanted UNAMI to handle the files.
Since the council remained deadlocked on the way forward, Ban wrote to the council late last month informing its members that he has mandated Poliakov to "temporarily follow up the dossiers" until the council decides on how to proceed when it meets again on the issues next June.
A UN diplomat told KUNA that the recent improvement in the Kuwait-Iraq relations will definitely have an impact on the council's decision in June. He also said that the next few months will be a test for Iraq to prove to the international community that it means

business and is serious about closing the files once and for all.
Iraqi Ambassador Hamid Al-Bayati told KUNA that some of the files, such as the maintenance of border posts and maritime navigation, will be dealt with bilaterally with Kuwait in the future, expressing satisfaction that the legal issues between Kuwait Airways and its Iraqi sister company have now been resolved.
"Both governments are determined to solve all outstanding issues and to open a new page in the relations between the two brotherly neighbors - Iraq and Kuwait," he said.(end) sj.wsa KUNA 031019 Mar 13NNNN

Why do we feel like we're back on the information-over-load roller coaster again with these guys.

 

We're once again being barraged with articles saying they're moving ahead at record speed...

 

then some stupid 'event' occurs that torpedoes them back into the stone age again.... and we're

back to square one.... and another year goes by......

I hear you. It's the beginning of the month. Seems like the beginning if each month all the good news comes out, then towards the end of the month the good news turns onto drama.

[only 1-25k dinar]

Yup and then things seem to always be happening in the middle of the month,  in this repetative show.....and on and on it goes.. I have never seen anything like it!!! No wonder there are so many negative nellies in dinar land!

Thanks Goldiegirl,  

I think the border demarcation will be completed this month. So the two countries would still need to agree on the archives and missing Kuwaitis.

June seems like a long ways off but if we keep busy it will go quickly!!
