Chief V Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Iraq vows to implement all UN resolutions, urges UNSC to help it exit Politics 9/24/2010 10:28:00 AM Chapter VII UNITED NATIONS, Sept 24 (KUNA) -- Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said late Thursday that Iraq is "very serious" about closing all the pending files "this year" and that the new Government will "seriously" deal with the issues between Iraq and Kuwait, in an attempt to get out from under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. Addressing the General Assembly at its 65th session, Talabani said "the most important issue that Iraq is still facing at this stage is getting rid of the burden of resolutions adopted under Chapter VII of the UN Charter." "By reviewing these resolutions, we are working very hard along with our friends and members of the Security Council in order to settle all of the issues concerning the situation in Iraq," he said. At the forefront of these issues, he said, are the remaining restrictions on Iraq in the field of disarmament, the conclusion of the remaining contracts of the Oil-for-Food program and finding the right mechanism which would guarantee the protection of the Iraqi money to replace the Development Fund for Iraq and the International Advisory and Monitoring Board for Iraq. "Iraq is very serious about putting an end to these files this year. The new elected Iraqi Government will also deal seriously with the situation between Iraq and Kuwait and the related issues, such as the maintenance of border pillars, compensation and missing Kuwaiti persons and properties," he vowed. "We will work together with our Kuwaiti brothers, other stakeholders and the United Nations in order to reach a settlement that satisfies all parties without prejudice to our obligations under Security Council resolutions to which we emphasize our respect and commitment," he insisted. The situation in Iraq has changed as a result of immense positive developments that have taken place since the collapse of the former regime and the end of the dictatorship, he noted. It is drastically different than the situation at the time the Security Council adopted resolution 661 in 1990. "For this reason, we see that now is the right time for the Security Council to act, to review all resolutions adopted against Iraq under Chapter VII, starting with resolution 661 of 1990, in a way that would restore Iraq to its international position prior to the adoption of these resolutions," Talabani urged. With regard to the Iranian nuclear issue, he said Iraq believes in the legitimate right of states to the uses of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, a right guaranteed by international conventions, including the NPT. "We stress the importance of reaching a peaceful solution in dealing with this issue, and that dialogue and diplomacy are the most successful means to achieve that goal. On the other hand, any escalation of the matter would hurt the interests of all parties and put the security of the region at risk," he warned. The present political process in Iraq aims to build a federal, democratic, united Iraq, where citizens work within constitutional institutions and the rule of law, human rights are protected and in which all components of the Iraqi people are treated with full respect, he said. "We give huge importance to our capabilities and qualifications as a country rich with natural and human resources to achieve these objectives. However, at this important stage of our people's life, we need political and economic support, as well as international cooperation in order to stand on a firm base, which will enable us to move towards a future in which we will be able, not only to promote our country and our people's stability, progress and prosperity, but also to contribute fully to the achievement within the international community of peace, security and sustainable development for all nations," 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcjams Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Thanks Chief. You know what amazes me at this point....He states that he's ""very serious" about closing all the pending files "this year" and that the new Government will "seriously" deal with the issues between Iraq and Kuwait, in an attempt to get out from under Chapter VII of the UN Charter", yet how serious are we to take them, when this serious issue of government formation has been too difficult for them to resolve. At this point what's more important, the Chap VII file or the formation of the government. I know the "goal" is both, but where are their "true" priorities??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
