He suggested that the report of the Security Council for its next week to confirm Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki reiterate in writing a commitment to Security Council resolution 833 in 1993 as a yardstick for confidence-building between the two countries.

The Security Council requested the Secretary-General to report every four months to monitor the activities of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) and main developments in the areas of security, politics and society in Iraq in addition to international and regional events.

He welcomed the fact that the positive momentum created by the historic mutual visits at the level of Prime Ministers between Iraq and Kuwait and commended the decision to form a joint bilateral Commission to take immediate steps to address issues of concern to both countries.

And that the Iraqi Government renewed its call to reaffirm their commitment to Security Council resolution 833 in 1993 concerning land and maritime boundary with Kuwait as soon as possible and to take urgent steps to resume maintenance tags border including reposition farmers away from the border with Kuwait.

The demonstrations that roamed over Iraq and the violence highlighted the urgent need to address the low level of public services and high rates of unemployment and the failure to curb corruption.

He warned that delays in addressing these issues will be marginalized in the political and security gains achieved by Iraq in recent years.

One thing in particular worries me about this. It seems to me that much of what still needs to be done within Iraq (nothing to do with Kuwait) that the Secretary General is calling for cannot be done without the RV, but if the Chapter 7 restrictions won't be lifted until they are done - WTF?!!

I keep reading that Iraq CANNOT RV with Ch. 7 still in effect. Is this absolutely true?? With all the progress towards RV this last month, including the efforts of US Treas. employees, WTO training and UN people, how can the UN decide to prevent the RV??

Surely Kuwait does not have this much power: "No RV until ALL the details are satisfied."??

Inflation going way up, partly because the 000s have been removed from circulation in preparation for RV, so Shabibi really needs to pull the trigger to stop the inflation. Will the UN stand in the way? Can they?

I need someone that really knows the answers to share FACTS, not OPINIONS please.

Peace and Prosperity
