UN Security Council set to end mandates of affiliate bodies June 26

UN Security Council set to end mandates of affiliate bodies June 26
UNITED NATIONS, June 15 (KUNA) -- UN Security Council will on June 26 "terminate immediately" the mandates of the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Iraq.

Speaking to Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Friday, a council diplomat said on that date, UNMOVIC chief Demetrius Perricos is scheduled to orally brief the council on the commission's work and that it found no weapons in Iraq.

The council will act by voting on a draft resolution that would request the Iraqi government to report to it within one year on progress made in adhering to all applicable non-proliferation treaties and other arrangements.

The UN secretary-general would be requested to take all "necessary measures" to provide for the appropriate disposition of UNMOVIC's archives and other property under arrangements ensuring that "sensitive proliferation information or information provided in confidence by member states is kept under strict control." Attached to the draft would be a letter by the US and UK, as well as another by the Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari.

The joint US-UK letter said both governments have been working with the Iraqi cabinet since 2003 "with the objective or locating and securing, removing, disabling, rendering harmless, eliminating, or destroying weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq developed under the regime of Saddam Hussein." "We wish to inform the council that all appropriate steps have been taken" in that regard, the letter noted.

It called the council's attention to the conclusions of the report issued by the Special Advisor to the US Director of Central Intelligence on Iraq's WMD , known as the Duelfer Report, which concluded in 2004 that no such WMD were found in Iraq.

Zebari's letter, dated last April, outlined additional actions that Baghdad has taken, and other actions that it intends to take in the near future, to demonstrate and affirm to the international community its belief that it is now in full compliance with its obligations under international law regarding the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

An UNMOVIC official told KUNA that since the UN experts left Iraq in 2003, the commission spent some USD 50 million in salaries and training sessions.

There are now roughly USD 60 million in the UN escrow account that have to be returned to the Iraq Development Fund once the commission shuts down.

The official added that more expenses are expected to be spent to shut down UNMOVIC. "It will not be just switch off the light and leave," he said.

He explained that UNMOVIC has in its New York office a Scud missile engine, an SA2 missile engine, that have been used in training operations, plus documents and equipment.

He added that UNMOVIC also has more equipment, such as gas masks and monitoring cameras stored in its office in Cyprus which has to be shut down too.

Disposing of them costs money also, he said. (end) sj.
