The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has decided to establish a new committee to continue tracking the financial assets removed from Iraq by individuals connected to Saddam Hussein.
The need for the new regulatory body results from the expiry of the UN Security Council Sanctions Committee on November 21, 2003. The new committee with be commissioned with updating the list of individuals connected to Saddam Hussein as well as entities owned or controlled by persons acting on his behalf, or other senior officials of the former Iraqi regime or their family members, reported the UN News Service.
The UNSC will consider expanding the committee's tasks to include monitoring member states' compliance with the prohibition on supplying arms and related material other than that needed by the United States-led Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA). — (menareport.com)
