Re: [casi] US to propose putting Iraq's oil revenues under US control




[ Presenting plain-text part of multi-format email ]

Letter to Security Council Members:

Oxford,
England


Your Excellency,

 I understand that US is proposing to introduce a resolution to the Security
Council which will place money received from the sale of Iraqi oil under US
control. I must urge you as strongly as possible to reject such a resolution
or to act in any way that might be seen to reward or give legality to the
activities of the belligerent powers, US/UK.

It is imperative that the reconstruction of Iraq comes under UN  control and
that reconstruction contracts can only be awarded by UN or by recognised
Iraqi governments. I understand that US has already seized control of
substantial Iraqi funds which were held in UBS in USA. UN should insist that
these funds are returned to the control of the Iraqi people.

The Security Council rightly resisted the demands, threats and blackmails of
US/UK in refusing to authorise the war on Iraq. If UN is to continue to be
meaningful, it must resist all efforts by the shameful belligerent parties to
approve retroactively this illegal war.

Yours faithfully,

Christopher Leadbeater
