Excerpt from "OSI Recommends Changes to Security Council Resolution on
Iraq":

[begin]

The resolution tabled by the United States and Great Britain appears to be
conciliatory and multilateral in spirit. It acknowledges that both countries
are "occupying powers" and makes reference to the "vital role" of the U.N.
in reconstruction. However, the text of the resolution indicates that the
U.S. and Britain are not simply asking the U.N. to "get out of the way," but
are asking the U.N. Security Council to grant them extensive authority to
run Iraq, to sell the oil, and to use the proceeds as they see fit.

Instead there is a need for the Secretary General to be more involved. There
should be more regular supervision of the occupying powers; the oil fund
should be supervised by a monitoring and advisory board that reports back to
the Security Council periodically.
