Prefatory note: this document, dated 24 May 2001, is the Annex to the UK's draft resolution to the Security Council of 22 May 2001. It was sent to CASI shortly after it was released to members of the Security Council. It contains the list of purportedly "dual-use" items for which Iraq will continue to need permission from the Sanctions Committee to import (under Art.2b of the draft resolution) and for which observers may be required to be present in Iraq to monitor their use (4th preambular paragraph to the draft resolution) if the resolution is adopted.
If you are able to make comments on the contents on this list, or the deleterious effects (if any) on the Iraqi economy and humanitarian situation of such items remaining on a sanctioned list, please contact CASI.
