MP demands Iraq reject 2 Security Council’s decisions

BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com: The Legislature of the White al-Iraqiya Bloc, Alia Nusaif, has demanded the Iraqi government on Wednesday to reject UN Security Council Resolutions 687 and 833, considering them to “deprive Iraq of part of its land, that there is no difference that they belong for Iraq, historically and legally.”   “The Iraqi ground and naval borders, known since long ages are legal historic rights of the Iraqi people, and the government should deal firmly and seriously towards UN Security Council Resolutions, issued after 1991, because they had highly undermined Iraq’s rights,” Nusaif was quoted to have stated to her Bloc’s Media Office.   Nusaif said that “Resolutions 687 and 833 form an serious and unprecedented incident, reflected by the Security Council’s interference to ignore the legitimate right of the Iraqi people in their land and waters, thing that represent a legal violation of the UN Charter.”   “Kuwait, after having violated Iraq’s ground borers, with the blessing of the Security Council and the United Nations, is acting nowadays to build the Mubarak Port, ignoring any anxiety by an International Party to account it,” Nusaif said, adding that “Kuwait is doing that despite the existence of the UN Mission in Iraq (UNAMI), because it knows well that this Mission would not voice a single letter to oppose the building of its said Port.”   “Iraq has a historic opportunity to reject all the resolutions, issued by the UN Security Council after the year 1991, due to their non-legitimacy and the non-existence of anybody to defend the Iraqi rights in the International Bodies during that period,” Nusaif said.   Kuwait had announced on April 6 th last the beginning of its construction of the Mubarak Port, one year after Iraq’s intention to build its Grand Faw Port in the Gulf.   Kuwait’s Deputy Prime-Minister and Development Minister Ahmed al-Fahad had stated that the project, concluded with the South-Korean Hyundai Company, would be “friendly to the environment,” pointing out that it expresses great motives, achieving hopes and ambitions of the Kuwait people, who had always hoped to build a port in such a strategic and vital position, aiming to make Kuwait a financial and commercial center on both Regional and International levels.”   SKH (TF)/SR   537
