Legal expert: lifting UN sanctions on Iraq means lifting UN custody on Iraqi funds abroad

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The legal expert Ahmed al-Ibadi described reliving Iraq from the UN Chapter’s Seventh Chapter as lifting the custody on the Iraqi frozen funds abroad and giving the Iraqi government freedom to utilize these funds and restoring the country to its regional and international surrounding.

The UN Security Council is scheduled to vote on the resolution of lifting the UN sanctions on Iraq stated in the Charter’s Seventh Chapter Thursday.

Ibadi added “Iraq’s resuming for its world diplomatic and economic relations since end of 2004 under the US resolution uploaded the UN sanctions from its real influence and turned it into a symbolic resolution except the issue of the frozen funds abroad.”
