Call to Maliki to Sue Kuwait at International Courts

BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com: A White Iraqiya MP called on Premier Nouri al-Maliki to sue Kuwait in the international maritime courts for its insistence in building Mobarak terminal. MP Alia Nsaif said in a statement by the bloc, as received by IraqiNews.com, “Maliki should bear the responsibility in his capacity as head of the executive power and file a suit at the international maritime courts, because the territorial waters between Iraq and Kuwait are not well defined.” Kuwait announced last April it will build the Mobarak terminal, after one year of Iraqi declaration to build the Greater Fao Port. Iraq criticized the project as damaging Iraqi interests and strangles its waterway, and called Kuwait to change the site of its terminal in order will not affect Iraqi interests.
