Iraq to resume oil reparations to Kuwait for Gulf War devastation, says UN

The UN Security Council's compensation agency has announced Baghdad's desire to settle war reparations by 2021. Iraq had suspended compensation payments following the rise of the "Islamic State" militant group.

The UN Compensation Commission (UNCC) said on Tuesday that Iraq is set to resume compensation payments relating to the country's "unlawful invasion and occupation" of Kuwait from 1990 to 1991.

"The (UNCC's) governing council welcomed receipt of a proposal for deposits to resume into the compensation fund in 2018 put forward by the government of Iraq and accepted by the government of Kuwait," the Commission said in a statement.

Under Iraq's latest proposal, Baghdad will provide 0.5 percent of its oil proceeds in 2018 to the compensation fund, with the percentage increasing gradually until the end of 2021.

"Based on oil price and export projections, this would result in payment in full of the outstanding claim award," the Commission added.

The UN Security Council's compensation agency

The above agency is akin to a Insurance policy for Pakistan in the event of India dropping a nuclear warhead on Pakistani soil and the fallout reaches the Chinese territory.

China as the P-5 member would claim from India trillions of dollars in compensation. Nuclear fallout is not easy-oasy matter.

To nuke Pakistan would be a daunting (legal) task for India, considering it is not a P-5 member, while the China is.

Well this is wrong actually USA should provide that compensation to both Iraq and Kuwait. As Saddam Hussain was appointed and supported by USA and Saudis till he turned against him and in return the USA destroyed entire Iraq in name of weapons of mass destruction which were never there and let ISIS come to power in Iraq.

Iraq is also providing reparations to the U.S

And can you elaborate what can be a good reason for India to drop a nuclear bomb in Pakistan..Me and like me many hardcode proud Hindus may have difference in political opinion with Pakistan, but that does not mean, in my life, ever we will imagine neither India and Pakistan should drop a bomb to each other...

You are a good poster..what can be the reason to share your frustration with unnecessary trolling...

What happens after Pakistan is done with (its tactical nukes on) India, and Modi at the helm?

And why do you think that Pakistan will even use Nuke on INDIA...There are enough number of good people in Pakistan who will prevent the usage of this weapon on India...Trust me, there are good number of people in both sides who still run the show in both sides...Otherwise, if we go by the media hype, someone will think, India and Pakistan are going bomb each other tomorrow...

Nuclear bomb brings about balance and stability for both nations where no one will do any misadventure...And for India, we will never initiate any war as we do not have any ambition to change the physical boundary...And unless India initiates, i do not find why Pakistan will try to use nuclear option with INDIA too...

Ask your Modi who claims he did one of a kind surgical strike on Pakistan. Precursor for war.
Pakistan has tactical nukes. But against which country? Only India. Why?

Agreed...i do not want to derail the thread, but open some other thread or guide to someother thread, where you will let us know, if not Modi, then to whom should we vote for...Till that point, you have to tolerate him and i have to enjoy his leadership...
