Frank's New One-- are they or are they not out of Chapt 7 ? And does it matter ?

Frank said he believes that Kuwait is in control of Chapter 7.  I was under the impression that Iraq was OUT of Capter 7.  Of course when I commented on that little piece of brilliance, Recaps wouldn't print it.

How is it possible to be partially out of Chapter 7?

Blexum, it has to do with the weapons embargo......   Below is an article that may answer that for you.....



U.N. council brings Iraq closer to end of 1990s sanctions



UNITED NATIONS | Thu Jun 27, 2013 11:16am EDT

(Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council brought Iraq one step closer on Thursday to ending United Nations sanctions imposed on Baghdad more than two decades ago after former President Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait In 1990.

The 15-member council unanimously agreed that the issue of missing Kuwaiti people, property and archives should be dealt with under Chapter 6 of the U.N. Charter - which urges countries to peacefully resolve any conflicts - instead of Chapter 7.

Chapter 7 of the charter allows the Security Council to authorize actions ranging from sanctions to military intervention if states do not abide by council demands.

The move by the council is a significant political boost for Baghdad as it struggles to restore its international standing a decade after a U.S.-led invasion of Iraq toppled Saddam in 2003.

The Security Council resolution recognized "the importance of Iraq achieving international standing equal to that which it held prior to (1990)." U.S.-led troops drove Iraq out of Kuwait in the 1991 Gulf War.

The only issues linked to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait that remain under Chapter 7 are an arms embargo and Baghdad's payment of $52 billion in compensation to Kuwait, diplomats say. Iraq still owes $11 billion and has said it expects to pay by 2015.

There are still a range of Chapter 7 issues imposed on Baghdad after Saddam's ouster in 2003, diplomats say, including the freeze and return of Saddam-era assets and trade ban on stolen Iraqi cultural property.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has recommended that the U.N. political mission in Iraq should take responsibility for facilitating the search for missing Kuwaitis, or their remains, property and the country's national archives.

Chapter 6 is very simple. It is the rules for the peaceful settlement of disputes between nations. Under Chapter 6, the UN acts in an advisory role only.

I totally agree that Chapter 7 had a thing to do with the RV. For one, the economic sanctions were released several years ago, 2010, if I remembering correctly. It was good for Iraq, but it did not delay or advance anything as far as we are concerned.
