Al-Sahaf: Resolution 1284 is impractical and not applicable
Iraq, Politics, 1/4/2000
Iraqi Foreign Minister Mohammed Said al-Sahaf depicted United Nations Security Council resolution 1284 as impractical and not applicable as it imposes new commitments, formulas and requirements on Iraq aimed at maintaining economic sanctions.
Iraq launched a campaign of severe criticism against the resolution before and after it was issued, yet it has not yet formally said whether the resolution is accepted or refused.
In statements to Iraq's satellite channel yesterday, al-Sahaf said that resolution 1284 is based on the premise that if the head of the new committee for weapons inspection said the disarmament issue is over in Iraq, the sanctions would not be lifted unless Iraq implements the other items in the resolution.
