The Arab Parliamentary Union (APU) urged Iraq to positively handle international resolutions and opposed Baghdad's threats to withdraw its recognition of the Kuwaiti state, stateing that attempts to temper with Kuwait's independence will not be permitted.

The APU said in a statement that Kuwait is internationally recognized and is an effective member of the Arab League as well as the United Nations and withdrawal of recognizing it is not allowed.

The council expressed fears of international reactions toward the consent of the Iraqi National Council on a recommendation to the Iraqi leadership to refuse all resolutions issued by the UN Security Council and stop dealing with UNSCOM.
