An Iraqi project to the Inter- Parliamentary conference

The deputy speaker of the Iraqi national council ( parliament) Hamid al-Rawi has stressed his country's readiness to maintain a dialogue with the US but under the condition not to give up its own rights and that of the Palestinians.

Al-Rawi added that Iraq is ready to maintain a dialogue with any side but on the ground of preserving its national sovereignty and not to undermine the rights of the Iraqis and to work for lifting the sanctions imposed on them and liberate Palestine and supporting the Palestinian Intifada.

The Iraqi official commended the Russian position concerning the US- British project, known as " smart sanctions," noting that any project submitted to the UN Security Council from any state including Russia will not be accepted if it does not state lifting totally the sanctions imposed on Iraq.

He said that his country's delegation to the International Parliamentary conference which will be held on September 9- 15 will submit an Iraqi initiative to install an international judiciary system that considers complaints filed by countries towards which the UN Security Council takes oppressive resolutions.
