Mr. Fitzpatrick: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what account Her Majesty's Government will take
of US Government policy in determining their policy towards (a) lifting and (b) amending UN sanctions against Iraq. [31763]
Mr. Fatchett: The criteria for lifting sanctions are set out in paragraphs 21 and 22 of United Nations Security Council Resolution
687; they relate to the policies and practices of the Government of Iraq and implementation of the Security Council Resolutions. The
Security Council cannot consider lifting sanctions until the Government of Iraq have shown themselves willing to meet those
criteria.
We do not wish to see sanctions maintained for any longer than is necessary. We have welcome the recent Memorandum of Understanding
between the United Nations and the Government of Iraq. In it, the Government of Iraq reconfirm their acceptance of all relevant UN
resolutions and undertake to co-operate fully with UNSCOM and the IAEA. When the Government of Iraq comply with the relevant
Security Council Resolutions, sanctions can be relaxed.
