Full text of Iraq-UN deal
Chief UN weapons inspector Hans Blix and Iraqi presidential adviser Amir al-Saadi
The deal was reached as pressure grows on Iraq

Here is the full text of the 10-point agreement between Iraq and the United Nations, released on Monday after two days of talks in Baghdad involving chief UN weapons inspector Hans Blix and UN nuclear agency head Mohamed ElBaradei.

The meeting between the Iraqi side and Unmovic [United Nations Monitoring and Verification Mission] and the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] was devoted to stocktaking of the inspections which have taken place and resolving issues that have come up.

The following was noted:

  • Access has been obtained to all sites. This will continue. The Iraqi side will encourage persons to accept access also to private sites.

  • There has been helpful assistance in the logistic build-up of the inspection infrastructure, e.g. at the Mosul office. This will continue, e.g. regarding a field office in Basrah.

  • After the find of some empty 122mm chemical munitions at al-Ukaidhir stores, the Iraqi side has appointed a team to undertake an investigation and comprehensive search to look for similar cases at all locations. One find of four more units was already reported at al-Taji munitions stores. The final results will be reported.

  • A response was given to an Unmovic request for a number of documents. Some were handed over and clarifications were given regarding others.

  • The list of persons engaged in the various disciplines will be supplemented in accordance with advice from Unmovic and the IAEA.

  • The declaration given on 7 December by Iraq was discussed. Iraq expressed a readiness to respond to questions raised in connection with the declaration and discuss such questions.

  • Persons asked for interviews in private were encouraged to accept this.

  • Unmovic and the IAEA agreed that their helicopters will take appropriate number of minders on board, as necessary.

  • Iraq will enact national legislation as soon as possible regarding proscribed activities.

  • Iraq agreed to continue technical discussions with IAEA to clarify issues, regarding aluminium tubes, alleged uranium importation and the use of high explosives as well as other outstanding issues.
