The most recent article titled “Iraq FM Zebari discusses Iraq and the future of CH VII sanctions: CBI might keep tired under Chapter VII for four more years” (Reference LINK) is quite lengthy and can be confusing. So I will do my best to provide some clarity and my personal opinion.
In the fourth paragraph, Zebari states that Iraq has been removed from majority of the Chapter VII provision. This is something we all have been aware of for quite sometime.
In the fifth paragraph Zebari elaborates what issues remain that keep Iraq binded to Chapter VII sanctions. He lists 1) Install land and maritime borders between Iraq and Kuwait, 2) Iraq is required to pay Kuwait 5% of oil revenues to Kuwait victims of the invasion, and 3) the discovery of missing Kuwait prisoners of war and Kuwaiti artifacts.
