United Nations Security Council resolution 1518, adopted unanimously on 24 November 2003, after reaffirming previous resolutions on Iraq, particularly 1483 (2003), the council established a committee to investigate financial assets removed from the country by persons connected to Saddam Hussein. [1]

Contents

The Security Council recalled the decision to dissolve the committee established by Resolution 661 (1990) and for all states to implement obligations under Resolution 1483. It determined that the situation in Iraq, although improved, continued to constitute a threat to international peace and security.

Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the council established a committee of the Security Council to update lists from the previous committee concerning individuals or entities connected to Saddam Hussein with immediate effect. [2] Iraqi assets located abroad would then be transferred to an account established by the Coalition Provisional Authority. [3] Finally, the mandate of the new committee would be reviewed, and possibly expanded to include monitoring compliance with an arms embargo against Iraq, other than weapons and ammunition destined for use by the Coalition Provisional Authority.

The French, German, Mexican and Russian representatives had requested that the Committee monitor the arms embargo against Iraq, though this was not included in the final draft of the resolution. In its absence, the French representative requested that monitoring be conducted by the Security Council. [1]

The Coalition Provisional Authority was a transitional government of Iraq established following the invasion of the country on 19 March 2003 by the U.S.-led Multinational Force and the fall of Ba'athist Iraq.

In May 2003, following the invasion of Iraq in March of that year, the Central Bank of Iraq-Development Fund for Iraq (DFI) account was created at the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the request of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) Administrator. A part of the fund has been transferred to Baghdad and Iraq, and the DFI-Baghdad account was opened at the Central Bank of Iraq "for cash payment requirements". The fund also eventually received money from seized and "vested" Iraqi bank accounts and funds seized by coalition forces. $650 million of this amount belongs to Uday Saddam Hussein, the older son of the former Iraqi president. The DFI have been disbursed mainly for "the wheat purchase program, the currency exchange program, the electricity and oil infrastructure programs, equipment for Iraqis security forces, and for Iraqi civil service salaries and ministry budget operations".
