Kuwait retrieves classified documents from UN

The Chairman of the Public Authority for Assessment of Compensation for Damages Resulting from the Iraqi Aggression reported the retrieval of all classified documents that had previously been put at the disposal of UN experts in relation to the Kuwaiti compensation dossier. This was virtue of an MOU just signed with the UN Compensation Commission, Khaled Ahmad Al-Mudhaf revealed, Thursday. In remarks to KUNA, Al-Mudhaf noted that "the commission honored the request to retrieve the documents, which are highly sensitive, after Kuwait insisted all files be returned with end of the experts' mandate regarding the Kuwait-Iraq dossier, and that it was entirely unacceptable for the documents to remain without Kuwaiti territory any longer." He further pointed out, "the documents could still be made accessible to UN authorities, should they have need to view them in the future. That, however, shall be arranged after official request by the entity requesting access, and the documents would be accessed in presence of representatives of both the UN and the State of Kuwait."
