WHAT WE DID




THE CLAIMS

     The Commission accepted for filing claims of individuals, corporations and
Governments, submitted by Governments and international organizations.

     The Commission received approximately 2.69 million claims seeking a total
of approximately US$352.5 billion in compensation, of which 1.5 million were
awarded a total of US$52.4 billion. Nearly one hundred Governments
submitted claims for their nationals, corporations and/or themselves. Thirteen
offices of three international organizations, the United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and
the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near
East (UNRWA), also submitted claims for individuals who were not in a position
to have their claims filed by Governments.

CLAIMS PROCESSING

     As a subsidiary organ of the Security Council, the Commission
operated within the framework of the Council’s resolutions, particularly
resolutions 687 (1991), 692 (1991), 986 (1995) and 1483 (2003)

PAYMENT OF CLAIMS

      The payment of claims by the Commission had several facets to it. The
Compensation Fund was established with the specific function of receiving funds
from the Government of Iraq, which would in turn be used to settle claims. Other
elements like the payment mechanisms are detailed in this section, as is the
distribution of awards and summaries of payments.

FOLLOW-UP PROGRAMME FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AWARDS

     More than 700 oil wells were set on fire as the Iraqi forces retreated from
Kuwait at the end of the 1990 Gulf conflict, with an estimated 6 million barrels
of oil per day burning for nearly ten months. Additionally, the construction of
oil trenches; the piping of oil into the waters of the Persian Gulf; the laying
of ordnance; the military mobilization of the Allied Forces; the movement of
refugees; and even the extinguishing of the oil fires itself caused
environmental damage throughout the region.
