§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what international initiatives are under way to resolve the dispute between Iraq and Kuwait about Kuwaitis missing since the Gulf war.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggThe Tripartite Commission—composed of the ICRC, Iraq and former coalition countries—chaired by the ICRC is the key forum for discussion of the cases of Kuwaitis missing since the Golf war. At its December meeting, the commission agreed to the establishment of a technical sub-commission to speed up the substantive review of ICRC case files. We attach great importance to the fate of missing Kuwaitis and take every opportunity—for example, at the Security Council's reviews of sanctions—to remind Iraq of its obligations under Security Council resolutions.
