The legal expert, Ali Al-Tamimi, confirmed that there are many Security Council resolutions that are still applicable to Iraq, including those related to the legalization of the American occupation, as well as its submission to Chapter VII.
Al-Tamimi told Al-Maalouma, “The United Nations Mission in Iraq was established by Security Council Resolution 1500 on August 14, 2003, and based on Security Council Resolution No. 1483 in 2003, which considered Iraq an occupied country, since that date and until now, the Security Council has issued more than 20 resolutions for the mandate of the United Nations over Iraq, the latest of which is the aforementioned resolution.
He added that “Iraq is still subject to Chapter VII of the Charter and that the issuance of Resolution 2621 relates exclusively to the closure of the Iraqi compensation file to Kuwait and not to Iraq’s exit from Chapter VII completely due to the existence of issues other than the compensation file, in addition to the fact that there are many Security Council resolutions that are still in force. It has not been repealed, including Resolution 1483 of 2003, which legitimized the US occupation of Iraq and kept military sanctions and the recognition of that by the 15 member states of the Security Council. Several resolutions were issued that are still valid, including Resolution 1511 of 2003 and Resolution 1546.
And he indicated that “Iraq is still under Chapter VII, and the UN resolutions issued by the Security Council since 1991 and the resolutions issued since 2003 until now have not been canceled or amended. That is why the mandate of the United Nations came with its decisions amounting to more than twenty resolutions since 2003 and until the aforementioned resolution 2631 for 2022 was issued. On extending the mandate until May 31, 2023, believing that this mandate contradicts the provisions of Article 2/7 of the Charter of the United Nations (there is nothing in this Charter that justifies the United Nations to interfere in internal affairs that are at the heart of the internal jurisdiction of a state.”
He pointed out that “Iraq has become subject to the trusteeship system contained in Chapter Twelve of the Charter, Article 75 and beyond, which aims to consolidate peace and security and work to promote the people of the regions in political and economic matters, education and encouragement of respect for human rights. These principles are fully consistent with Security Council resolutions The mandate of the United Nations over Iraq referred to, since 2003 until now, and the goals that led to its issuance.” finished 25
