There is no activity on Iraq scheduled by the Security Council in January. The only item of interest is the above review. I don't expect it to include anything on Iraq but considering the way the last resolution was issued, it is something to keep an eye on. Windreader1

doesn't iraq have to "request" it before june 15th?

No, the review of seized items is every resolution that is currently in effect for all countries not just Iraq.
