Thirty-fifth report of the Secretary-General pursuant to paragraph 14 of resolution 1284 (1999)
26. The Minister for Foreign Affairs of Iraq also indicated in his letter that in the event that the mission of UNAMI came to an end, the representative of the Secretariat could remain in his functions if necessary. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Kuwait also underlined that the Security Council should adopt a resolution that contained the following principal elements: (a) the follow-up of those issues would not end with the termination of the mandate of UNAMI; (b) the periodic reports of the Secretary-General on the issues of missing Kuwaiti and third-country nationals and missing Kuwaiti property, including the national archives, should be submitted on dates other than those of his reports on the activities of UNAMI; and (c) a UNAMI official whose sole responsibility would be to follow up on those issues should be designated (see S/2013/324, annex).
28. Having carefully considered the views expressed by Iraq and Kuwait about the future of the mandate set out in paragraph 14 of Security Council resolution 1284 (1999) and noting their broad commonality, I would like to recommend to the Council that the mandate of the High-level Coordinator be terminated and its functions transferred to UNAMI, to be carried out under Chapter VI of the Charter. I take note of the proposals made by Iraq and Kuwait referred to in paragraph 26 above. Should the Council adopt a resolution, I will ensure its full implementation.
29. The Governments of Iraq and Kuwait have demonstrated statesmanship and respect for each other’s national interests in reaching a mutually acceptable and beneficial arrangement. Should the Security Council agree with my recommendation, Iraq will exit Chapter VII with regard to this file and will be one step closer to restoring its international standing prior to resolution 661 (1990), an objective long sought by the leadership of the country following the removal of the regime of Saddam Hussein. The transfer of responsibilities for the facilitation of the search for the missing Kuwaiti and third-country nationals, or their remains, to UNAMI ensures the continued work on this humanitarian file under Chapter VI.
