The Compensation Office:
UNCC:
-
Resolution 687
is the key legal text underlying the Commission whereby paragraphs 18 and 19
lay the institutional foundations of the Commission. In paragraph 18, the
Council decided “to create a fund to pay compensation for claims . . . and to
establish a Commission that will administer the fund.” Paragraph 19 then
directed the UN Secretary-General to develop and submit to the Security
Council recommendations for the fund, including procedures for evaluating and
verifying claims and the means of determining the percentage of Iraq’s oil
export revenues to be contributed to the fund. Those recommendations were
made in the
Secretary-General’s report of May 2, 1991.
The Security Council adopted the recommendations contained in part I of the
Secretary-General’s report in
Resolution 692.
PAAC:
-
The Public
Authority for Assessment of Compensation for Damages
Resulting from Iraq Aggression was established in May of 1991, by Kuwaiti
government
Decree Law number 6, as the
authority responsible for undertaking the defining of the damages and
assessing the losses sustained as a result of the Iraqi aggression, and filing
of the claims before the UNCC for individuals, companies and the Government.
PAAC is an independent governmental body, subordinate only to the Cabinet of
Ministers.
UNLO:
-
The United
Nations Liaison Office was established in December 1991
as a branch office of PAAC in Geneva with the main objective to liaise between
PAAC in Kuwait and the UNCC in Geneva on all aspects of the UNCC claims
process.
