Abstract

The unique circumstances of Iraq which are the results of the invasion of Kuwait in 1990 are manifested in the following main facts: (a) Iraq is subject to a state of siege which has no parallel in modern history. With the exception of the single point of entry into Iraq by land from Jordan no persons or goods can legally enter Iraq. There is no air, sea or land travel or transport into or out of Iraq. (b) Under the present regime of UNSC resolutions, Iraq, a founder member of the United Nations in 1945, has been relegated to a lesser entity than under the British mandate of the 1920s. Iraq has been subject to a: particular form of devastation which has ... wrought near-apocalyptic results upon the economic infrastructure of what has been until January 1991 a rather highly urbanised and mechanized society. Iraq has, for some time to come, been relegated to a pre-industrial age, but with all the disabilities of post-industrial dependency on intensive use of energy and technology.
