RESOLUTION 666 (1990)


Adopted by the Security Council at its 2939th meeting on
13 September 1990


The Security Council,


Recalling its resolution 661 (1990), paragraphs 3 (c) and 4 of which
apply, except in humanitarian circumstances, to foodstuffs,


Recognizing that circumstances may arise in which it will be necessary
for foodstuffs to be supplied to the civilian population in Iraq or Kuwait in
order to relieve human suffering,


Noting that in this respect the Committee established under paragraph 6 of that resolution has received communications from several Member States,


Emphasizing that it is for the Security Council, alone or acting through
the Committee, to determine whether humanitarian circumstances have arisen,


Deeply concerned that Iraq has failed to comply with its obligations
under Security Council resolution 664 (1990) in respect of the safety and
well-being of third State nationals, and reaffirming that Iraq retains full
responsibility in this regard under international humanitarian law including,
where applicable, the Fourth Geneva Convention,


Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,


1. Decides that in order to make the necessary determination whether or not for the purposes of paragraph 3 (c) and paragraph 4 of resolution 661 (1990) humanitarian circumstances have arisen, the Committee shall keep the situation regarding foodstuffs in Iraq and Kuwait under constant review;


2. Expects Iraq to comply with its obligations under Security Council
resolution 664 (1990) in respect of third State nationals and reaffirms that
Iraq remains fully responsible for their safety and well-being in accordance with international humanitarian law including, where applicable, the Fourth Geneva Convention;


3. Requests, for the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2 of this resolution, that the Secretary-General seek urgently, and on a continuing basis, information from relevant United Nations and other appropriate humanitarian agencies and all other sources on the availability of food in Iraq and Kuwait, such information to be communicated by the Secretary-General to the Committee regularly;


4. Requests further that in seeking and supplying such information
particular attention will be paid to such categories of persons who might
suffer specially, such as children under 15 years of age, expectant mothers, maternity cases, the sick and the elderly;


5. Decides that if the Committee, after receiving the reports from the
Secretary-General, determines that circumstances have arisen in which there is an urgent humanitarian need to supply foodstuffs to Iraq or Kuwait in order to relieve human suffering, it will report promptly to the Council its decision as to how such need should be met;


6. Directs the Committee that in formulating its decisions it should
bear in mind that foodstuffs should be provided through the United Nations in co-operation with the International Committee of the Red Cross or other appropriate humanitarian agencies and distributed by them or under their supervision in order to ensure that they reach the intended beneficiaries;


7. Requests the Secretary-General to use his good offices to facilitate
the delivery and distribution of foodstuffs to Kuwait and Iraq in accordance
with the provisions of this and other relevant resolutions;


8. Recalls that resolution 661 (1990) does not apply to supplies
intended strictly for medical purposes, but in this connection recommends that medical supplies should be exported under the strict supervision of the Government of the exporting State or by appropriate humanitarian agencies.
