Iraq has paid enough reparations!
(including $1.45 billion since the fall of Saddam)
On 9-11 March 2004 the 51st session of the UNCC awarded a further $204m
In total $48.2bn has been awarded, $18.2bn paid, and about $83bn of claims remain.

60 Iraqis came from Berlin, Geneva, Lausanne, London, Paris and Zurich to call for an end to these reparations. We gathered around the famous broken chair sculpture outside the Villa La Pelouse (the main UN building where the UNCC is based), with banners saying "Victims shouldn't pay reparations" and "Iraqis don't owe a dime for Saddam's crime."

We all signed a letter which we handed into the UNCC calling for an immediate moratorium on payments and an UN Security Council resolution to disolve the UNCC and focus the energies of the UN in investigating Saddam's odious debts instead.
