In exercise of its Right of Reply under Rule 20 of the World Food Summit Rules of Procedure, the United States of America requests that the following be published in the Report of the Summit: "Contrary to the Statement of the Representative of the Republic of Iraq, the suffering of the Iraqi people is caused by the continued failure of the Iraqi regime to fulfil its international obligations. The United Nations Security Council has established the means by which Iraq could export oil in order to finance the importation of additional food and medicines. Iraq can relieve the hardships of its people by complying fully with relevant Security Council Resolutions." Thomas A. Forbord | ||
