We must insist that when the conflict ends, Iraq will not simply be an oil well for the West. We must demand that the resources of Iraq are used for its sole benefit. The participants in the conflict, in particular the US and Britain, have certainly given assurances that this is what they want. We must publicly insist that they fulfil those commitments. We must use every possible occasion to demand of the US and Britain in particular that they do so, that they will respect the rights of the Iraqi people to rebuild Iraq in the way the Iraqi people wish, that they will ensure the resources of Iraq will be used for the people of Iraq. This will happen only if the reconstruction of Iraq is directed by the United Nations, and it is a very necessary first step that the United Nations have a strategic role in the humanitarian effort.
