Summary
Expresses its strong condemnation of the massive violations of human rights of the gravest nature, for which to Government of Iraq is responsible and to which the Special Rapporteur has referred in his recent reports; calls upon the Government of Iraq to resolve the cases of disappearances of Kuwaitis and nationals of other States by providing detailed information on all persons deported from or arrested in Kuwait between 2 Aug. 1990 and 26 Feb. 1991 and on those who were executed or died in detention during or after that period, as well as on the location of their graves; expresses special alarm at the repressive practices directed against the Kurds and at the grave violations of human rights in southern Iraq; also expresses its special alarm at the continuation of all internal embargoes, which permit no exceptions for humanitarian needs and which prevent the equitable enjoyment of basic foodstuffs and medical supplies, and calls upon the Government of Iraq to remove them and to take steps to cooperate with international humanitarian agencies in the provision of relief to those in need throughout Iraq and to act to take advantage of the "food for oil" formula as set forth in Security Council resolutions 706 (1991) and 712 (1991).
