This book was reprinted from a public document and records from the
US Government. It is a collection of hearings that took place in
Washington DC, by the House of Representatives on April 21st 2004.
The subject of these hearings was the UN Oil-For-Food Program. As
stated by Representative Christopher Shays, From its inception in
1996, the UNs Oil for Food Program was susceptible to political
manipulation and financial corruption. Trusting Saddam Hussein to
exercise sovereign control over billions of dollars of oil sales
and commodity purchases invited the illicit premiums and kickback
schemes now coming to light. What began as a temporary safety valve
to meet humanitarian needs of the oppressed Iraqi people was
allowed to become a permanent torrent of sanctions and
profiteering. The potential benefits of the program are laid out in
the book as well, including the fact that The Oil Food Program
raised the national nutritional level of most Iraqis. This book
examines the impacts and implications of the UN Oil for Food
Program, its advantages and challenges and allows the reader(s) to
make up their own mind with regards to whether the program was a
success, or ultimately a failure.
