The United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC) is located in Villa La Pelouse within United Nations Office in Geneva, Switzerland. It was created in 1991 as a subsidiary organ of the United Nations Security Council under Security Council resolution 687 (1991) to process claims and pay compensation for losses and damage suffered as a direct result of Iraq’s unlawful invasion and occupation of Kuwait in 1990-91.

    About 2.7 million claims, with an asserted value of $352.5 billion, were filed with the Commission. The Commission concluded claims-processing in 2005, and the total compensation awarded was $52.4 billion to approximately 1.5 million successful claimants. Nineteen Panels of Commissioners reviewed and evaluated the claims submitted by governments, international organisations, companies and individuals. The panels reported their recommendations to the Governing Council for approval.

    As of 24 July 2014, the Commission had paid out about $46.7 billion in compensation awards to successful claimants. There remains only one claim that has not been paid in full, with a balance of about $5.7 billion outstanding.

This claim was for production and sales losses as a result of damages to Kuwait’s oil-field assets and represents the largest award by the Commission’s Governing Council.

GOVERNING COUNCIL OF UNITED NATIONS COMPENSATION COMMISSION CONCLUDES ITS SEVENTY-EIGHTH SESSION
GOVERNING COUNCIL OF UNITED NATIONS COMPENSATION COMMISSION CONCLUDES ITS SEVENTY-EIGHTH SESSION
3 October 2014

The Governing Council of the United Nations Compensation Commission today concluded its seventy-eighth session under the Presidency of Australia.

Delegations from Iraq, including the Head and members of Iraq’s Committee of Financial Experts which is responsible for the oversight of Iraq's oil revenues, and Kuwait addressed the fifteen-member Governing Council at its opening plenary meeting.

The Governing Council acknowledged Iraq's ongoing commitment to meeting its obligations to deposit five per cent of Iraq’s oil revenues and the equivalent of five per cent of the value of non-monetary payments to the Compensation Fund under Security Council resolutions 1483 (2003) and 1956 (2010), particularly given the extremely difficult security circumstances in Iraq.

The Council considered reports on the activities of the Commission since the last session with respect to the current levels of income to the Compensation Fund, arrangements for ensuring continued payments, and other payment-related activities.

At present, $ 5.7 billion remains owing to Kuwait for distribution to one remaining successful claimant. With this claim anticipated to be paid in full by the end of 2015, the Governing Council also considered issues relating to the orderly wind down of the Commission.

The session just concluded was the last session for the delegations of Argentina, Australia (President), Luxembourg, Republic of Korea (Vice-President) and Rwanda, whose terms of office end on 31 December 2014.

The Council decided to hold its next regular session on 21-22 April 2015.

Further information about the Commission can be found on the United Nations Compensation Commission website located at www.uncc.ch.
