Mr. EIDE said that a great many things could be added to the draft resolution, including the evidence, now confirmed, that chemical weapons had been used against Halabja, but the sponsors had been careful not to labour the question. He therefore agreed with the appeal to Mr. Treat not to go beyond what was in the draft resolution. 86. In connection with the appeal for foreigners to be allowed to leave, there was a tendency to believe that foreigners were essenti~lly Westerners and that it was a tug of war between Westerners and the Government of Iraq. However, during the present session, many people had told him of the situation of nationals from entirely different parts of the world, such as Asia and Central and Eastern European countries, who had nothing to do with the basic conflict but were nevertheless in exactly the same predicament, and had said how important the draft resolution was for their nationals. 87. With regard to Mrs. Ksentini's amendments, he too was concerned that sanctions should not be conducted in a way that would cause undue suffering to the occupied Kuwaiti population or to the civilian population in Iraq, which would include the Kurds, who could certainly not be blamed for what Saddam Hussein was doing.
