and country data, Iraq
In May 2003 the
president declared a national emergency about protecting the Development Funds
for Iraq and certain other Iraq property. The Order recognized that the US
national security and foreign policy is threatened due to obstacles to the
orderly restoration and maintenance of peace and security in the country. Also
seen as disrupted is the development of political, administrative and economic
institutions in Iraq due to the threat of attachment or other judicial process
against the Iraq Development Fund, Iraq petroleum and petroleum products and the
interests, proceeds and obligations of the fund financial instruments related to
the sale or marketing of those products. This Order protects those interests as
well.
The President renewed the Order in 2004 and now extends the
Order beyond May 22, 2007 for one year.
