US calls on Iraqis to ensure implementation of "appropriate" UNSC

Date : 3/19/2012

resolutions WASHINGTON, March 19 (KUNA) -- The US called here Monday on the Iraqi officials to ensure the implementation of the "appropriate" UN Security Council resolutions.
State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland voiced last week concern about the over-flight of Iraq by Iranian cargo flights headed to Syria, stressing that any export of arms or related materials from Iran to any destination would be a violation of UNSC Resolution 1747.
The State Department said in a statement today that Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman discussed the issue of over-flights with senior most Iraqi officials over the weekend.
"These officials expressed a commitment to ensuring that Iraqi territory and airspace would not be used as a transit point for weapons to Syria," it added.
"We encourage the Iraqis to take whatever measures they can to ensure the implementation of the appropriate United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions," the statement stressed.
It affirmed "we will continue to coordinate on this issue with the Government of Iraq on effective ways of enforcing the UNSC resolutions in place." (end) si.bs KUNA 192232 Mar 12NNNN
