                    Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 5 September 2002
               (S/2002/987), particularly its proposals for adjustments to the strength of

               in the security situation in Sierra Leone;
                     4.   Urges UNAMSIL, guided by an evaluation of the security situation and
               the capacity of the Sierra Leonean security sector to take responsibility for internal

               including a reduction of 4,500 troops within eight months, taking into account the

               Resolution 1441 (2002)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 4644th meeting, on
               8 November 2002

                    The Security Council,
                    Recalling all its previous relevant resolutions, in particular its resolutions 661
               (1990) of 6 August 1990, 678 (1990) of 29 November 1990, 686 (1991) of 2 March
               1991, 687 (1991) of 3 April 1991, 688 (1991) of 5 April 1991, 707 (1991) of 15
               August 1991, 715 (1991) of 11 October 1991, 986 (1995) of 14 April 1995, and
               1284 (1999) of 17 December 1999, and all the relevant statements of its President,
                     Recalling also its resolution 1382 (2001) of 29 November 2001 and its
               intention to implement it fully,
                     Recognizing the threat Iraq’s non-compliance with Council resolutions and
               proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and long-range missiles poses to
               international peace and security,
                     Recalling that its resolution 678 (1990) authorized Member States to use all
               necessary means to uphold and implement its resolution 660 (1990) of 2 August
               1990 and all relevant resolutions subsequent to resolution 660 (1990) and to restore
               international peace and security in the area,
                    Further recalling that its resolution 687 (1991) imposed obligations on Iraq as
               a necessary step for achievement of its stated objective of restoring international
               peace and security in the area,
                     Deploring the fact that Iraq has not provided an accurate, full, final, and
               complete disclosure, as required by resolution 687 (1991), of all aspects of its
               programmes to develop weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles with a
               range greater than one hundred and fifty kilometres, and of all holdings of such
               weapons, their components and production facilities and locations, as well as all
               other nuclear programmes, including any which it claims are for purposes not
               related to nuclear-weapons-usable material,
                     Deploring further that Iraq repeatedly obstructed immediate, unconditional,
               and unrestricted access to sites designated by the United Nations Special
               Commission (UNSCOM) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),
               failed to cooperate fully and unconditionally with UNSCOM and IAEA weapons

*0268226*

S/RES/1441 (2002)

               inspectors, as required by resolution 687 (1991), and ultimately ceased all
               cooperation with UNSCOM and the IAEA in 1998,
                     Deploring the absence, since December 1998, in Iraq of international
               monitoring, inspection, and verification, as required by relevant resolutions, of
               weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles, in spite of the Council’s repeated
               demands that Iraq provide immediate, unconditional, and unrestricted access to the
               United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC),
               established in resolution 1284 (1999) as the successor organization to UNSCOM,
               and the IAEA, and regretting the consequent prolonging of the crisis in the region
               and the suffering of the Iraqi people,
                     Deploring also that the Government of Iraq has failed to comply with its
               commitments pursuant to resolution 687 (1991) with regard to terrorism, pursuant to
               resolution 688 (1991) to end repression of its civilian population and to provide
               access by international humanitarian organizations to all those in need of assistance
               in Iraq, and pursuant to resolutions 686 (1991), 687 (1991), and 1284 (1999) to
               return or cooperate in accounting for Kuwaiti and third country nationals wrongfully
               detained by Iraq, or to return Kuwaiti property wrongfully seized by Iraq,
                    Recalling that in its resolution 687 (1991) the Council declared that a ceasefire
               would be based on acceptance by Iraq of the provisions of that resolution, including
               the obligations on Iraq contained therein,
                    Determined to ensure full and immediate compliance by Iraq without
               conditions or restrictions with its obligations under resolution 687 (1991) and other
               relevant resolutions and recalling that the resolutions of the Council constitute the
               governing standard of Iraqi compliance,
                    Recalling that the effective operation of UNMOVIC, as the successor
               organization to the Special Commission, and the IAEA is essential for the
               implementation of resolution 687 (1991) and other relevant resolutions,
                     Noting that the letter dated 16 September 2002 from the Minister for Foreign
               Affairs of Iraq addressed to the Secretary-General is a necessary first step toward
               rectifying Iraq’s continued failure to comply with relevant Council resolutions,
                     Noting further the letter dated 8 October 2002 from the Executive Chairman of
               UNMOVIC and the Director-General of the IAEA to General Al-Saadi of the
               Government of Iraq laying out the practical arrangements, as a follow-up to their
               meeting in Vienna, that are prerequisites for the resumption of inspections in Iraq by
               UNMOVIC and the IAEA, and expressing the gravest concern at the continued
               failure by the Government of Iraq to provide confirmation of the arrangements as
               laid out in that letter,
                     Reaffirming the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty and
               territorial integrity of Iraq, Kuwait, and the neighbouring States,
                     Commending the Secretary-General and members of the League of Arab States
               and its Secretary-General for their efforts in this regard,
                    Determined to secure full compliance with its decisions,

     1.    Decides that Iraq has been and remains in material breach of its
obligations under relevant resolutions, including resolution 687 (1991), in particular
through Iraq’s failure to cooperate with United Nations inspectors and the IAEA,
and to complete the actions required under paragraphs 8 to 13 of resolution 687
(1991);
      2.   Decides, while acknowledging paragraph 1 above, to afford Iraq, by this
resolution, a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations under
relevant resolutions of the Council; and accordingly decides to set up an enhanced
inspection regime with the aim of bringing to full and verified completion the
disarmament process established by resolution 687 (1991) and subsequent
resolutions of the Council;
      3.    Decides that, in order to begin to comply with its disarmament
obligations, in addition to submitting the required biannual declarations, the
Government of Iraq shall provide to UNMOVIC, the IAEA, and the Council, not
later than 30 days from the date of this resolution, a currently accurate, full, and
complete declaration of all aspects of its programmes to develop chemical,
biological, and nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, and other delivery systems such
as unmanned aerial vehicles and dispersal systems designed for use on aircraft,
including any holdings and precise locations of such weapons, components, subcomponents, stocks of agents, and related material and equipment, the locations and
work of its research, development and production facilities, as well as all other
chemical, biological, and nuclear programmes, including any which it claims are for
purposes not related to weapon production or material;
      4.   Decides that false statements or omissions in the declarations submitted
by Iraq pursuant to this resolution and failure by Iraq at any time to comply with,
and cooperate fully in the implementation of, this resolution shall constitute a
further material breach of Iraq’s obligations and will be reported to the Council for
assessment in accordance with paragraphs 11 and 12 below;
      5.    Decides that Iraq shall provide UNMOVIC and the IAEA immediate,
unimpeded, unconditional, and unrestricted access to any and all, including
underground, areas, facilities, buildings, equipment, records, and means of transport
which they wish to inspect, as well as immediate, unimpeded, unrestricted, and
private access to all officials and other persons whom UNMOVIC or the IAEA wish
to interview in the mode or location of UNMOVIC’s or the IAEA’s choice pursuant
to any aspect of their mandates; further decides that UNMOVIC and the IAEA may
at their discretion conduct interviews inside or outside of Iraq, may facilitate the
travel of those interviewed and family members outside of Iraq, and that, at the sole
discretion of UNMOVIC and the IAEA, such interviews may occur without the
presence of observers from the Iraqi Government; and instructs UNMOVIC and
requests the IAEA to resume inspections no later than 45 days following adoption of
this resolution and to update the Council 60 days thereafter;
       6.    Endorses the 8 October 2002 letter from the Executive Chairman of
UNMOVIC and the Director-General of the IAEA to General Al-Saadi of the
Government of Iraq, which is annexed hereto, and decides that the contents of the
letter shall be binding upon Iraq;
     7.    Decides further that, in view of the prolonged interruption by Iraq of the
presence of UNMOVIC and the IAEA and in order for them to accomplish the tasks

                                                                                3

    United Nations Monitoring, Verification                   International Atomic Energy Agency
          and Inspection Commission

            The Executive Chairman                                     The Director General

                                                                                8 October 2002

Dear General Al-Saadi,

     During our recent meeting in Vienna, we discussed practical arrangements that are prerequisites for the
resumption of inspections in Iraq by UNMOVIC and the IAEA. As you recall, at the end of our meeting in
Vienna we agreed on a statement which listed some of the principal results achieved, particularly Iraq’s
acceptance of all the rights of inspection provided for in all of the relevant Security Council resolutions. This
acceptance was stated to be without any conditions attached.

     During our 3 October 2002 briefing to the Security Council, members of the Council suggested that we
prepare a written document on all of the conclusions we reached in Vienna. This letter lists those conclusions and
seeks your confirmation thereof. We shall report accordingly to the Security Council.

     In the statement at the end of the meeting, it was clarified that UNMOVIC and the IAEA will be granted
immediate, unconditional and unrestricted access to sites, including what was termed “sensitive sites” in the past.
As we noted, however, eight presidential sites have been the subject of special procedures under a Memorandum
of Understanding of 1998. Should these sites be subject, as all other sites, to immediate, unconditional and
unrestricted access, UNMOVIC and the IAEA would conduct inspections there with the same professionalism.

                                                                                S/RES/1441 (2002)

      We confirm our understanding that UNMOVIC and the IAEA have the right to determine the number of
inspectors required for access to any particular site. This determination will be made on the basis of the size and
complexity of the site being inspected. We also confirm that Iraq will be informed of the designation of additional
sites, i.e. sites not declared by Iraq or previously inspected by either UNSCOM or the IAEA, through a
Notification of Inspection (NIS) provided upon arrival of the inspectors at such sites.

     Iraq will ensure that no proscribed material, equipment, records or other relevant items will be destroyed
except in the presence of UNMOVIC and/or IAEA inspectors, as appropriate, and at their request.

     UNMOVIC and the IAEA may conduct interviews with any person in Iraq whom they believe may have
information relevant to their mandate. Iraq will facilitate such interviews. It is for UNMOVIC and the IAEA to
choose the mode and location for interviews.

     The National Monitoring Directorate (NMD) will, as in the past, serve as the Iraqi counterpart for the
inspectors. The Baghdad Ongoing Monitoring and Verification Centre (BOMVIC) will be maintained on the same
premises and under the same conditions as was the former Baghdad Monitoring and Verification Centre. The
NMD will make available services as before, cost free, for the refurbishment of the premises.

      The NMD will provide free of cost: (a) escorts to facilitate access to sites to be inspected and
communication with personnel to be interviewed; (b) a hotline for BOMVIC which will be staffed by an English
speaking person on a 24 hour a day/seven days a week basis; (c) support in terms of personnel and ground
transportation within the country, as requested; and (d) assistance in the movement of materials and equipment at
inspectors’ request (construction, excavation equipment, etc.). NMD will also ensure that escorts are available in
the event of inspections outside normal working hours, including at night and on holidays.

     Regional UNMOVIC/IAEA offices may be established, for example, in Basra and Mosul, for the use of their
inspectors. For this purpose, Iraq will provide, without cost, adequate office buildings, staff accommodation, and
appropriate escort personnel.

     UNMOVIC and the IAEA may use any type of voice or data transmission, including satellite and/or inland
networks, with or without encryption capability. UNMOVIC and the IAEA may also install equipment in the field
with the capability for transmission of data directly to the BOMVIC, New York and Vienna (e.g. sensors,
surveillance cameras). This will be facilitated by Iraq and there will be no interference by Iraq with UNMOVIC
or IAEA communications.

     Iraq will provide, without cost, physical protection of all surveillance equipment, and construct antennae for
remote transmission of data, at the request of UNMOVIC and the IAEA. Upon request by UNMOVIC through the
NMD, Iraq will allocate frequencies for communications equipment.

      Iraq will provide security for all UNMOVIC and IAEA personnel. Secure and suitable accommodations will
be designated at normal rates by Iraq for these personnel. For their part, UNMOVIC and the IAEA will require
that their staff not stay at any accommodation other than those identified in consultation with Iraq.

      On the use of fixed-wing aircraft for transport of personnel and equipment and for inspection purposes, it
was clarified that aircraft used by UNMOVIC and IAEA staff arriving in Baghdad may land at Saddam
International Airport. The points of departure of incoming aircraft will be decided by UNMOVIC. The Rasheed
airbase will continue to be used for UNMOVIC and IAEA helicopter operations. UNMOVIC and Iraq will
establish air liaison offices at the airbase. At both Saddam International Airport and Rasheed airbase, Iraq will
provide the necessary support premises and facilities. Aircraft fuel will be provided by Iraq, as before, free of
charge.

                                                                                7

S/RES/1441 (2002)

       On the wider issue of air operations in Iraq, both fixed-wing and rotary, Iraq will guarantee the safety of air
operations in its air space outside the no-fly zones. With regard to air operations in the no-fly zones, Iraq will take
all steps within its control to ensure the safety of such operations.

     Helicopter flights may be used, as needed, during inspections and for technical activities, such as gamma
detection, without limitation in all parts of Iraq and without any area excluded. Helicopters may also be used for
medical evacuation.

     On the question of aerial imagery, UNMOVIC may wish to resume the use of U-2 or Mirage overflights.
The relevant practical arrangements would be similar to those implemented in the past.

      As before, visas for all arriving staff will be issued at the point of entry on the basis of the UN Laissez-Passer or UN Certificate; no other entry or exit formalities will be required. The aircraft passenger manifest will
be provided one hour in advance of the arrival of the aircraft in Baghdad. There will be no searching of
UNMOVIC or IAEA personnel or of official or personal baggage. UNMOVIC and the IAEA will ensure that their
personnel respect the laws of Iraq restricting the export of certain items, for example, those related to Iraq’s
national cultural heritage. UNMOVIC and the IAEA may bring into, and remove from, Iraq all of the items and
materials they require, including satellite phones and other equipment. With respect to samples, UNMOVIC and
IAEA will, where feasible, split samples so that Iraq may receive a portion while another portion is kept for
reference purposes. Where appropriate, the organizations will send the samples to more than one laboratory for
analysis.

     We would appreciate your confirmation of the above as a correct reflection of our talks in Vienna.

     Naturally, we may need other practical arrangements when proceeding with inspections. We would expect in
such matters, as with the above, Iraq’s co-operation in all respect.

                                                                                Yours sincerely,

(Signed)                                                                        (Signed)
