               29 June 2007

                    The Security Council,
                     Recalling its previous relevant resolutions, including resolutions 661 (1990) of

               of 22 May 2003, 1540 (2004) of 28 April 2004 and 1546 (2004) of 8 June 2004,
                     Expressing gratitude to the United Nations Monitoring, Verification and
               Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) and the International Atomic Energy Agency
               (IAEA) for their important and comprehensive contributions under the relevant
               resolutions, noting the accumulation of expertise, experience and maintenance of a
               roster of experts during UNMOVIC’s mandate, and encouraging Member States to
               maintain similar expertise for the future,
                     Acknowledging that a democratically elected and constitutionally based
               Government of Iraq is now in place, noting the Government of Iraq’s declaration of
               support for the international non-proliferation regime, and welcoming the concrete
               steps taken in this regard, including the commitment enshrined in the Permanent
               Constitution and the establishment of the National Monitoring Directorate with
               responsibility for import/export control,
                     Recalling Iraq’s disarmament obligations under relevant resolutions, its
               obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, its IAEA
               Safeguards Agreement, The Convention on the Prohibition of the Development,
               Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and
               on their Destruction and the Geneva Protocol, noting Iraq’s commitment to detect,
               deter, prevent and combat, including through international cooperation when
               necessary, the illicit trafficking and brokering in nuclear, chemical and biological
               weapons and their means of delivery and related materials, in accordance with its
               legal authorities and legislation and consistent with international law, and urging its
               adherence to all applicable disarmament and non-proliferation treaties, notably the
               Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use
               of Chemical Weapons, and an Additional Protocol to the IAEA Safeguards
               Agreement,

S/RES/1762 (2007)

                     Noting disarmament efforts regarding Iraq since 1991, and further noting the
               joint US-UK letter dated 28 June 2007 and the Government of Iraq letter to the
               Security Council dated 8 April 2007 annexed to this resolution,
                    Recognizing that the continued operations of UNMOVIC and the IAEA’s Iraq
               Nuclear Verification Office (INVO) are no longer necessary to verify Iraqi
               compliance with its obligations under the relevant resolutions,
                    Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,
                   1.   Decides to terminate immediately the mandates of UNMOVIC and the
               IAEA under the relevant resolutions;
                     2.   Reaffirms Iraq’s disarmament obligations under relevant resolutions,
               acknowledges Iraq’s constitutional commitment to the non-proliferation,
               non-development, non-production and non-use of nuclear, chemical, and biological
               weapons and associated equipment, material, and technologies for use in the
               development, manufacture, production and use of such weapons, as well as delivery
               systems, and urges Iraq to continue to implement this commitment and to adhere to
               all applicable disarmament and non-proliferation treaties and related international
               agreements;
                     3.   Invites the Government of Iraq to report to the Security Council within
               one year on progress made in adhering to all applicable disarmament and
               non-proliferation treaties and related international agreements, notably the
               Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use
               of Chemical Weapons, an Additional Protocol to its Safeguards Agreement, and on
               progress made by the National Monitoring Directorate and the Government of Iraq
               with regard to dual-use controls and harmonizing Iraqi export legislation with
               international standards;
                    4.    Takes note of the summary briefings provided by UNMOVIC/UNSCOM
               and IAEA on their respective activities in Iraq since 1991, and expresses
               appreciation for their dedicated work;
                     5.   Requests the Secretary-General to take all necessary measures to provide
               for the appropriate disposition of UNMOVIC’s archives and other property under
               arrangements ensuring, in particular, that sensitive proliferation information or
               information provided in confidence by Member States is kept under strict control,
               and further requests that the Secretary-General inform the Security Council within
               three months on steps taken in this regard;
                     6.   Requests the Secretary-General to transfer to the Government of Iraq
               through the Development Fund for Iraq not later than three months from the date of
               this resolution, all remaining unencumbered funds in the account established
               pursuant to paragraph 8 (e) of resolution 986 (1995), after returning to Member
               States at their request contributions made by them pursuant to paragraph 4 of
               resolution 699 (1991);
                    7.   Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.

Annex I
           Letter from the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth
           Affairs of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
           Ireland and Secretary of State of the United States of America
           to the United Nations addressed to the President of the
           Security Council
                 The United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
           Northern Ireland wish to inform the Security Council of the steps that have been taken
           with regard to ensuring Iraqi compliance with its disarmament obligations, as called for in
           Council resolution 1483 (2003).
                 Together with the Government of Iraq and other Member States, the United States
           and the United Kingdom, pursuant to the letter dated 8 May 2003 from their Permanent
           Representatives to the United Nations addressed to the President of the Security Council
           (S/2003/538), have been working since March 2003 with the objective of locating and
           securing, removing, disabling, rendering harmless, eliminating or destroying weapons of
           mass destruction, ballistic missiles and related delivery systems and programmes in Iraq
           developed under the regime of Saddam Hussein.
                 We wish to inform the Security Council that all appropriate steps have been taken to
           secure, remove, disable, render harmless, eliminate or destroy (a) all of Iraq’s known
           weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles with a range of greater than
           150 kilometres and (b) all known elements of Iraq’s programmes established to research,
           develop, design, manufacture, produce, support, assemble and employ such weapons and
           delivery systems, subsystems and components thereof.
                 Furthermore, we wish to draw the attention of the Security Council to the
           conclusions of the report issued by the Special Advisor to the United States Director of
           Central Intelligence on Iraq’s Weapons of Mass Destruction (“the Duelfer Report”)
           following a review of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction programmes, undertaken by
           drawing upon information received from former Iraqi officials, other Iraqi citizens,
           suspected weapon sites and both technical and procurement-related documents. In the
           course of their investigation, Iraq Survey Group analysts visited suspected weaponsrelated sites and searched through documents. The report and its addenda are available
           from the following website: https://www.cia.gov/library/reports/general-reports-1/iraq_wmd_2004/index.html.
                 The letter dated 24 April 2007 from the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Iraq to the
           President of the Security Council (S/2007/236, annex) outlines additional actions that Iraq
           has taken and other actions that it intends to take in the near future to demonstrate and
           affirm to the international community its belief that it is now in full compliance with its
           disarmament obligations under the relevant Council resolutions.

                                                                         (Signed) Condoleezza Rice

                                                                           United States of America
                                                                                Signed 27 June 2007

                                                             Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs

S/RES/1762 (2007)

Annex II
               Letter dated 8 April 2007 from the Minister for
               Foreign Affairs of Iraq addressed to the President
               of the Security Council
                                                                                [Original: Arabic]

                     I have the honour to address the present letter to you, and through you to the
               other members of the Security Council, requesting, on behalf of the Government of
               Iraq, that the Council consider terminating the mandates of the United Nations
               Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) and the Iraq
               Action Team of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) established by the
               Security Council resolutions on the elimination and removal of former Iraqi
               weapons of mass destruction, as there are no longer any legal or technical grounds
               for continuing their mandate and we are certain that Iraq currently has none of the
               programmes or weapons in question. In this connection, please note the following:
                     1.    Today Iraq has a democratically elected Government and a new
               Parliament in addition to a Constitution that has been approved by the Iraqis. Today
               it declares that it is joining the global democratic community in its support for the
               international non-proliferation regime.
                     2.    Article 9 (e) of the Permanent Constitution of the Government of Iraq
               states that: “The Iraqi Government shall respect and implement Iraq’s international
               obligations regarding the non-proliferation, non-development, non-production and
               non-utilization of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, and shall prohibit
               associated equipment, materiel, technologies and communication systems for use in
               the development, manufacture, production and utilization of such weapons”. This
               Constitution was approved by the Iraqi people in the national referendum held in
               2005.
                    3.   As Security Council members know, the Iraqi Government has
               cooperated fully with the Iraq Survey Group (ISG) in respect of the former regime’s
               weapons programme.
                     4.  Today the Iraqi Government affirms its full commitment to the relevant
               Security Council resolutions and, in that connection, reiterates the request that it
               made to the President of the Council in March 2005, as well as the letter from the
               Iraqi Prime Minister of 11 November 2006 calling for the termination of the
               mandates of UNMOVIC and the IAEA Iraq Action Team.
                     5.    The Iraqi Government reiterates its commitment to the Treaty on the
               Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the safeguards agreement of the
               International Atomic Energy Agency, the Biological Weapons Convention and the
               1925 Geneva Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating,
               Poisonous or Other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare. The
               provisional Iraqi Government announced previously in July 2004 its commitment to
               all the agreements and conventions on the prevention of proliferation. The Iraqi
               technical authorities have elaborated a draft law on Iraq’s accession to the Chemical
               Weapons Convention, which is currently before the Parliament — the country’s
               legislative branch — with a view to its adoption and preparations are under way for

4                                                                                07-40560

                                                                                S/RES/1762 (2007)

           accession to the Model Additional Protocol of the International Atomic Energy
           Agency’s safeguards regime.
                 6.    With regard to coordination with IAEA on a code of conduct on the
           safety and security of radioactive sources in Iraq, Iraq has set up an agency
           responsible for identifying radioactive sources in Iraq and guaranteeing their
           security, namely, the Iraqi Radioactive Sources Regulatory Authority. Since the fall
           of the previous regime, IAEA has made four successful verification visits to the
           Tuwaitha site — in June 2003, August 2004, September 2005 and, most recently, in
           November 2006.
                 7.    The Iraqi National Monitoring Directorate is overseeing the transfer of
           dual-use substances and is now making every effort to harmonize Iraqi export
           legislation with international standards. Iraq has submitted its national report in
           accordance with its obligations under Security Council resolution 1540 (2004).
                8.    The Iraqi Government has undertaken to guarantee the security of its
           borders by strengthening controls in cooperation with the multinational force.
                The Government and people of my country hope that the Security Council will
           make a serious and objective assessment of the situation in Iraq — namely, the
           absence of weapons of mass destruction and related programmes — and take the
           appropriate decision to terminate the mandate of UNMOVIC and the IAEA Iraq
           Action Team and transfer the balance in the Iraq account opened by the United
           Nations to the Development Fund for Iraq, for the purposes of investment.
                 I should be grateful if you would have the text of the present letter circulated
           to the members of the Security Council as a document of the Security Council.

                                                                       (Signed) Hoshyar Zebari

                                                                                8 April 2007

               29 June 2007

                    The Security Council,
                     Recalling its previous resolutions and the statements of its President relating to
               the situation in Côte d’Ivoire,
                     Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, territorial
               integrity and unity of Côte d’Ivoire, and recalling the importance of the principles of
               good-neighbourliness, non-interference and regional cooperation,

                    Stressing once again its unwavering commitment to the peace process, and to
               the full and expeditious implementation of the Algiers Agreements, and the
               importance of prompt implementation of the delimitation decision of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC) (S/2002/423) as a basis for peaceful and
               cooperative relations between the parties,
                     Reaffirming the integrity of the Temporary Security Zone (TSZ) as provided

               serious violations of the TSZ,
                     Underlining that the Security Council remains committed to its role, in
               particular helping to ensure that the parties respect the commitments they made in

                     Stressing further that the full demarcation of the border between the two
               parties is vital to lasting peace between Ethiopia and Eritrea as well as in the region,
               recalling that both parties under the Peace Agreement of 12 December 2000 have
               agreed to cooperate with the EEBC in the delimitation and demarcation process and
               that they also agreed that the delimitation and demarcation determinations of the
               EEBC will be final and binding, commending the efforts of the EEBC to resume
               demarcation, and expressing its regret that the EEBC, for reasons beyond its control
               as explained in the Annexes of the report of the Secretary-General of 22 January
               2007 (S/2007/33), has so far been unable to demarcate the boundary as planned,

               confirmed in full during the Council’s meeting with the President of Sudan on
               17 June in Khartoum,
                    Recalling the Addis Ababa Agreement that the Hybrid operation should have a
               predominantly African character and the troops should, as far as possible, be
               sourced from African countries,
                     Commending the efforts of the African Union for the successful deployment of
               AMIS, as well as the efforts of member states and regional organisations that have
               assisted it in its deployment, stressing the need for AMIS, as supported by the
               United Nations Light and Heavy Support Packages, to assist implementation of the
               Darfur Peace Agreement until the end of its mandate, calling upon the Government
               of Sudan to assist in removing all obstacles to the proper discharge by AMIS of its
               mandate; and recalling the communiqué of the 79th meeting of the Peace and
               Security Council of the African Union of 22 June to extend the mandate of AMIS

               and assistance required for AMIS,
                     Welcoming the ongoing preparations for the Hybrid operation, including the

               Headquarters and the African Union Commission Headquarters, force and police
               generation efforts and on-going joint efforts by the Secretary General and the
               Chairperson of the African Union to finalise essential operational policies, and
               further welcoming action taken so that appropriate financial and administrative
               mechanisms are established to ensure the effective management of the Hybrid,
                     Re-iterating its belief in the basis provided by the Darfur Peace Agreement for
               a lasting political solution and sustained security in Darfur, deploring that the
               Agreement has not been fully implemented by the signatories and not signed by all
               parties to the conflict in Darfur, calling for an immediate cease-fire, urging all
               parties not to act in any way that would impede the implementation of the
               Agreement, and recalling the communiqué of the second international meeting on
               the situation in Darfur convened by the African Union and United Nations Special
               Envoys in Tripoli from 15-16 July 2007,
                     Noting with strong concern on-going attacks on the civilian population and
               humanitarian workers and continued and widespread sexual violence, including as
               outlined in the Report of the Secretary-General and the Chairperson of the African
               Union Commission on the Hybrid Operation in Darfur and the report of the
               Secretary-General of 23 February 2007, emphasising the need to bring to justice the
               perpetrators of such crimes and urging the Government of Sudan to do so, and
               reiterating in this regard its condemnation of all violations of human rights and
               international humanitarian law in Darfur,
                     Reiterating its deep concern for the security of humanitarian aid workers and
               their access to populations in need, condemning those parties to the conflict who
               have failed to ensure the full, safe and unhindered access of relief personnel to all
               those in need in Darfur as well as the delivery of humanitarian assistance, in
               particular to internally displaced persons and refugees, and recognising that, with

           many citizens in Darfur having been displaced, humanitarian efforts remain a
           priority until a sustained cease-fire and inclusive political process are achieved,
                Demanding that there should be no aerial bombings and the use of United
           Nations markings on aircraft used in such attacks,
                Reaffirming its concern that the ongoing violence in Darfur might further
           negatively affect the rest of Sudan as well as the region, stressing that regional
           security aspects must be addressed to achieve long-term peace in Darfur, and calling
           on the Governments of Sudan and Chad to abide by their obligations under the
           Tripoli Agreement of 8 February 2006 and subsequent bilateral agreements,

           military personnel, including 360 military observers and liaison officers, and an
           appropriate civilian component including up to 3,772 police personnel and 19
           formed police units comprising up to 140 personnel each;
                 3.   Welcomes the appointment of the AU-UN Joint Special Representative
           for Darfur Rodolphe Adada and Force Commander Martin Agwai, and calls on the
           Secretary-General to immediately begin deployment of the command and control

                (a) no later than October 2007, UNAMID shall establish an initial
           operational capability for the headquarters, including the necessary management and

           implemented, and shall establish financial arrangements to cover troops costs for all
           personnel deployed to AMIS;
                (b) as of October 2007, UNAMID shall complete preparations to assume

               command, further decides that command and control structures and backstopping
               will be provided by the United Nations, and, in this context, recalls the conclusions

           and to take disciplinary action and other action to ensure full accountability in cases
           of such conduct involving their personnel;
