'Saddam must make a statement in Arabic on TV'

The co-sponsors declare that they would support a conclusion by the Council, for the purposes of operative paragraph 3 of the draft resolution, that Iraq has demonstrated full, unconditional, immediate and active co-operation in accordance with its disarmament obligations under resolution 1441 (2002) if, by 17 March 2003 (date is subject to negotiation), Iraq has satisfactorily completed the following:

1. STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT SADDAM HUSSEIN

Saddam Hussein must make a public statement in Arabic, broadcast on TV and radio in Iraq and in the government-controlled media, that:

* Iraq has, in the past, sought to conceal its weapons of mass destruction and other proscribed activities, but has now taken a strategic decision not to produce or retain weapons of mass destruction or other proscribed items or related documentation and data;

* Iraq will, without delay, yield to Unmovic and IAEA for the destruction of all remaining prohibited weapons, proscribed items and related documentation and data;

* Iraq will fully co-operate with Unmovic and IAEA in immediately addressing and resolving outstanding questions;

* It is the duty of all Iraqi government personnel and citizens immediately:

To cease proscribed activity;

To hand over proscribed items or documentation and data about such items in their possession to Unmovic and IAEA;

To volunteer information on previous and ongoing activities and to provide Unmovic and IAEA all co-operation, including by taking part in interviews outside Iraq;

To disobey any orders received to the contrary;

* Failure to fulfil this duty would be considered a serious crime by the government. The government would, by 17 March, enact comprehensive legislation to ban all government personnel and citizens from supporting or engaging in proscribed activities, from retaining proscribed items, related documentation and data, and obliging all citizens to comply with all requests from Unmovic/IAEA.

2. INTERVIEWS OUTSIDE IRAQ

* At least 30 Iraqi scientists selected by Unmovic/IAEA must be made available for interview in a secure environment outside Iraq along with their families. They must co-operate fully with their interviewers.

3. SURRENDER OF AND EXPLANATIONS ABOUT ANTHRAX

* All remaining anthrax, anthrax production capability, associated growth media and related weapons/dispersal mechanisms must be surrendered or credible evidence provided to account for their whereabouts;

* Credible evidence must also be provided that anthrax was not produced in 1991 and accounting for the anthrax Iraq claims was destroyed in 1991;

* Credible evidence must be produced concerning Iraq's efforts to dry BW (biological warfare) agents.

4. DESTRUCTION OF MISSILES

* Destruction must be completed of all al-Samoud 2 missiles and components, including all warheads, launchers, SA-2 missile engines imported outside of the import/export mechanism and in contravention of paragraph 24 of resolution 687 (1991), and equipment and components designed for the production and testing of the al-Samoud 2 missile.

5. ACCOUNTING FOR UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES AND REMOTELY PILOTED VEHICLES

* Provide credible evidence on the purpose of all RPV/UAV programmes, information on organisations involved, and the inventory of all items related to the programme (such as engines, Global Position System, guidance systems, air frames, etc) including details of all tests made of range capabilities, of payloads and of chemical and biological warfare spray devices.

Still to be included in the draft was a sixth condition mentioned by Tony Blair, which asks Iraq to give up all mobile biological production laboratories for destruction.
