Summary:

Provides an overview of the UN-monitored "oil-for-food" program under which Iraq may export oil to finance food purchases to provide humanitarian relief to the Iraqi people, while ensuring that all Iraqi oil revenues earned under the program are held in a UN-controlled escrow account and cannot be accessed by the Iraq Government. Describes program structure and accomplishments, the continuing debate over sanctions against Iraq, other sources of humanitarian aid to Iraq, and illicit trade between Iraq and various countries.
