Summary:

Examines UN-monitored "oil-for-food" program (OFFP), which operated Dec. 1996-Mar. 2003, under which Iraq exported oil to finance humanitarian food purchases, and Iraqi oil revenues earned under the program were held in a UN-controlled escrow account not accessible to the Iraq Government. Provides background on the operations, structure, and termination of OFFP; and examines recent allegations and investigations into illicit trade practices between Iraq and non-UN countries, UN mismanagement of OFFP funds, and other allegations of misconduct, and issues for Congress
