Iraqi Oil Revenues for Iraqi Refugees

More than 4.5 million Iraqis -- a fifth of the population -- have been
displaced inside and outside their country due to the sectarian
policies of the occupation and the governments it has installed since
the illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003.

The international community, the occupation powers, and the government
in Iraq are legally required to support and protect Iraqi refugees.

Iraqi refugees are Iraqi citizens who have a full right to live in
dignity, a right to benefit equally from national resources, and a
right to return to their homes.

The UN Security Council, as the highest body of the UN, has the power
and legal duty to ensure that the needs of Iraqi refugees are met by
passing a resolution to require that the Iraqi state allocate
proportionate revenue to responsible agencies and hosting countries.

Call for action

Displaced and refugee Iraqis cannot wait until they can return home
for their essential needs to be met. The international community has
the moral obligation to act now. UNSC Resolution 986 of 1995
established that Iraqi oil revenue is for all Iraqis. As Iraqi
citizens, Iraqi refugees have equal rights to share in the wealth of
Iraq.

We call upon all governments, UN agencies and organizations, law,
human rights and humanitarian associations, and all people of
conscience to work together towards ensuring that the UNSC adopt and
implement this proposal of obliging the Iraqi state to allocate oil
revenues for Iraqi refugees.

We demand that states -- particularly those involved in the illegal
invasion and destruction of Iraq -- fulfill their obligations and
responsibilities and provide necessary funding for the UN High
Commissioner on Refugees (UNHCR) mission of protecting displaced
Iraqis.

We call upon all to raise funds and take all measures to provide
direct aid to Iraqi refugees and the organizations helping them.

Humanity is in distress in Iraq. Our moral responsibility is to save
it. Join us.
