  •  
    "The Security Council today ended a week of closed negotiations by unanimously adopting adjustments to the "oil-for-food" programme for Iraq, giving Secretary-General Kofi Annan more authority to administer the programme for the next 45 days.\n\nThe programme, created in 1995 to ease the impact of the sanctions imposed following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, permitted Iraq to use part of its oil revenues for food and medicine and has been the only sustenance for some 60 per cent of Iraq's people. It was suspended on 17 March when the Secretary-General withdrew United Nations personnel from Iraq, just prior to the start of military action."
