Dear Secretary-General,
I have the honour to refer to the series of discussions held between Your
Excellency and the Government of the Republic of Iraq on the implementation of
relevant Security Council resolutions on the question of Iraq which took place
in New York on 7 March and 2 May and in Vienna on 4 July 2002, as well as the
talks which were held in your office in New York on 14 and 15 September 2002,
with the participation of the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States.

I am pleased to inform you of the decision of the Government of the Republic of
Iraq to allow the return of the United Nations weapons inspectors to Iraq
without conditions.

The Government of the Republic of Iraq has responded, by this decision, to your
appeal, to the ap peal of the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States,
as well as those of Arab, Islamic and other friendly countries.

The Government of the Republic of Iraq has based its decision concerning the
return of inspectors on its desire to complete the implementation of the
relevant Security Council resolutions and to remove any doubts that Iraq still
possesses weapons of mass destruction.

This decision is also based on your statement to the General Assembly on 12
September 2002 that the decision by the Government of the Republic of Iraq is
the indispensable first step towards an assurance that Iraq no longer possesses
weapons of mass destruction and, equally importantly, towards a comprehensive
solution that includes the lifting of sanctions imposed in Iraq and the timely
implementation of other provisions of the relevant Security Coun cil
resolutions, including resolution 687(1991). To this end, the Government of the
Republic of Iraq is ready to discuss the practical arrangements necessary for
the immediate resumption of inspections.

In this context, the Government of the Republic of Iraq reiterates the
importance of the commitment of all Member States of the Security Council and
the United Nations to respect the sovereignty, territorial integrity and
political independence of Iraq, as stipulated in the relevant Security Council
resolutions and article (II) of the Charter of the United Nations. I would be
grateful if you would bring this letter to the attention of the Security
Council members.

Please accept, Mr Secretary-General, the assurances of my highest
consideration.

Dr Naji Sabri
