increasingly miserable for Iraqi civilians diplomats are questioning whether they will ever again impose such a complete cutoff in trade The United Nations banned virtually all trade with Iraq 5 12 years ago as punishment for its invasion of Kuwait and to pressure President Saddam Hussein into dismantling Iraq’s ability to field weapons of mass destruction Yet Saddam retains a firm hold on power and UN weapons inspectors report a lack of full cooperation from the Baghdad regime Meanwhile his people are so desperate they are selling their belongings in the streets to raise money to buy food To soften the misery (he United Nations has offered for years to allow Iraq to sell some oil under UN supervision to raise money for imports of food medicine and other humanitarian supplies But Saddam refused saying that would be an affront to Iraq's sovereignty The United Nations put forward a new proposal last April to permit Iraq to sell $1 billion of oil every 90 days and a third round of negotiations on the offer opens Monday There is no support in the Security Council for lifting the sanctions until Iraq dismantles its banned weapons programs But there is a growing belief that the Iraq experience proves the economic sanctions strategy is flawed because sanctions cause the greatest suffering to the people least responsible for incurring them “I don’t think it will ever happen again” Egyptian Ambassaid “It was too harsh and it affects the sador Nabil people and we don’t want to affect the people” Although the embargo has crippled Iraq's economy it has not achieved the real goal of many council members: forcing the ouster of Saddam’s government “The theory in Iraq is that you make things so bad for the population that they pull up their socks and overthrow the dictatorship” said William Durch a senior associate at the Henry L Stimson Center a think tank in Washington “The problem is that the dictatorship controls the resources flow and the Yeltsin closing

sprint It won’t be so easy to keep up the fast pace” Rather than force quick concessions sanctions often encourage totalitarian governments to stiffen their resolve “If you have sanctions on Iraq and
