United Nations Compensation Commission [SEP] inception
United Nations Compensation Commission
The United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC) was created in 1991 as a subsidiary organ of the United Nations Security Council. Its mandate is to process claims and pay compensation for losses and damage suffered as a direct result of Iraq's 1990–1991 invasion and occupation of Kuwait which started the Gulf War. These losses included claims for loss of property, deaths, loss of natural resources, damage to public health and environmental damage.
At the first meeting in August 1991, six categories of claims were set
United Nations Compensation Commission
- United Nations Conference on Trade and Development
- United Nations Economic Commission for Europe
- United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
- United Nations Human Rights Council (see also United Nations Commission on Human Rights)
- United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research
