A historically significant publication, de-luxe bound and likely intended for presentation by the Kuwaiti Government as a commemorative work to high level officials. Purple cloth gilt-titled in Arabic with official Kuwaiti emblem and clear plastic covered panel inset with contents table to the front. In solid fold-over slipcase in matching gilt-titled purple cloth with brass corners to the upper board 34x25x5cm. Approx 348pp English and Arabic texts with multiple numberings including blanks, illustrated with Kuwaiti royal portraits and maps + 4 folding maps loose in a slipcase pocket as called for. The book and loose maps are fine. The slipcase is very good, with the folder scratched to the back surface and the inner slipcase loose from the folder owing to the book's weight. The UN formed the Iraq-Kuwait Boundary Demarcation Commission (IKBDC) in May 1991 under Resolution 687 which specified the ceasefire conditions at the end of the Gulf War. It was created as a matter of urgency to preempt further territorial flare ups. It submitted its final report to the UN Security Council in May 1993, which ratified it in the same month. IKBDC was chaired by former ILO Assistant Director General Nicolas Valticos. Its members included two independent experts (National Land Survey of Sweden Technical Director Ian Brook and New Zealand Surveyor General William Robertson), Kuwaiti Ambassador Tarek Razzouki, Iraqi Ambassador Riyadh Al-Qaysi, with UN Chief Cartographer Miklos Pinther as Secretary. IKBDC surveyed the land boundary and part of the maritime boundary, basing its work on historical developments and agreements in which Iraq had previously recognised Kuwait's independence and borders. Reflecting IKBDC's terms of reference, this reproduces relevant historical documents (including the Anglo-Turkish Agreement 1913; Kuwaiti-Iraqi correspondence 1922; Iraq's application to join the League of Nations 1932; Iraqi Protest Note on the Location of the Boundary Point and South Safwan; Determination of Iraqi Territorial Waters and Continental Shelf by Captain Coucheron-Aamot 1959; Kuwaiti-Iraqi Agreement 1963; and Kuwaiti Protest Notes on Iraqi violations). It also includes IKBDC's Final Report (S/25811) in the original English with Arabic translation, together with related material including press releases, correspondence, and legal points. The Final Report covers IKBDC's mandate, composition, rules, meetings, field sessions, participation, work, historical considerations, mapping and charting, decisions, demarcation, documentation; conclusion, and list of coordinates.

Shipping terms
SHIPPING: Domestic and international shipping is tracked and insured with UPS. This has unfortunately meant an increase in domestic rates especially, and in most cases I am absorbing some of the increase. (I have moved away from Royal Mail owing to a series of problems).
DELIVERY DEADLINES: If you have a hard deadline for receipt that is before the processing time stated on Abe, eg, if you need it to arrive urgently before you travel or before a particular event, please contact me at the time of order to advise, so options can be discussed and steps taken to ensure it gets there in time.
RETURNS: Please return any items for refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date, and contact me first with the reason for the return to establish whether postal costs will be included in the refund. If the item is not as described, I will cover the original and return post.
