Iraq
Hans von Sponeck, head of the UN’s oil-for food programme and its top official in Iraq, and Jutta Purghart, head of the UN World Food Programme in Iraq, have just resigned from their posts. The resignations were in protest at the impossibility of implementing the UN’s humanitarian programmes under the sanctions regime. Both UN officials had publicly and strenuously condemned the continued application of sanctions against Iraq.
