US embassy cable - 04THEHAGUE1440

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

The Dutch government issued a ministerial decree on May 3 
that will allow it to confiscate assets of the former Iraqi 
regime.  The GONL is still in the process of notifying Dutch 
and Iraqi banks of this decree's provisions.  Once these 
notifications are complete, the Dutch will confiscate assets 
already frozen and transfer them to the Development Fund for 
Iraq.
