Irak - Au moment où se tient la Conférence des donateurs à Madrid, une ONG révèle que 4 Milliards de dollars de
revenus pétroliers et autres fonds de reconstruction de l'Irak
ont déjà disparu dans des comptes bancaires opaques, sous
contrôle de l'administration américaine, sans que personne ne
sache à quoi ils ont été dépensés…
Iraq:
the missing billions
Christian Aid press office 23/10/03
"...A staggering US$4 billion in
oil revenues and other Iraqi funds earmarked for the
reconstruction of the country has disappeared into opaque bank
accounts administered by the Coalition Provisional Authority
(CPA), the US-controlled body that rules Iraq. By the end of the
year, if nothing changes in the way this cash is accounted for,
that figure will double..."
Iraq:
the missing billions - Transition and transparency in post-war
Iraq - Christian Aid Briefing paper for the Madrid
conference on Iraq
"...So, with the humanitarian situation still critical, there
are plenty of immediate needs on which money from international
donors can be spent. As this report demonstrates, the widespread
assumption that reconstruction could be paid for entirely by Iraqi
oil money is a false one. Due, not least, to continuing insecurity, Iraq just does not produce enough oil to pay for even
immediate needs and is unlikely to do so in the near future.
What this report most shockingly reveals, however, is that the
billions of dollars of oil money that has already been transferred
to the US-controlled Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) has
effectively disappeared into a financial black hole. For all the
talk of freedom and democracy for the Iraqi people – before,
during and after the war which toppled Saddam Hussein – there is
no way of knowing how the vast majority of this money has been
spent.
This situation is in direct violation of the UN resolution that
allowed Iraqi assets to be transferred to the CPA. Indeed, the
body that is supposed to oversee how Iraq’s assets are used has
not even been set up yet.
Just as disturbingly, if this lack of transparency is perpetuated
it could well hold the seeds for future disaster in Iraq. The very
oil revenues that are potentially the country’s greatest asset
could, on all available evidence, prove to be a curse. In May,
Christian Aid published a major report that revealed how oil
revenues can fuel poverty, war and corruption in developing
countries. The toppling of Saddam Hussein’s regime, it was
suggested, was a unique opportunity to show that this did not have
to be the future for Iraq.
Initial indications, however, are not optimistic – with billions
of dollars of unaccounted for money now in the hands of unelected
foreign officials. This combination of pre-war oil sales, post-war
oil sales and seized invested assets from Saddam Hussein’s
regime already tops US$5 billion, of which only around US$1
billion can be accounted for. By the end of this year, that total
figure will top US$9 billion..."

"...Yet, incredibly, these billions of dollars of Iraqi oil
revenues have never been publicly accounted for. Christian Aid has
discovered a black hole into which these funds have disappeared.
The black hole is presided over not by an Iraqi government, but by
the CPA, the de facto ruling authority established by the forces
occupying Iraq. The US dominates the CPA. The British government
is second in command.
"...Where has all the money gone? The CPA, through the DFI,
receives and disburses billions of dollars of Iraqi funds, largely
derived from pre- and post-war oil revenues. A list of projects
that have been allocated funds by the DFI totalling almost US$1
billion can now be found on the CPA website, and in late September
the PRB posted partial minutes of eight of its twice-weekly
meetings, to which another four have been recently added. However,
it remains quite impossible to obtain an overview of DFI finances.
This is true not only for an agency like Christian Aid, whose
research is dependent on the goodwill or commitment to
transparency of those we interview or to whom we write, but for
senior diplomats trying to establish parameters for the policies
of their governments. Frustration and dissatisfaction with the DFI’s
operation is extremely widespread.
A diplomat working at the UN interviewed by Christian Aid in early
October said: ‘We have absolutely no idea how the money has been
spent. We know that more than US$1 billion has already been
transferred from the UN escrow Oil-for-Food account and we don’t
know how this money has been spent, and this is Iraqi money.’..."
