According to Iraq, publicly available sources show that the invasion and occupation did not have a serious impact on public health in Saudi Arabia.

The threshing floors will be full of wheat, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.

This estimate does not include the coastal oil trench and coastal oil deposit as contamination in those areas was not caused by invasion related oil spills modelled by OSCAR.

The total number of lost days for each recreational activity was calculated by multiplying the number of days lost in each year by the number of years during which opportunities for the activity were not available as a result of Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait.

Iraq questions the alleged causal link between decreases in catches and the 1991 oil spills.

Pollutants from the oil well fires and damaged oil wells in Kuwait Oil spills into the Persian Gulf from pipelines, offshore terminals and tankers Influx of refugees into the territories of some of the Claimants Operations of military personnel and equipment Mines and other remnants of war and Exposure of the populations of the Claimants to pollutants from the oil well fires and oil spills in Kuwait and to hostilities and various acts of violence.

Iraq argues that Iran has failed to provide any conclusive evidence to show that the oil on its coastline (or any ascertainable proportion of the oil) came from the 1991 spills.

Kuwait states that the OSCAR is a state of the art model which has been applied in many parts of the world and compares its model results to a limited set of observations of oil contamination following the invasion related oil spills.

Iran submitted an analysis of satellite images used to track the movements of the oil spills and contaminants from the oil well fires from Kuwait to Iran.

Accordingly, the Panel recommends no compensation for this claim. The Panel's recommendation in respect of claim No. 5000468 is summarized in table 12.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies thou anointest my head with oil my cup runneth over.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies thou anointest my head with oil my cup runneth over.

In the present claim, the Panel finds that expenses incurred by Kuwait as a result of injuries from mines and ordnance are direct losses within the meaning of paragraph 16 of Security Council resolution 687 (1991), irrespective of who was responsible for their presence in Kuwait.

Recommended award The Panel's recommendations in respect of claim No. 5000463 are summarized in table 18.

Iran presented evidence intended to show that the oil spills created oil slicks in an extended area of the Persian Gulf, and that the oil well fires resulted in the deposition of particulate matter over large areas of land and sea.

These include the 1983 Nowruz oil spill and other events during the Iran Iraq war the operation of oil platforms, terminals and oil processing facilities as well as natural seeps in the Persian Gulf.

Fourth claim unit Marine resources Iran seeks compensation in the amount of USD 2,293,923,269 for damage to or depletion of its marine resources resulting from the oil spills in the Persian Gulf and pollutants from the oil well fires in Kuwait.

Iraq, therefore, concludes that the relative contribution of the conflict has not been determined.

Iraq states that Iran has not provided sufficient proof that the alleged decrease in shrimp catches is due to the 1991 oil spills.

With regard to expenses of monitoring areas where remediation is not proposed, Iraq states that this is a new claim and, as such, inadmissible.

According to Iran, analyses and field observations undertaken by it provide a strong indication that some of the oil from the oil spills reached the coast of Iran.

In the view of the Panel, it is possible that increased pollution from the oil well fires in Kuwait, disturbance of the desert surface by military activities, and emissions from diesel powered military vehicles had an effect on the health of the population in eastern Saudi Arabia between 1991 and 1992.

So while the oil spill, the leak, the eruption, is a catastrophe, I think it's important to keep in mind that we've done a lot to affect what's in the ocean for a very, very long time.

This time around, instability in the Middle East is far more severe and widespread. But there appears to be no fear premium on oil prices on the contrary, oil prices have declined sharply since 2014.

Kuwait relies on victims' records in the databases of the Public Authority for Assessment of Compensation for Damages Resulting from Iraqi Aggression and the Ministry of Health's Artificial Limb Centre to calculate the number of victims of mines and ordnance explosions, and to assess the extent of their injuries.

Iraq argues that Syria has not suffered any measurable economic loss either in terms of extraordinary expenditure or loss of revenue.

Although Syria did not submit information about the presence or absence of other sources of pollution unrelated to the oil well fires, it does acknowledge that the presence of zinc and chromium in the Dura Europos samples can be linked to local industrial activities and steel production.

Saudi Arabia relies on the results of the monitoring and assessment studies described in paragraphs 689 692 above to demonstrate the increase in the number of cases of PTSD and other psychiatric conditions and the causal link between the increase and Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait.

First claim unit Groundwater resources Jordan seeks compensation in the amount of USD 1,771,413,994 for this claim unit. Salinization and depletion of groundwater resources Jordan seeks compensation in the amount of USD 1,465,565,462 for the salinization and depletion of its groundwater resources.

The Panel finds that, although there is evidence that parts of Iran's marine environment were exposed to the oil spills resulting from Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait, Iran has not provided sufficient evidence either to demonstrate the nature of the alleged long term damage to the marine environment and fisheries, or to show that any such damage is a direct result of the oil spills resulting from the invasion and occupation.

Consequently, Saudi Arabia has failed to meet the evidentiary requirements for compensation as specified in article 35(3) of the Rules.

OSCAR includes an oil spill physical fates sub model that estimates the distribution of contaminants on the water surface, on shorelines, in the water column and in sediments as well as exposure and population sub models which together estimate the effects of contaminants on eggs, larvae, juvenile and adult fish, wildlife and lower trophic level biota.

Iraq also argues that the methodology set out in the EHS for measuring health effects of the invasion and occupation is weak.

However, in the view of the Panel, although some contamination of Iran's marine resources might be attributable to the oil spills or the oil well fires resulting from Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait, there are other possible major causes of such pollution.

The Panel notes that there is sufficient evidence to show that the oil well fires in Kuwait resulted in increased ground level concentrations of airborne particulate matter in populated areas of Kuwait between February 1991 and October 1991, and that these concentrations could have been sufficient to cause increased mortality in Kuwait.

The Panel also finds that insufficient evidence has been provided by Kuwait to justify further monitoring activity in any areas of the mudflats.

Iraq also states that Saudi Arabia has not demonstrated a link between the alleged premature deaths and the invasion and occupation.

(d) Detecting (at any time of day or night and in any weather) and appraising the scale of oil spills in the ocean resulting from accidents involving oil tankers or from the deliberate dumping of oil, with the aid of data supplied by satellites equipped with synthetic aperture radars of the Arkon 2 type

Iran states that the oil spills resulting from Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait affected the marine habitats and marine organisms at the initial stages of their life cycle.

However, the evidence submitted by Kuwait is not sufficient to demonstrate either that 35 premature deaths actually occurred or that any such premature deaths were the direct result of the invasion and occupation.
