MOSUL VILAYET DECLARATION

Fourth Declaration - 20 October 1992

The Signatory Laeders of the indigenous tribes, ethnic groups, religious communities and academia, as well as the Signatory Landowners of the Mosul Vilayet, subscribing to the principles and objectives enunciated in the Declaration of Self-Determination of 15 May 1992, on behalf of themselves and of those duly represented by them, hereby solemnly declare:

1. to recognise each other unreservedly, notably with regard to their name, function and power to fully represent their tribe, group or community and its members as constitutive and integral parts of the Mosul Vilayet, whose supreme authority rests with its Citizens as represented in and through the Mosul Vilayet Council (until decided otherwise by their constituents, the signatories of said Declaration of Self-Determination are ex officio Members or Deputy Members of the Council);

2. to have no territorial or other public claims against each other, to have their land holdings and related rights and obligations registered with the Mosul Vilayet Registrar, to have any ensuing dispute with other proprietors or claimants settled exclusively by peaceful means, such as mediation or arbitration, with the termination of the League of Nations Mandate on 3 October 1932 serving as reference date for property rights, and disputes with foreign cIaimants to be settled under internationally recognized arbitration rules either in a mutually agreed third country or, by default, in Geneva,

and to settle among themselves, or to have settled among their constituents, whatever claims, disputes or feuds that may arise in the future exclusively by peaceful means respecting the Rule of Law, their traditions and the overriding interests of their union enrooted in the Mosul Vilayet territory, as defined by the Mosul Vilayet Council;

3. to accept all ancestral tribes, ethnic groups and religious communities of the Mosul Vilayet to be equitably represented in all institutions of the Mosul Vilayet by their duly elected representatives, it being understood that the above fundamental principles are to be subscribed to analoguously by the latter;

4. to guarantee the unimpeded and fully exempted application of the landownership title of 15 May 1992, which is to help secure the start-up financing of the liberation of the Mosul Vilayet, to do everything in their power which may contribute to the achievement of this primary goal, and to abstain from all actions and inactions which might harm the chances of early realization of the ultimate objective thus defined as the "international recognition and enforcement of the inalienable right of the Kurdish and other peoples inhabiting the Mosul Vilayet to self-determination"; and

5. to provide - as best as each can - for the financing of the political, reconstruction and development work which is to be carried out under the leadership of the Mosul Vilayet Council

a) initially: by way of Council-guaranteed and secured loans and other available facilities which are to secure notably the work of the Council's Special Representative abroad,

b) for a period of at least one generation: by way of a reconstruction and education duty which shall guarantee to all private and public landowners a fully exempted and liberated royalty of no less than ten percent of the net export earnings on all mineral resources extracted from their duly registered and non-exempted land in the Mosul Vilayet (with the revenues thus generated to be administered - in the event in cooperation with the United Nations - by the organs thus designated and controlled by the Mosul Vilayet Council which is to guarantee the equitable and decentralized application of these revenues),

c) permanently: by way of an appropriate administrative and defense levy on all contracts and concessions invoIving water rights, mineral resources and other assets subject to regulation by the Mosul Vilayet Council, the proceeds of which are to be administered exclusively by those charged with the corresponding executive responsibilities.

[adopted by the Mosul Vilayet Council's First General Assembly - held on 19/20 October 1992 in Arbil under the Chairmanship of Mohammad Sidik Mahmoud - and signed by 74 Kurdish tribe leaders of the Mosul Vilayet]

UNITY DECLARATION

Fifth Declaration - 31 May 1994 (*)

The undersigned representatives of the ethnic, religious and other communities and political parties of the Mosul Vilayet (Northern Iraq),

recognizing their individual and joint responsibility to bring about and to maintain peace, security, prosperity and social justice in those parts of the Mosul Vilayet which are already, or will be liberated from the tutelage, oppression and economic plundering carried out by successive Iraqi regimes in violation notably of the constitutive and still fully valid Iraqi Declaration of 30 May 1932 (United Nations Document E/CN.4/Sub.2/1992/NGO/27),

aware of the critical importance of the unity of purpose, will and action of all concerned for the achievement of any real progress towards the common goal for an unprejudicial interim solution, which is to provide, under effective international protection and free of external constraints, for the self-financed rebuilding of the Mosul Vilayet's multi-ethnic, multi-religious and pluri-cultural community as a pre-condition for the responsible exercice of its inhabitants' right to self-determination, with the eventual effect of the Mosul Vilayet's re-attachment to Iraq or Turkey, attachment to Iran or Syria, or independence, as outlined in United Nations Document E/CN.4/1994/NGO/48,

desirous to contribute whatever is in their power, and to fully use the available assistance from abroad for the prompt development and implementation of such a regionally stabilizing interim solution which is to provide for the security, dignity and prosperity of the inhabitants of the Mosul Vilayet in line with their treaty-based "international guarantees" and other rights:

1. fully subscribe to the objectives, ways and means outlined or specified in the "Declaration of Self-Determination" and the "Mandate and Landownership Title", both signed in Ankara on 15 May 1992, as well as in the "Declaration of Separation from Iraq" and the "Mosul Vilayet Declaration" (concerning property rights and mandatory rules and procedures for resolving all related conflicts), both signed in Arbil on 20 October 1992;

2. invite all past and present owners of land situated in the Mosul Vilayet to co-sign, support and loyally implement the above specified and related documents, to register their corresponding titles and rights with the Mosul Vilayet Registry (whose present office holders are Najim Omar Khedher Al-Sourchi, Arbil, andSheik Salar Al-Hafeed, Suleimanya), and to faithfully adhere to the principles, rights and obligations thus fixed in order to lastingly overcome some actual problems of conflicting claims and to provide for the peaceful, secure and equitable enjoyment of the Mosul Vilayet's plentiful resources by all of its inhabitants;

3. invite all in a position to help (governments, United Nations Agencies, non-governmental organizations, private firms, etc.) to promptly assist in the development and implementation of a comprehensive de-mining programme covering the liberated part of the Mosul Vilayet and which is to be funded on the basis of the locally available resources in line with UN Security Council resolution 688, independent of actions eventually taken by the Iraqi government or the UN Security Council with regard to Iraq.

_________________

(*) At the request of the leadership of the Mosul Vilayet Council (MVC), this Declaration, those previously adopted and the Statute of the Mosul Vilayet Council were developed in consultation with representatives of Allied governments by the CORUM Research Group. It was aimed at resolving some festering key problems - notably the landownership dispute - underlaying the fighting which broke out again beginning of May 1994 between the peshmergas (militias) of two of the three major political parties, i.e. the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK). The current presidents of the ruling parties, Massoud BARZANI (KDP) and Jalal TALABANI (PUK), have from the outset in 1992 personally pledged their full support for the implementation of this non-prejudicial interim solution - provided the Allied governments unambiguously "give the green light". This 1994 Declaration has been signed notably by the mayors of the following and other districts of the Mosul Vilayet (to the North of the Baghdad Vilayet):
