COALITION PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY BAGHDAD IRAQ REGARDING THE COUNCIL FOR INTERNATIONAL COORDINATION June 18, 2003 The Administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) for Iraq has decided that the growing magnitude and importance of contributions from the international community for the relief, recovery and development of Iraq calls for the establishment a Council for International Coordination, as part of the CPA. This Council will be chaired by Professor Marek Belka, former Deputy Prime Minister of Poland. Andrew Goledzinowski, a senior foreign affairs official from Australia, will be vice chair. The Administrator will appoint additional representatives to the Council from those countries that want to contribute expertise or other resources to the relief, recovery and development of Iraq and that support the territorial integrity of Iraq and a representative government for the Iraqi people that does not possess weapons of mass destruction, does not support terrorism, and seeks peace with its neighbors. The Council will be the CPA's focal point and coordinating body for international assistance in the relief, recovery and development of Iraq. The Council will encourage the international community to provide funds and other forms of assistance to Iraq and will coordinate international assistance provided by States, non-governmental organizations and international organizations. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Council will work closely with the UN Special Representative and his designees and other organizations involved in the relief, recovery and development efforts.
