United Nations Compensation Commission

The United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC) was established in 1991 to resolve claims for damages caused by Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. It functions as a global tribunal, processing and paying out claims from individuals, businesses, and governments affected by the conflict. Funded mainly through Iraq’s assets and oil revenues, the UNCC ensures fair compensation for loss or damage resulting from the invasion, supporting recovery and justice for those impacted. Its goal is to provide a transparent and organized mechanism to address war-related claims efficiently and equitably.
