Under sanctions imposed by the Security Council after Iraq invaded Kuwait, money from Iraqi oil sales - $67 billion between 1996 and 2003 - has been divided among a variety of UN-administered programmes.
While some of these, such as the oil-for-food programme, have since been shut down, some of the money, collected in the past, is still being used to finance UN weapons inspection teams even though inspections were called off just before the US-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003.
