On October 27, 2005, the Independent Inquiry Committee (IIC) into the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program will issue its final report on the role of private companies and individuals involved in the program. The IIC's final report, which will focus on the private companies that bought oil from Iraq and sold humanitarian goods and oil spare parts to Iraq under the U.N. program, is expected to state that more than half of the 4,000 companies involved in the program made illicit or unauthorized payments to Iraqi officials in connection with contracts for the sale of humanitarian goods. Once released, the report will be found on the following site: www.iic-offp.org.
