(8) The United Nations is the only inter-
national organization with the ability to mobilize and 
the legitimacy to authorize peacekeeping troops. 
(9) The United Nations can implement the 
basis of an agreement that will end the occupation 
of Iraq and begin the transition to international 
peacekeepers. 
(10) The United Nations can field an inter-
national security and peacekeeping mission, but such 
a mission cannot take shape unless there is a peace 
to keep, and that will be dependent upon a political 
process which reaches agreement between all the 
Iraqi parties. 
(11) Reconstruction activities must be reorga-
nized and closely monitored in Iraq by the Iraqi 
Government, with the assistance of the international 
community. 
(12) Any attempt to sell Iraqi oil assets during 
the United States occupation will be a significant 
stumbling block to peaceful resolution. 
(13) There must be fairness in the distribution 
of oil resources in Iraq. 
(14) A reconciliation process that brings people 
together is the only way to overcome their fears and 
reconcile their differences.

(15) It is essential to create a minimum of un-
derstanding and mutual confidence between the Shi-
ites, Sunnis, and Kurds. 
(16) The process of reconciliation must begin 
with a national conference, organized with the as-
sistance of the United Nations and with the partici-
pation of parties that can create, participate in, and 
affect the process of reconciliation, defined as an air-
ing of all grievances and the creation of pathways 
toward open, transparent talks producing truth and 
resolution of grievances. 
(17) The only sure path toward reconciliation is 
through the political process. 
(18) All factions and all insurgents not associ-
ated with al-Qaeda must be brought together in a 
relentless process which involves Saudis, Turks, Syr-
ians, and Iranians. 
(19) Achieving peace requires a process of 
international truth and reconciliation between the 
people of the United States and the people of Iraq. 
(20) A reparations program to assist Iraqis is 
essential to enable reconciliation.

facilitate privatization;

sovereignty, should strive for economic sovereignty
