                      RESOLUTION 667 (1990)
 
     _Adopted by the Security Council at its 2940th meeting_,
                      _on 16 September 1990_
 
 
    _The Security Council_,
 
    _Reaffirming_ its resolutions 660 (1990), 661 (1990), 662
(1990), 664 (1990), 665 (1990), and 666 (1990),
 
    _Recalling_ the Vienna Conventions of 18 April 1961 on
diplomatic relations and of 24 April 1963 on consular relations,
to both of which Iraq is a party,
 
    _Considering_ that the decision of Iraq to order the closure
of diplomatic and consular missions in Kuwait and to withdraw the
immunity and privileges of these missions and their personnel is
contrary to the decisions of the Security Council, the
international conventions mentioned above and international law,
 
    _Deeply concerned_ that Iraq, notwithstanding the decisions
of the Security Council and the provisions of the conventions
mentioned above, has committed acts of violence against

    _Outraged_ at recent violations by Iraq of diplomatic
premises in Kuwait and at the abduction of personnel enjoying
diplomatic immunity and foreign nationals who were present in
these premises,
 
    _Considering_ that the above actions by Iraq constitute
aggressive acts and a flagrant violation of its international
obligations which strike at the root of the conduct of
international relations in accordance with the Charter of the
United Nations,

violence against foreign nationals or against any diplomatic or
consular mission in Kuwait or its personnel,
 
    _Determined_ to ensure respect for its decisions and for
Article 25 of the Charter of the United Nations,
 
    _Further considering_ that the grave nature of Iraq's
actions, which constitute a new escalation of its violations of
international law, obliges the Council not only to express its
immediate reaction but also to consult urgently to take further
concrete measures to ensure Iraq's compliance with the Council's
resolutions,
 
    _Acting_ under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United
Nations,

against diplomatic premises and personnel in Kuwait, including
the abduction of foreign nationals who were present in those
premises;
 
    2.  _Demands_ the immediate release of those foreign
nationals as well as all nationals mentioned in resolution 664
(1990);
 
    3.  _Further demands_ that Iraq immediately and fully comply
with its international obligations under resolutions 660 (1990),
and 664 (1990) of the Security Council, the Vienna Conventions on
diplomatic and consular relations and international law;
 
    4.  _Further demands_ that Iraq immediately protect the
safety and well-being of diplomatic and consular personnel and
premises in Kuwait and in Iraq and take no action to hinder the
diplomatic and consular missions in the performance of their
functions, including access to their nationals and the protection
of their person and interests;
 
    5.  _Reminds_ all States that they are obliged to observe
strictly resolutions 661 (1990), 662 (1990), 664 (1990), 665
(1990) and 666 (1990);
 
    6.  _Decides_ to consult urgently to take further concrete
measures as soon as possible, under Chapter VII of the Charter,
in response to Iraq's continued violation of the Charter, of
resolutions of the Council and of international law.
