The United Nations has about $ 40 billion of funds from the oil-for-food program in various accounts, in French and Swiss banks, etc. About two-thirds of the claims on debts owed by Iraq is interest. The claims on Iraqi contracts doled out to France, German, Russia, and China are inflated by the kickbacks (financial incentives) embedded in the price to keep Saddam in power.
