UAE floats Saddam exile plan; Arab leaders plead for disarmement.
(From Agence France Presse)
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) unveiled at the Arab summit a surprise plan calling for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to step down in order to avoid war.
The call came in a four-point initiative addressed to the summit in this Red Sea resort by UAE President Sheikh Zayed Ben Sultan al-Nahyan, who suggested that Iraq come under the temporary tutelage of the United Nations and the Arab League, a source close to the Emirati delegation told AFP.
It calls on "the Iraqi leadership to quit power and leave Iraq, within a two-week time limit after it accepts this initiative."
It would provide for "judicial guarantees, binding on both international and national levels, to be given to the Iraqi leadership to make sure that it won't be prosecuted," and "a general and total amnesty be issued for all Iraqis, inside or abroad."
It also requests that "the Arab League be tasked, in cooperation with the UN secretary general, of administrating the situation in Iraq for a temporary period, during which measures shall be undertaken to ensure a return to a normal situation satisfying the will of the Iraqi people."
The proposal comes as US Secretary of State Colin Powell resurrected the idea that war could be avoided if Saddam stepped down and urged Arab leaders to encourage such a move at their summit.
