Status of Kirkuk

U.S. Policy on the Status of Kirkuk

Efforts to remedy the unjust policies of the Saddam government in and around Kirkuk, which included the forced deportation of residents, confiscation of property and the manipulation of administrative boundaries, are internal issues for Iraqis to decide. The Transitional Administrative Law (TAL), which was drafted and agreed to by Iraqis, lays out specific steps to undo Saddam Hussein's terrible legacy.

The United States supports the full implementation of the Transitional Administrative Law, including Article 58 related to Kirkuk.
