Category "C" ClaimsCategory "C" claims are individual claims for damages
up to US$100,000 each. Category "C" claims can be made for twenty-one different
types of losses, including those relating to departure from Kuwait or Iraq;
personal injury; mental pain and anguish; loss of personal property; loss
of bank accounts, stocks and other securities; loss of income; loss of
real property; and individual business losses. The Commission received
approximately 420,000 category "C" claims submitted by eighty-five Governments
and eight offices of three international organisations, seeking a total
of approximately US$9 billion in compensation. In addition, the Central
Bank of the Government of Egypt submitted a consolidated category "C" claim
on behalf of over 800,000 workers in Iraq for the non-transfer of remittances
by Iraqi banks to beneficiaries in Egypt. This consolidated Egyptian category
"C" claim comprised 1,240,000 individual claims with an asserted value
of approximately US$491 million.

The Governing Council approved the payment of more than US$4.9 billion to successful category "C" claimants. In June 1999, the Commission concluded the processing of category "C" claims, with the exception of certain claims submitted recently pursuant to decisions of the Governing Council to authorize the late filing of certain claims. |
