The Commission has received approximately 300 category "F" claims, submitted

a total of approximately US$210 billion in compensation. The category "F"
claims have been organised into four subcategories. In addition, the "E/F"

 The number of category "F" claims filed by claimant Governments. The Commission has organized the category "F" claims into
four main sub-categories and established for each a corresponding secretariat
team and panel of Commissioners. A sub-category of mixed "E/F" claims has
also been identified.
"F1" claims are for losses incurred in connection with
the departure and evacuation of individuals and for damage to property
belonging to Governments and to international organizations. The Commission
has received approximately 100 "F1" claims seeking a total of approximately
US$30 billion in compensation.
"F2" claims are claims filed by the Governments of Jordan
and Saudi Arabia. The Commission has received approximately 75 "F2" claims
seeking a total of over US$20 billion in compensation.
"F3" claims are claims filed by the Government of Kuwait,
excluding environmental claims. The Commission has received approximately
60 "F3" claims submitted on behalf of Kuwaiti ministries and other government
entities seeking a total of approximately US$120 billion in compensation.
Most of the "F3" claims include multiple types of loss, such as damage
to government buildings, loss of equipment, loss of the value of work carried
out by contractors prior to the invasion and relief provided to the Kuwaiti
population.
"F4" claims are claims for damage to the environment.
The Commission has received approximately 170 such claims seeking a total of approximately
US$80 billion in compensation. "F4" claims fall into two broad groups.
The first group comprises claims for environmental damage and the depletion of natural
resources in the Persian Gulf region including those resulting from oil-well fires and
the discharge of oil into the sea.
The second group consists of claims for costs incurred by Governments outside of the region
in providing assistance to countries that were directly affected by the environmental damage.
This assistance included the alleviation of the damage caused by the oil-well fires,
the prevention and clean up of pollution and the provision of manpower and supplies.
"E/F" claims are export guarantee and insurance claims
submitted under both categories "E" and "F". Approximately 137 "E/F" claims
have been filed with the Commission with a total asserted value of approximately
US$6 billion. Each export guarantee or insurance claim normally covers
a number of corporate claims, the compensability of which must first be
established in order to verify the guarantee claim.
The review of all category "F" claims by the panels of commissioners has been completed,
with the exception of claims in category "F4".
