History of the Kuwait-Iraq Border Dispute
Shortly after the Iraqi invasion and occupation of Kuwait began on August 2, 1990, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein resurrected old Iraqi claims to Kuwaiti territory. He declared that Iraq had annexed Kuwait, and that Kuwait would be known as Iraq's 19th province. He claimed a historical justification for this attempt by saying that Kuwait was once part of Iraq. That claim is false, but unfortunately, the allegation was repeated so frequently that some observers began to wonder whether it had any basis in truth.
At various times throughout its brief modern existence, Iraq has made two claims concerning Kuwait. It has asserted that Kuwait was previously under Ottoman rule and that Iraq “inherited” the right to rule Kuwait from the Ottomans. The second claim, which seemingly presupposes that the first one is false, holds that no border between Iraq and Kuwait has ever been agreed upon.
<SPAN style="mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt">This paper examines these claims in their historical context, along with the many occasions on which Iraq itself has recognized both Kuwaiti sovereignty and the Iraq-Kuwait border. It will show that Kuwait was never a part of Iraq, and indeed that Kuwait was independent from the ancient Ottoman Empire, from which Iraq was later carved by colonial powers. It will further demonstrate that the Iraqi regime has a pattern of recognizing Kuwaiti sovereignty, only to later repudiate the recognition; and that the international community has recognized Kuwait's borders and sovereignty since the early part of the twentieth century.
