UN Bodies Hold Iraqi Workshop on Oil Spills and Their Cleanup
The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), in collaboration with the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq, conducted a September 23-26 workshop addressing the cleanup of oil spills.

Twenty-nine experts from government ministries and national oil companies from across Iraq took part in the workshop, which examined a broad spectrum of techniques to remedy oil pollution.
