The Iraq withdrawal benchmarks are a series of benchmarks the U.S. Government under the Bush administration have asked the Iraqi government to meet before the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq could commence. The benchmarks include: *Reaching out to the Sunnis by reopening talks on the Iraqi Constitution. *Passing a new oil law. *Reversing the purge of former Baathists from Iraqi politics and government employment *Dismantling sectarian Shia militias. ==Status according to White House on 2007-07-12== The complete list is the following and the status of each was presented by the White House on 2007-07-12: Satisfactory results # Form a committee to review the constitution - Committee is formed, but review is not done. # Establish a process to form and implement semi-autonomous regions - Procedures are in place, but it's unclear whether more regions will be added. # Establish political, media, economic and service committees to support security plan - Steering committee meets weekly to discuss issues. Subcommittees have formed, but they vary in effectiveness. # Provide three trained and ready Iraqi brigades to support operations in Baghdad - The Iraqi government has provided the equivalent of three brigades, but staffing levels are a concern. # Protect the rights of minority political parties in the Iraqi legislature - Shiite factions are feuding. Women work closely with one another, often across party lines. # Allocate and spend $10 billion in Iraqi revenues for reconstruction projects - Iraqi government spent about $1.4 billion in 2006. Oil ministry hasn't made a real effort to spend its capital budget. True success depends on improving delivery of services. # Ensure that the Baghdad security plan will not provide safe haven for outlaws, regardless of sectarian or political affiliation - U.S. commanders say they're satisfied with their ability to target any extremist group. Security forces have been able to clear some areas around Baghdad. # Establish joint security stations in neighborhoods across Baghdad - More than 60 stations are in Baghdad, and 30 more are planned. Increased interaction with locals has reduced violence. Mixed results # Establish an electoral commission, set up provincial councils and their authorities, and set a date for elections - Commission is formed. A law establishing provincial elections is drafted. Still trying to agree on council authorities. No date set for elections. # Reduce the level of sectarian violence in Iraq and eliminate militia control of local security - Militia presence is still strong and far-reaching. Some decrease in sectarian violence, but too early to tell whether it will continue. Unsatisfactory results # Divide oil revenues among Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish factions - Kurds and Shiites have agreed on how to do this, but Sunnis are balking. The effect has been to reduce Iraqis' confidence in government. # Reintegrate former Baath Party members into Iraq society; exclude democracy opponents - Among the most divisive political issues; compromise is extremely difficult. There have been competing conceptions of justice and accountability. # Give Iraqi commanders authority to execute the security plan and make tactical and operational decisions - Iraqi and coalition forces have authority to go after insurgents and militias, but concerns about "negative political influence" continue at various levels. # Ensure that Iraqi security forces provide even-handed law enforcement. - Some individual units aren't complying, and performance is "generally adequate" when teamed with coalition forces. # Increase the number of Iraqi security force units capable of operating independently - "Slow but steady" improvement. The Bush administration is concerned about sectarian leanings of some national police units. # Ensure that Iraq's political authorities are not undermining or making false accusations against members of the Iraqi security forces - Accusations of wrongdoing are not being adequately addressed by the Iraqi government. As a result, security forces don't operate in a professional, non-sectarian way. Too early to assess # Pass law giving amnesty to former members of the ruling Baath Party - Conditions for amnesty for those who have fought against the Iraqi government since 2003 don't exist. Violence is extensive, and various groups aren't willing to reconcile. # Enact and implement law on militia disarmament so security forces are loyal and accountable - There is disagreement on whether the law is needed now. No armed group has committed to disarmament. The United Nations and others have reservations about timing 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iraq withdrawal benchmarks」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
