What is the GCC
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is a regional political, economic, military and security organization composed of six Arab countries that overlook the Arabian Gulf and make up the majority of the Arabian Peninsula: Saudi Arabia, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain.
On May 25, 1981, the six rulers of Abu Dhabi reached a cooperative formula aimed at achieving coordination, integration and interdependence between their countries in all fields and their unity, as stipulated in the articles of association of the council in its fourth article.
Historical
demands for Iraq's accession and Iraq's claims to join the Council are old, perhaps with the establishment of the Council itself in 1981, and the relations between Iraq and the Gulf at this period was a good level because of the Iraq-Iran war.
The relationship between Iraq and the Gulf to participate in the activities of the Gulf sports, although he remained unlikely to join, although Iraq is associated with the Gulf countries, including several participants with them in the Arabian Gulf, in addition to his participation as one of the oil country.
Claims have stalled as Gulf-Iraq disputes escalate under the former Saddam regime, which culminated with the Iraqi war on Kuwait.
With the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003, demands for Iraq to rejoin the Gulf Cooperation Council returned. In 2004, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, chairman of the Governing Council, said a delegation from the council had asked during a tour of seven Arab states for Iraq to join the GCC.
Meanwhile, former Iraqi Oil Minister Ibrahim Bahr al-Uloum said that Iraqis "have an interest in joining the Council, and have repeatedly stated through our tours that our most important demands are to join the Gulf Cooperation Council, in view of our keenness to join the unified Gulf homeland." .
In 2008, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates called on Arab Gulf states to include Iraq in the Gulf Cooperation Council. "The Gulf states' support for Iraq will help contain Iran's ambitions," he told senior defense officials in a number of Gulf and Middle East countries. Gulf states should consider allowing Iraq to join regional organizations such as the Gulf Cooperation Council, and help Baghdad by sharing intelligence and developing border control efforts.
The benefits of Iraq 's accession to the Gulf Cooperation Council
In a previous report for Al-Wasat newspaper, he outlined the benefits of Iraq's accession to the Gulf Cooperation Council, including that the GCC will become a huge economic power with the presence of two of its member states (Saudi Arabia and Iraq) with the largest oil reserves in the world, pointing out that this would represent The economic and financial strength of the GCC states can be used for many political purposes, including resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict and combating terrorism.
The report published in 2004 that the accession of Iraq will benefit the Council to achieve greater political, economic, social and cultural openness, especially in light of the existence of a cultural, artistic and scientific movement in Iraq.
He also pointed out that Iraq's accession to the Council will end forever, the story of the demand to include Kuwait to Iraq by force, and Iraq will not think again to attack any other Gulf or Arab state.
The report stressed that Iraq's accession will strengthen the GCC and will not weaken it, Iraq when it joins, will not be greedy in the money of member states. It would also not aim to dismantle its financial constraints or open Gulf markets to Iraqi labor, but the opposite would happen. Member States may benefit economically from this accession more, as Gulf capitals will find a large market like the Iraqi market to invest in.
