Concerned that these features give rise to a heightened risk of overstatement, the Panel undertook appropriate measures to assist in the verification and valuation of the claims.

But the remaining people are honest and will not sell their country for a few dinars (Kuwaiti currency).

Following the liberation of Kuwait and the reinstatement of the Kuwaiti dinars, these claimants were left with Iraqi dinars that at best could be exchanged on the unofficial market at de minimus rates.

Claimants asserting this loss as a D4 (personal property) loss allege that during the period of Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait they were forced to exchange their Kuwaiti dinars for Iraqi dinars at the rate of one to one.

The Farah Report documents an unofficial exchange rate or market rate of about 10 to 12 Iraqi dinars to a Kuwaiti dinar in July 1990 (see page 81, paragraph 513 of the Farah Report).

The Panel recalls that the Commission has consistently recognized that losses resulting from the forced exchange of Kuwaiti dinars into Iraqi dinars or the receipt of Iraqi dinars in lieu of Kuwaiti dinars at the exchange rate of one to one are compensable losses directly resulting from Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait.
