The representative from Kuwait cited the many effects of the Gulf War on the air, land and marine environment of the Persian Gulf region. It will require many years or decades of hard work to restore the environment. UNEP reasserted the need to determine the long-term effects on the region and to mobilize the necessary resources to do this. Kuwait commended UNEP on taking a coordinating role on this important issue.
