The UN has said it’s willing to cooperate with national authorities, including the Indian government, if they wanted to undertake further investigations into the Volcker Committee report.
Farhan Haq, spokesman, office of UN Secretary General, told The Indian Express that if necessary, the UN and the Volcker panel were willing to “take action” against any corporations or individuals under their jurisdiction.
A spokesman of the Permanent Mission of India to the UN, said the Ambassador, Nirupam Sen, is in constant touch with offices of Secretary General and Volcker Committee on the issue. Sen has sought an appointment with Paul Volcker, who is chairman of the Independent Inquiry Committee into the Oil for Food Program.
However, Haq said that the UN and Volcker Committee were unlikely to share any information to any “private association” or a “political party” about the findings of the independent inquiry into the Oil for Food programme.
