Urges the President to request that: (1) the Secretary General of the United Nations (UN) direct the UN Environmental Program and other appropriate UN organizations to monitor the long-term environmental and public health impacts resulting from the destruction of natural resources in the Persian Gulf region; and (2) the UN Compensation Commission give high priority to environmental damages as a category of claims, provide a special and substantial allocation for such category in the UN Compensation Fund, include within such allocation funds for consolidated claims and reimbursement to various governmental and private organizations for expedited damage assessments to the environment and public health as a result of the oil fires and slick, and provide for reimbursement of cleanup and restoration costs.

Encourages the governments of nations affected by Iraq's acts of ecoterrorism to take further steps to mitigate the environmental and public health damages caused by such acts.
