1 Figures include corrections to awards pursuant to article 41 of the Provisional rules for claims procedure.

2 Figures represent amounts made available and paid to the claimant Governments and submitting entities but are net of all paid but undistributed funds returned to the Commission.

3 Including one consolidated claim filed by the Central Bank of the Government of Egypt on behalf of 915,527 of its nationals with approximately 1,240,000 claims (the Egyptian Workers’ Claims), with a total asserted value of US$491,098,538. The claim was awarded US$84,393,992 in respect of 223,817 claims.

4 Including 31,868 individual claims from “bedouns” for a fixed amount of US$2,500 each, submitted to the Commission by the Government of the State of Kuwait in accordance with the special programme established by the Governing Council at its fifty-second session in June 2004.

5 This figure does not include a net amount of US$50.2 million no longer payable to the claimant Governments and other submitting entities mainly because the claimants were not located by the deadline of 30 September 2006 set by the Governing Council for the location of claimants and the submission of request for the payments.
