وفضلاً عن ذلك ينص مقرر مجلس الإدارة رقم 46 (S/AC.26/Dec.46(1998)) على أنه يجب فيما يتعلق بالمطالبات من الفئة "واو-4" "ألا تعوض اللجنة خسائر ما مستندة فقط إلى بيان تفسيري يقدمه صاحب المطالبة".
In addition, Governing Council decision 46 (S/AC.26/Dec.46 (1998)) states that, for category “F” claims, “no loss shall be compensated by the Commission solely on the basis of an explanatory statement provided by the claimant.” When recommending compensation for environmental damage or loss that has been found to be a direct result of Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait, the Panel has in every case assured itself that the applicable evidentiary requirements regarding the circumstances and amount of the damage or loss claimed have been satisfied.
