It was affirmed that the mechanism would not impair the operation of future or existing non-proliferation agreements, and that requests for sales to Iraq made by countries or Iraqi requests to export items should be addressed to the commission established in Resolution 661.

All countries were asked about arms supplies to Iraq and to submit information to the joint unit of the commission and the IAEA, and to notify the joint unit of any attempts by companies to circumvent the mechanism, and also cases where Iraq has not followed procedure.[2] Within 45 days, member states were to be provided with the relevant information from the special commission and director general of the IAEA regarding the implementation of the procedures of the mechanism.
