THE CHANGING FACE OF IRAQ

The formation last month of the Arab Cooperation Council (ACC) by Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Yemen Arab Republic (North Yemen ) occasioned only mild international interest and not much more that polite statements of welcome from some of the other Arab states. The ACC's sotto voce debut is in contrast to wide publicity given to the establishment in 1981 of its precursor and probable model, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
