The extension was enacted under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter and was subject to further renewals by the council.[2] The previous resolution concerning this topic gave the Secretary-General of the United Nations more authority to administer the Programme. By the time of the adoption of Resolution 1476, the value of shippable priority items to Iraq reached US$548.6 million.[3]
