AP - Martin Kobler, the U.N. special representative, told the Security Council Tuesday that camp residents' lives must be protected and that their forced removal would be "ill-advised and unacceptable."

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has said Camp Ashraf, housing more than 3,000 members of the People's Mujahedeen Organization of Iran, must be closed by year's end.

Iraqi Ambassador to the U.N. Hamid Al-Bayati told the council his country "doesn't want to force anybody to go back to Iran."
