====Saudi–Iraqi neutral zone====
It was an area of {{cvt|7044|km2|sqmi ha acre}} on the border between [[Saudi Arabia]] and [[Ba'athist Iraq|Iraq]] within which the border between the two countries had not been settled. The neutral zone came into existence following the [[Uqair Protocol of 1922]] that defined the border between Iraq and the [[Sultanate of Nejd]] (Saudi Arabia's predecessor state). An agreement to partition the neutral zone was reached by Iraqi and Saudi representatives on 26 December 1981, and approved by the Iraqi National Assembly on 28 January 1982. The territory was divided on an unknown date between 28 January and 30 July 1982.<ref name=":0"/> Notice was given to the United Nations in June 1991.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP86T01017R000100470001-8.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170120010225/https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP86T01017R000100470001-8.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=2017-01-20|title=Saudi Arabia/Iraq: Neutral Zone Partitioned|publisher=CIA Directorate of Intelligence|date=1986-02-28|access-date=2020-10-22}}</ref><ref name="arch">{{cite web|author=Schofield, Richard|title=Arabian Boundary disputes, Archive Editions|publisher=Archive Editions|url=http://www.archiveeditions.co.uk/titledetails.asp?tid=34|access-date=29 January 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080423153144/http://www.archiveeditions.co.uk/titledetails.asp?tid=34|archive-date=2008-04-23 |url-status=live }}</ref>
