United Nation's
Statement on the term "Persian Gulf"
The following is from the UN directive in regards to the name of
the Persian Gulf:UN
directive of August 18 1994 {94-33224 (E) 180894} Stating: "Attention is
once again drawn to editorial directive ST/CS/SER.A/29 and Corr.1 and Add.1
on the use of the term 'Persian Gulf'. The purpose of the present addendum
is to urge that care be taken to ensure the appropriate use of this term in
documents, publications and statements prepared by the Secretariat. The full
term 'Persian
Gulf' should be
used in every case instead of the shorter term 'Gulf', including in
repetitions of the term after its initial use in a text." Or the May 14,
1999 { 99-14427 (E) 200599 UNST/CS/SER.A/29/Rev.1} , which is stipulating
the follow: "1. The term 'Persian Gulf' is used in documents, publications
and statements emanating from the Secretariat as the standard geographical
designation for the sea area between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. The
full term 'Persian Gulf'
is always used to
designate that sea area when it is first referred to in a text and is
repeated thereafter whenever necessary for the sake of clarity. 2. The term
'Gulf' is used in documents, publications and statements emanating from the
Secretariat to identify or refer to the general geographical area
surrounding or adjacent to the sea area referred to in paragraph 1 above or
to refer to the situation around that sea area. The terms 'Gulf area', 'Gulf
region' and 'Gulf States' are examples of such usage.
