Chapter VII is basically a UN classifivation that Iraq was put under because they were deemed a threat to peace.
What it allows is this... when the UN wants to impose sanctions on a country they have a complicated process and vote. Once a country is under chapter VII they no longer have to go through that prcocess. Chapter VII is kinda big catch all... and allows sanctions to be imposed quickly and with all the process and votes.
Practically all sanctions have already been lifted from Iraq. The only sanction remaining is one that forbids them from dealing in arms. The other effect is that The Development Fund for Iraq is under international control at this point. Once VII is lifted, the Development Fund will be under the control of Iraq.
