We will miss him, and we wish him luck in his new duties. I would now like to make a statement in my capacity as representative of Mexico. I would like to join other speakers in thanking Mr. Annabi for his briefing and the information that he has given us.

I should also like to thank him most especially for his willingness to respond to questions related to other items that were not on the agenda, in particular the situation in Iraq. In that connection, various countries members of the Security Council have expressed interest in the possibility that, in the near future, the Council might be able to continue to engage in dialogue with Mr. Morris on the situation in Iraq and on the role that the World Food Programme will play.

19. “Morris pointed out that $1.8 billion is needed, which seems an extraordinary figure but which is not, if we compare it to today's worldwide military expenditures, which are vastly greater than that figure. Given all that, I would like to simply underscore Ambassador Greenstock's question. From that point of view and taking all the factors into account, what would Mr. Morris say could be done right now by the Security Council, beyond what has already been established as an immediate task, in terms of donors and in terms of the attention that the Security Council should give this item? What does Mr. Morris think the Security Council should do together with other United Nations bodies to tackle a crisis of the magnitude and dimensions that he has described to us?

In these circumstances, and given the cited combination of internal and external factors, the international community has a commitment. Mr.”

21. “I wish to make a comment and to ask a question in my capacity as the representative of Mexico. As Mr. Morris has starkly shown, the food situation in Southern Africa and in other parts of Africa clearly leaves us perplexed in the light of a commitment that the international community still has not managed to fully meet. But food security, which is a moral imperative and a colossal challenge, is also an issue that must be resolved through profound changes in the region. It is clear that human beings have an inalienable right to a healthy and balanced diet. To that end, an immediate challenge is to increase sustainable food production and, on that basis, make the benefits of that production available to the most vulnerable sectors.”

Therefore, I request members of the Council to limit questions and comments to strictly necessary ones so that this can be an interactive information meeting, rather than a meeting of statements.”

48. “Combating terrorism requires a far-reaching response that goes to the root cause of such acts and addresses the underlying social, economic and human situation. Nothing can justify terrorism, but there are explanations for it. The best weapons to use against terrorism are sustainable development and those that tackle in a comprehensive manner the humanitarian problems generated by conflict in various parts of the world. In this endeavour, we should not overlook the fact that the promotion of human rights, tolerance and education are vital elements that must be taken into account in tackling terrorism. This is the new culture of understanding and the rule of law that the fight against terrorism demands. The United Nations certainly has a key role to play in realizing that vision.”

That is the difficult task that lies ahead. The decision of the Organization of American States shortly to convene a meeting to follow up the 6 March meeting is a clear indication of the commitment of the hemisphere in this regard. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Secretary-General for his report (S/2003/191), submitted pursuant to the provisions of resolution 1456 (2003). My Government has taken due note of its contents, and in this context we would like to highlight a few points to which my delegation has already referred.”

50. “Furthermore, the Committee has adopted the right course in promoting the idea that, on a voluntary basis, States might include reports presented to other organizations as part of the information they submit to the Committee itself. That would help to avoid the duplication of efforts and lighten the burden on States in terms of reporting requirements. Clearly the confidentiality required by States must be preserved. The special meeting of the CTC on 6 March with international, regional and subregional organizations represented a successful step forward. That meeting reaffirmed the will and the need to act in an effective and coordinated fashion.”
