1. “We will therefore do our utmost to end this war as soon as possible and to alleviate the suffering of our brothers and help them cope with the effects of the war." Jordan would like to reiterate its appeal to the international community and the parties concerned to live up to their international responsibilities to ease the plight of the Iraqi people so that they may overcome their current situation. We call for an end to the war and for the provision and delivery of the necessary humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people. We also call upon the Security Council to live up to its responsibilities, including by adopting a new resolution on the oil for food programme as soon as possible. The dangerous crises in the Middle East also make it essential that we succeed in our efforts to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”

2. “We also seek to avoid violation of Iraq's territorial integrity, natural resources and national unity. Jordan is saddened and regrets the humanitarian situation in Iraq, and would like to express our deep concern with regard to this subject. We reaffirm our commitment to provide whatever assistance and humanitarian aid may be necessary - in particular as concerns Iraqi refugees. His Majesty the King of Jordan has made the following statement to the people of Jordan: "We are deeply committed to meeting our humanitarian and fraternal responsibilities vis-a- vis the Iraqi people to the extent of our capabilities.”

3. “Mr. AI-Hussein (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): The Council of Ministers of the League of Arab States recently held a meeting to consider the very dangerous situation in Iraq. That meeting adopted a decision reflecting the feelings of the Arab people. In that regard, Jordan affirmed, as part of international efforts, the need to find a peaceful solution to the Iraqi crisis in order to avoid war and its negative and devastating effects, both in Iraq and in the region. However, most regrettably, it was not possible to find such a solution. Jordan is continuing to expand its contacts with fraternal Arab countries and members of the international community in order to end hostilities as soon as possible and to avert more physical and human casualties.”
