“The Iraqi Government urges the Syrian Government to provide access for international organizations to reach civilians trapped in conflict areas so as to provide them with food, medical services and basic necessities. Furthermore, Iraq is concerned over reports of the use of chemical weapons in the conflict, in particular in the light of the fact that the Iraqi people have suffered from the use of such internationally banned weapons. In conclusion, the solution of the Syrian crisis lies with those Syrians who truly want a peaceful settlement that would provide for a prosperous future for all sectors of Syrian society, living in peace and security. My Government has supported and continues to support the convening of a second Geneva conference to consider ways and means to find a solution acceptable to all parties to the conflict.”

“We call on all sides, Arab and non-Arab alike, to cease providing financial and military support to all militias and Islamic militant groups, which we believe can only further complicate matters. In the light of Iraq's support for the resolution of the crisis, my Government has been a keen participant in the conferences that we believe may help all sides to reach a viable solution to stop the conflict, whose negative effects on the region and on Iraq in particular are quite clear. My Government has made its position very clear in meetings held with the moderate Syrian opposition, which is seeking a peaceful solution and working to establish a democratic constitutional system that satisfies the demands and aspirations of the Syrian people.”

“With regard to the security and political situations, the position of the Iraqi Government since the early days of the crisis has been one of support for a peaceful resolution of the crisis by the Syrians themselves coming to the negotiating table to stop the spilling of Syrian blood. We have provided clear support for the efforts of the United Nations, including those of the Special Envoys of the Secretary-General, Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi and Mr. Kofi Annan. We voiced our support for the six-point solution proposed by Mr. Kofi Annan to resolve the crisis in Syria. Here we reaffirm our position that Iraq does not support any military or foreign intervention.”

“Furthermore, those Syrians who are financially capable are given the freedom to choose where they want to settle within Iraq. We have also extended an invitation to the Secretary-General and his representatives for humanitarian affairs to visit Iraq and inspect the conditions of the Syrian refugees. We take this opportunity to recall the assistance provided by the Iraqi Government in facilitating the successful visit of Ms. Leila Zerrougui, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflicts, and her team to inspect the conditions of Syrian children in Iraq.”

“In recognition of how the Syrian people hosted a great number of Iraqi refugees during the crisis our country faced, the Iraqi Government contributed $10 million at the international donors conference on Syria held in Kuwait, and established a $40-million fund to assist Syrians. Furthermore, the Government is providing monthly grants of $400 to families and of $150 to unmarried individuals. We note that Iraq provides this financial assistance without requesting any compensation from the international community. The Iraqi Government is also providing social services to its Syrian guests by opening its school doors to all Syrian boys and girls, at all levels, so that they can continue their education without interruption. Iraq is also providing medical services at Government hospitals unconditionally.”

“Mr. Alhakim (Iraq) (spoke in Arabic): Allow me at the outset to thank you, Madam President, and to congratulate the United States of America upon its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month. I would like to express my appreciation to the representative of the United Kingdom, Ambassador Sir Mark Lyall Grant, who presided over the Council last month. In the light of the humanitarian situation faced by our brothers the Syrian people, and as an imperative humanitarian duty, the Iraqi Government has taken a number of measures to alleviate the suffering experienced by our brothers in Syria.”
