  24. The Council has a responsibility to address these humanitarian issues relating to situations of conflict and to take appropriate action. The Council's consideration of these issues lays the groundwork for such actions in the area of peacekeeping and peace-building. Today's debate, I understand, is an attempt to discuss the areas on which the Council should focus its attention and the actions it can take. The issue of access for United Nations and associated and other humanitarian personnel, humanitarian components in peace agreements and peacekeeping operations, coordination between the different actors and the question of resources could be some such areas. I am confident that there will be a rich exchange of ideas and that the Council will be able to sharpen its focus on the areas of action required.

  25. In many instances, the situation slowly worsens and a humanitarian crisis takes shape. Peace is difficult to achieve as, alongside the factors causing the conflict, there are humanitarian issues which need to be addressed. In today's world, the rules of war seem to have changed. We have seen in the recent past how massive violations of international humanitarian law and human rights have complicated conflict scenarios. Civilians and non-combatants - and, particularly, women, children and the vulnerable - are not spared the most atrocious criminal acts. Attacks on the personnel rendering much needed humanitarian assistance are becoming commonplace. These personnel have been denied access to those who need assistance and their supplies have been looted. As the human cost of war increases, the chances of sustaining peace and security recede.

  26. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Security Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations. Now it is time to take up the theme of the open debate. It is a great honour for me to be able to preside over the open debate on the theme "Maintaining peace and security: humanitarian aspects of the issues before the Security Council". The subject of the debate is important and topical. The Charter of the United Nations confers upon the Security Council the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. In acquitting this function in today's world, a broad, more proactive approach is needed. The reasons are not far to seek. There are occasions of flagrant violations of international law giving rise to a conflict.
