  1. “We must meet it. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I shall now give the floor to the other members of the Security Council.”

  2. “Syria is perhaps the defining conflict of our age, not just for those in the region, but for all of us. It has shown all too clearly where there are failures in our humanitarian and political responses. And the World Humanitarian Summit next year will be a vital moment for us to commit to a new twenty-first century response to protracted crises that brings together our development and humanitarian work and human rights. In this age of crisis, that Summit will be a vital moment to recommit ourselves to our humanitarian values and law. As Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon and the International Committee of the Red Cross President Peter Maurer have said, now is the moment to rally for humankind. We must respond to that call for the sake of Syria and for the wider world and future generations. That is our shared responsibility and challenge.”

  3. “As is the case in all conflicts, girls and women have been left the most vulnerable to violence, abuse and exploitation. As we meet today, there is a long list of things that we will fail to agree on in relation to the Syrian crisis, but help for those caught up in the crisis and the ability of humanitarian aid to reach those in need should not be on that list. Those are things that we should be able to agree on. There can be no excuse for flouting humanitarian law. There can be no excuse for preventing humanitarian agencies from reaching those in need. The Council must make that clear. We agreed on resolution 2191 (2014) on allowing the United Nations to use cross-border routes. That resolution has been critical to helping us get aid to people who otherwise would have none. It is essential that we renew that resolution.”

  4. “It is the deliberate disregard for international humanitarian law, all too often dressed up in a false and perverse argument of sovereignty. A negotiated political transition is the sole way to end the conflict in Syria and is key to alleviating the humanitarian crisis. I am encouraged by the constructive discussions in Vienna and the new momentum behind the process working towards peace for the people of Syria. But until that political settlement is reached, we must recommit to ending the targeted and indiscriminate attacks on civilians, particularly aerial attacks and shelling; to protecting health facilities, schools and essential infrastructure; to ensuring unimpeded access for humanitarian organizations; to ending the use of siege tactics and to preventing and responding to gender-based violence.”

  5. “Let us not forget that our response to this crisis, the actions we take or do not take on Syria, will define how we respond to other protracted emergencies: the challenge of educating whole generations of children at risk of being left to conflict and, with forced displacement likely to remain a major feature of the global landscape, the challenge of supporting refugees and the countries that host them. But we recognize that humanitarian action alone is not sufficient. Syria is not a natural disaster; it is a man-made one. We all know what is causing the deaths and suffering. The Al-Assad regime bears the primary responsibilty. It is Al-Assad's barrel bombs, but the brutality of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant is a major factor as well. It is the targeting and killing of aid workers.”

  6. “Time is running out for the international community as we try to cope with the overwhelming number of refugees who have themselves run out of hope and are now looking elsewhere to build a new life for themselves and their families. Since day one, Britain has worked hard to help people on the ground and has been at the forefront of the humanitarian response to the crisis, pledging $1.7 billion to date. But the need is immense and growing. Greater efforts are needed, not only to meet people's basic needs but to provide jobs and an education for Syria's children. That is why our Prime Minister has just announced that the United Kingdom will co-host a global conference on the Syrian crisis in February 2016. The conference must be a turning point. It must raise the resources and deliver the policy changes that are needed.”

  7. “The generosity of the countries bearing the brunt of the refugees, such as Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, have not been matched by similar generosity on the part of the whole international community. United Nations appeals are 45 per cent funded. Overwhelming suffering and loss have been matched by political deadlocks and an inadequate financial response. My message to the Council today is that for Syria, for its people and for us all, time is now running out. Time is running out for us to meet the most basic needs of the Syrian people, whether they are inside Syria or have fled the country. Time is running out for the whole generation of Syria's children who have been robbed of a childhood, an education and a future.”

  8. “I thank Ms. Zerrougui for her briefing. I shall now make a statement in my national capacity as Secretary of State for International Development of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Let me thank Mr. Stephen O'Brien, Ms. Zainab Bangura and Ms. Leila Zerrougui for their sobering briefings. The United Kingdom expresses its condolences in relation to the terrorist attacks of recent days in Paris, Beirut and elsewhere. They are a vivid reminder of the horrific human toll taken by the Syrian and regional cr1s1s. Like others in the Council today, I have met Syrian refugees who have fled the bloodshed and violence consuming their country for over four years now; their tales are of experiences that no one should have to go through. We must accept that these people have been let down.”

To the families of the Victims, both French and from 19 other countries, at this point, and to the people and the Government of France, the Security Council expresses its heartfelt sympathy and condolences. These and other recent attacks, including the terrorist attacks in Beirut on 12 November, have affected countries and people from all over the world. The members of the Security Council offer their sympathy and condolences to all of the countries affected.”
