1. “The report clearly demonstrates the magnitude of the task incumbent upon all of us to ensure the effective protection of civilians in times of conflict. This should be a collective and multidimensional effort, with the primary obligation and responsibility resting first and foremost with States. Yet the entire international community, including non-governmental organizations and international organizations, has a responsibility to protect civilians. Almost everything has already been said this morning in terms of what can and what should be done. The Secretary-General's report also offers some useful recommendations, so I will not elaborate any further on those points. However, allow me to highlight one issue of a very sensitive nature that bears the risk of undermining or weakening our efforts if it is not handled carefully.”

2. “It also proved once again the need for all parties to respect their obligations under international humanitarian law. That said, Gaza has not been the only case where civilians have faced danger during armed conflict. Indeed, the issue of the protection of civilians has been particularly high on the agenda of the Council during recent years, and especially since the beginning of this year, for we have been Witnessing extremely dire challenges in many parts of the world, in terms of providing a safe and secure environment for civilians. It was in that frame of mind that my delegation studied carefully the recent report of the Secretary- General (S/2009/277), which gives a comprehensive account of the latest situation in various theatres and the difficulties encountered in protecting civilians.”

3. “I shall now make a statement in my national capacity. I too thank Under-Secretary-General John Holmes for his comprehensive briefing. Today a great number of casualties in armed conflict continue to be civilians, and the numbers are constantly increasing. We condemn in the strongest possible terms all deliberate acts against civilians and deaths resulting from the indiscriminate and excessive use of force. The challenge for all of us is to stop such killings and reverse the alarming trend. On this issue, the credibility of the Security Council is also at stake. Council members will all recall that our debate in January (see S/PV.6066) was held in the shadow of the tragic developments in Gaza. Indeed, what happened in Gaza was a stark reminder of the vulnerability of civilians in times of armed conflict.”

It is for that reason that we awaited with great expectation a positive outcome to the negotiations within the Group of Friends. Unfortunately, the Group was unable to come to an understanding on the issue until last night. In order not to cause an abrupt termination of the United Nations presence, we agreed to co-sponsor a simple technical rollover that would have extended the present mandate by two more weeks. That could have provided additional time to conduct further consultations on the issue. Unfortunately, that was not possible. So we are where we are now. This should not be seen as Turkey's giving up the efforts to provide a United Nations presence in Georgia.”
