This morning, as President of the Security Council, I said that we could not let the day end without making an appeal for the cessation of hostilities, and that is what we have done this evening.

The deaths of recent days and months in the Middle East are excessive, as are the collective punishment in Lebanon, the bombs in Israel and the insecurity for everyone. Chile rejects force as a means of political solution - the anonymous force of terrorism and open military force, as well as the constant threat of the use of force.”

It is a matter of the lives of human beings, most of whom are civilians and who, in the final analysis, are the innocent victims of this sad and deplorable episode.
