  1. “I thank Mr. Egeland for the clarifications he has provided. There are no further speakers inscribed on my list. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The meeting rose at 11.55 am. 06-52438”

  2. “In July alone, nine humanitarian workers were killed. In that context, we believe strongly that the only way to improve the situation is if we all work collectively to implement resolution 1706 (2006) and to uphold the Darfur Peace Agreement. As we have said before, there cannot be any military solution to the Darfur crisis. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I shall now give the floor to Mr. Egeland to respond to the comments and questions raised.”

  3. “Regional actors and the international community should spare no effort to ensure that resources are adequately allocated to northern Uganda, including for humanitarian assistance and the sustainable reintegration of the conflict- affected population. As far as the Sudan and, more particularly, Darfur are concerned, in 2003 we had the largest operation in the world, which was extremely effective. Now, unfortunately, it is at the brink of total collapse, touching what some have called the Rwandan threshold. Indicatively, during the past few weeks, the number of gross violations of human rights, including rape, has risen dramatically. The number of internally displaced persons has risen by 50,000, while humanitarian access has been severely restricted due to the fact that humanitarian workers are being targeted.”

  4. “We should commend the efforts of the United Nations humanitarian agencies working in the field - engaging in a humanitarian marathon, I would say - and, as Mr. Egeland said, saving lives on a daily basis, despite the dire conditions in which they work. There is also hope for a political settlement in northern Uganda following the Juba agreement with the Lord's Resistance Army. The 20-year conflict has caused immense suffering, with thousands of victims and 2 million people displaced. Everybody has understood that no military solution could be applied. Only the success of the peace process can create the sense of security necessary for the safe return of the internally displaced persons and the rebuilding of the Acholi and Ugandan societies. We should do our utmost to support it.”

  5. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Greece. I would like to thank the Under-Secretary- General for Humanitarian Affairs, Mr. Egeland, for today's very interesting briefing on the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, northern Uganda and other areas. The political situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, although still fragile, gives us reason to be optimistic about an overall improvement of the situation as soon as a democratically elected Government is in place. In the meantime, violence still poses an ongoing threat to untold numbers of Congolese, including the sexual abuse of women, particularly in the strife-torn eastern provinces, while in Katanga the problem of 150,000 internally displaced persons persists.”

  6. “In accordance with the understanding reached in the Council's prior consultations, I shall take it that the Security Council agrees to extend an invitation under rule 39 of its provisional rules of procedure to Mr. Ian Egeland, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator. It is so decided. I invite Mr. Egeland to take a seat at the Council table. 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. At this meeting, the Security Council will hear a briefing by Mr. Jan Egeland, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator. I now give him the floor.”
