Mr. Ben Mustapha
I wish at the outset to thank the delegations of France and of the United Kingdom for having prepared the draft resolution on which we have just noted. We also thank you, Mr. President, for your own personal efforts towards its unanimous adoption by the Security Council.
Tunisia voted in favour of the draft resolution even though some provisions do not command our complete support. We wished, th…
Mr. Shen Guofang
It has been more than three years since the beginning of the oil for food programme for Iraq, a programme that has contributed to easing the humanitarian suffering of Iraqi civilians. Since the sanctions against Iraq have not yet been lifted or suspended, the extension of the programme will help improve the humanitarian situation in Iraq. For that reason, we have adopted a
positive position with…
Mr. Lavrov
The Russian delegation voted in favour of the draft resolution, because of the need to continue the United Nations humanitarian programme in Iraq. We consider it important that the resolution establishes the level of appropriations for the rehabilitation of the oil sector in Iraq at $600 million, and includes a new notification regime for water and sanitation contracts and medicines.
We regret, …
Mr. van Walsum
In voting for this resolution, my delegation has also expressed its
support for the request the Council is addressing to the Secretary-General to appoint independent experts to prepare a comprehensive report and analysis of the humanitarian situation in Iraq.

Mr. Cunningham
I simply wanted to say that our work on, and support for, this unanimous resolution results from my delegation's concern for the difficult circumstances that the people of Iraq find themselves in while the Iraqi Government fails to comply with Security Council resolutions.
I would like to associate myself with the remarks of Ambassador Greenstock, both in terms of the resolution and with regard …
Mr. Lavrov
I do apologize for asking for the floor again, but I should like to continue this discussion that has developed and which relates to the implementation of Security Council resolutions on Iraq.
Some of my colleagues have just said in response to my statement that their use of force against Iraq — which has continued all along and which has intensified in the last year and a half — is based on a r…
Mr. Shen Guofang
I should like to make a few comments on the no-fly zone.
China’s opposition to the no-fly zone is known to all. China has never recognized the so-called no-fly zone. We believe that the report to be submitted by the independent experts should address the impact of the so-called no-fly zone. The report which the resolution requests the Secretary-General to submit should offer an exhaustive analys…
Mr. Lavrov
I wish simply to state that when I asked that we be given a rationale for the existence of the no-fly zones and the use of force there, I requested them of the United Nations Secretariat, not of any national delegation.
The President
There are no further speakers on my list. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Security Council will remain seized of the matter.
