I am not satisfied that it has been observed. That issue will have to pursued in the coming weeks and months. I welcomed the approval of the resolution in late February. We should bear in mind that it is a recent resolution. It sets out clearly the obligations of parties to the conflict to uphold humanitarian principles and international humanitarian law, as well as the actions which parties, including the Assad regime in particular, must cease. Our view is that it is a question now of implementing and enforcing it.
