To date has the international community given that process or those efforts the necessary assistance and support? To my knowledge, UN Resolution 2155 is focused on four particular tasks - protection, human rights, humanitarian assistance and cessation of hostilities. Is that particular resolution adequate and has the United Nations addressed the issues of greatest urgency in the conflict to date? Like the Chairman, I compliment the personnel of those organisations who are working in extremely difficult circumstances. We all hope they are safe and that they can go about their tasks in a safe manner.
