I welcome the witnesses and thank them for their submissions and statements. Mr. Murphy spoke about the enforced exit from Chad and the uncertainty at that time. That is where the rubber hits the road in all of this - the practicalities arising from decisions and waiting. He described the situation in graphic detail. He also expressed his concerns about what could happen in Lebanon if there were to be a decision made or issues raised as part of it. I wanted to put that on record.

A lot of people have spoken about guardrails. I absolutely agree with guardrails but is it not the case that one such guardrail we have under the present legislation is the consent or abstention of the five permanent members?
