Humanitarian Issues in Post-War Iraq: Statements.
I would like to spend more time discussing this issue. I outlined earlier how Ireland can play its part. We will do our utmost to continue to do what we do best at a humanitarian level, but also at UN level, which is very important. Ireland can play a very important role at the UN, of which it is a highly respected member. We were asked specifically by Kofi Annan to go to Liberia. We have not been asked to go to Iraq. However, we will do our utmost to help shape the involvement and engagement of the UN in Iraq in the coming months.
