Kofi Annan Resolution Quotations

Iraq has a new opportunity to comply with all these relevant resolutions of the Security Council.

I am thankful that the resolution passed tonight, ... I hope we will move ahead with urgent and determined action to help the Liberian people.

It is a serious matter. And we shouldn't forget that the council as a whole got the resolution only last Monday, ... For them to take time and discuss this issue seriously is something we should be grateful for.

Let me say that I don't think that the Council will say this is in contravention of the resolution of the Security Council,

We've indicated quite clearly what the U.N. has achieved and has done since the passage of Resolution 1483. And we have also indicated and spelled out the areas where the U.N. can make further contributions.

Blix until now has been guided by approved Security Council resolutions. If the council were to pass a new resolution giving him fresh guidelines, he will have to factor that in before he continues with his work, which will be up to the council ... to determine what the next stage will be.

I very much welcome this. I think it is a good resolution in itself -- no less important is the fact that it has been adopted unanimously,

I hope that the day will soon come when Resolution 425 is fully implemented, ... The question is, how do you go about this? ... Facts have been created on the ground. How could those facts impact on the implementation?
