We support an all-inclusive process and we had hoped that this electoral process ... would pull the Iraqis together, ... It has not worked as we had hoped, but we still urge the parties to work together and I believe the reversal by the parliament of the decision last night would help the process.
I do not understand these Ivorian leaders, these men who believe they are capable of leading a country, who are seeking to become president of a country they are in the process of destroying.
Leaders in the region remain engaged in the process of convincing President Saddam and the Iraqi leadership to disarm and cooperate with inspectors,

It's been difficult, ... He's had to make compromises to move the process ahead. It was never going to be easy ... but now that the new government is installed, we all need to look forward.
The process has been difficult, but the outcome is a clear demonstration of the will of all the members of the Security Council to place the interest of the Iraqi people above all other considerations.
The only way to halt an escalation of violence is for Israelis and Palestinians to work towards a viable negotiating process aimed at a just, lasting and comprehensive settlement,

Camp David made major strides, and I hope we would be able to capitalize on that process and reach an agreement,
In short, we need a process that is both performance-driven and hope-driven, because we need both performance and hope,

We will take the measures to make sure poor and rich have access to the medications and the vaccines required,
