the United Nations will do whatever we can to help.
I've been in touch with the two leaders, and I appeal to them to do whatever they can to bring the situation under control and bring an end to the violence,
We do not want women, particularly poor women, around the world to suffer, so we are going to do whatever we can to try and bridge the gap until such time that the U.S. position changes,
We must not promise too much or raise expectations higher than are justified by the will of governments to act, but we must do whatever we can to raise the standards of international behavior and responsibility. I think we can only hope to succeed in that if we have a very clear idea of what was wrong up to now.
Let us remember that every person who is infected, whatever the reason, is a fellow human being with human rights and human needs,
We have a clear mandate from the Security Council to do whatever we can to work with the government and the people of Iraq to make sure Iraq takes charge of its own future and develops a stable peaceful society,
It's incumbent on the leaders to really do whatever they can to reign in their forces and ensure that innocent civilians are not the ones to pay the price,
It is also encouraging that the leaders and countries around the world have concluded that whatever solution one finds must be legitimized through the Security Council.
I suspect, whatever happens in the future, that kind of consultation will take place.
I think (the US government is) positive to our assistance from the UN and the international community ... We are prepared to do whatever we can,
Whatever our differences, in our interdependent world, we stand or fall together, ... Even the strongest among us cannot succeed alone...We cannot succeed without the leadership of the strong and the engagement of all.
too early to say who's going to take charge and who's going to run the government.
We will take the measures to make sure poor and rich have access to the medications and the vaccines required,
The scale of this tragedy almost defies our darkest imagination. We meet today to prevent a second shockwave of deaths and to prevent further suffering.
