| ...on Lebanon, we are deeply concerned about the use of force by Hezbollah against the Lebanese. We have warned for some time that Hezbollah—which is backed by Syria and Iran—is rearming and we have seen the manifestation of that and we continue to see it in terms of the unlawful use of force against Lebanese institutions and population. We expect the Security Council to address this issue... |

| My delegation believes that ultimate responsibility for ensuring timely performance by the Secretariat rests with the Secretary General. We urge the Secretary General to work with the heads of the relevant Departments to ensure that the recurrent problem of late reports is effectively addressed. |

| During the reporting period, Iranian-backed groups have launched numerous attacks on Iraqi civilians and Iraqi and multinational forces. The recent clashes between criminal militia elements and Iraqi government forces in Basrah and Baghdad have highlighted Iran's destabilizing influence and actions. |

| There are terrorist rocket attacks that kill Israelis to be condemned but we condemn all loss of innocent lives. At the same time the attacks against crossings by elements of Hamas, by Hamas, impacts the supply of humanitarian assistance. It seems that Hamas believes that the increased suffering of the Palestinians benefits them because they are attacking crossings through which humanitarian assistance comes to the people of Gaza. |

| Such a system would have been particularly useful in places like Zimbabwe. The United States remains extremely concerned about the situation there. Despite significant pre-election irregularities, the people of Zimbabwe expressed their will during the March 29 elections. It has been 18 days since the election and the results of the Presidential race still have not been announced. However, based on publicly-posted results, it is clear that the people of Zimbabwe voted overwhelmingly for change. |

| Every year, 1.2 million people around the world die on the roads, over 3000 each day, -- a toll comparable to that of Malaria or Tuberculosis, and 30-50 million are left injured and/or disabled. Most of these deaths and disabilities occur in developing countries, where the losses take a significant toll on familial and national incomes and reduce gross domestic products by 1% or more, and exceed the funds received in development assistance. |
