Secretary-General’s press encounter outside the Security Council Chamber<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

25 October 2005<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

(unofficial transcript)<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Q:   … what is your impression of the report? How serious is this moment for Syria?<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

SG:  I have indicated that quite clear.  I think [Detlev] Mehlis has done solid and serious work.  As you know, I have extended his mandate to the 15th of December, for him to continue his work.  And the [Security] Council is discussing the report right now.  And obviously, at the end of it, if there’s anything to be shared with you, the President will come out and do it.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Q:  Is now the right time for sanctions?<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

SG:  As I said, we are at a stage in the process.  We are not at the end of the process yet.  And I think what is important is that we get to the truth, and everyone cooperates with Mehlis so that we can get to the truth.  <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

We also have to understand that after this, there will be a judicial process, and we should be careful not to do anything that interferes with the judicial process or the rights of the accused.  <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Q:  Are you concerned about the threats to Mehlis?<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

SG:  Well, he has been able to do his work and he is going to continue doing his work.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Q:  How best to compel Syrian cooperation in this case?<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

SG:  I think the Council may have some advice on that.  They are working on these issues now.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
