<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>Under the presidency of Sir Jeremy Greenstock, Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Security Council dealt with a range of issues in April. Much of the Security Council’s time was devoted to African issues, but the Council also considered a wide range of other specific situations. During the month the Council adopted three resolutions and one presidential statement. It held six public meetings, one private meeting and its members met in informal consultations on 14 occasions. Two meetings with troop-contributing countries were also held.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\t<\/span>Council members heard a briefing by the Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Hédi Annabi, on what they saw as a dangerous escalation across the blue line between Israel and Lebanon established by the United Nations. They also expressed deep concern at the recent violent action in the Gaza Strip and surrounding areas. In expressing their support for the statement issued by the Secretary-General on 16 April, Council members condemned the renewed cycle of violence that has inflamed the already tense situation in the region. They called on all parties to respect the blue line, to exercise maximum restraint and to refrain from any action that would exacerbate the situation further. They also insisted on respect for Security Council resolutions <\/span>425 (1978) <\/a>and <\/span>1337 (2001)<\/a>. Council members will continue to follow the situation in the region very closely.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
