Condemning yesterday’s attack in Baghdad on the Polish Ambassador to Iraq,
the Security Council today called on the international community to support the
Iraqi Government in protecting the diplomatic community, United Nations staff
and other foreign civilian personnel.
The
Ambassador sustained injuries in the attack, while at least two people were
killed – including a member of his personal security detachment team and an
Iraqi civilian. Two other people sustained injuries.
In a
presidential statment read out by Ghanaian Ambassador Leslie Kojo Christian, who
holds the Council’s rotating presidency this month, the 15-member body
expressed its deepest sympathy and sent condolences to the victims’ families
and to the Polish Government.
“The
Security Council underlines the need to bring the perpetrators, organizers,
financiers and sponsors of this act to justice,” Mr. Christian said, calling
on all States to cooperate with the Polish and Iraqi Governments.
The
Council also reiterated that “any acts of terrorism are criminal and
unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by
whomsoever committed.”
