(9 Sep 2016) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: AP CLIENTS ONLY
AGENCY POOL - AP CLIENTS ONLY
Geneva - 9 September 2016
1. UN special envoy on Syria, Staffan de Mistura and Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Stephen O'Brien arriving for briefing
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Staffan de Mistura, UN special envoy on Syria:
"If they do succeed and the UN as been actively involved in supporting those discussions and, hopefully, also in supporting the conclusions then the conclusions could make - let's be frank - a major difference. One on the renewal, or relaunching, of cessation of hostilities, which in turn, unavoidably since the problems in Syria are not caused by rain, lack of rain, or earthquakes but by war, would have a major impact on the humanitarian access. And in turn, would be having a positive impact on the way the political process could be relaunched. So, these meetings today are important."
3. Cutaway
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Stephen O'Brien, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator:
"We discussed how the UN and its implementing humanitarian partners are ready to be able to deliver for the people who have life saving, life support and protection needs and continue to suffer under the current circumstances. So, the readiness of the UN was affirmed, the detailed plans are in place with just the usual short-term notice of getting a green light and then the reality of having trucks getting loaded, making sure that the truck drivers feel safe enough to able to get in their cabs and to drive along secure routes to deliver to the people in need was firmed. And a very important point as we approached the solemn religious holidays of Eid that the readiness was not affected by that and that of course some adjustments will have to be made."
5. De Mistura and O'Brien
STORYLINE:
United Nations special envoy on Syria, Staffan de Mistura said the ongoing talks between the US and Russia to forge a nationwide truce in Syria, could "make a major difference", if they reach a conclusion.
