Thank you very much, Chair. I'm pleased to be here today.

Thank you very much, Mr. Fisher, for your description of the situation on the ground.

I'm trying to get a better understanding of things here. The United Nations Security Council passed resolution 2139. Could you tell us a little bit more about what the resolution says? I believe you said it requested the Syrian government to cooperate in the delivery of humanitarian aid or otherwise face sanctions.

Is my understanding correct?
