Mr. Chair, the issue of humanitarian workers has been at the forefront of our discussions, both diplomatically and on the ground. We have voiced our concerns and have been keeping the pressure on the Government of South Sudan to provide humanitarian access for humanitarian workers.
We have certainly heard about what has happened to humanitarian workers in South Sudan. It is difficult to know exactly who has committed those crimes, but we hold the Government of South Sudan accountable because the government is responsible for ensuring the safety and security of humanitarian workers who are there to support the people, the poorest and the most vulnerable.
This is an issue we have discussed and one of the key elements of the peace agreement. It's an area where a lot of work still needs to happen in order to ensure that access is provided and that humanitarian workers can actually do their work without being afraid of some of the issues we have heard about.
