"Madam President, Commissioner, the general perception among the global public and also among ourselves is that the international community’s reaction to the humanitarian disaster in Pakistan was slow and poor. We arrived too late and with less intensity than in other humanitarian disasters of a similar magnitude.
It was also perceived that there was a degree of resistance to covering the needs established by the United Nations. Some fellow Members have referred to the resistance that there might be in our societies due to the type of political regime or the problems that there might be in Pakistan. Nevertheless, I think we have to make an effort as Members and in our societies to explain that we are helping people – human beings – who are in difficulties, rather than a particular political regime. The humanitarian action should be based on neutrality, impartiality and independence and those should be the values that guide what we do."@en1
