text: 41 (Mr. Picu Unit.&&&& My Government would like to emphasise that these safeguards are essential, not optional. The Iraqi Government continues to defy other resolutions of the Council which demand Iraqi withdrawal from Kuwait, establish sanctions against Iraq, nullify Iraq’s purported annexation of Kuwait and demand respect for diplomatic missions in Kuwait and for foreign nationals. To speak clearly, the Council cannot count on the good faith of the Iraqi Government. Furthermore, the Iraqi Government has stated that in allocating food resources it intends to give first priority not to the needy but to the greedy, the looting army it has sent to Kuwait. Iraq has so far refused co-operation with humanitarian agencies. For these reasons it became incumbent upon the members of the Council, in promoting the effectiveness of its sanctions against Iraq, to lay down procedures to ensure that food supplies reach those for whom they are intended. The resolution just aaoptea meets those needs. It gives B strong role to the sanctions Committee in implementing the policies of the Security Council. It ensure8 that the international community is prepared to respond to cases of genuine human Deed in a way that meets thooe needs without destroying the strength of the sanctions. In short, the mechanisms established in the resolution affirm both the genuine humanitarian concern of the members of tha Council for the condition of civilians, whether Iraqi or Kuwaiti or third-country nationals, and the determination of the Council to stand firmly behind the saDctioDs designed to secure Iraq's withdrawal from Kuwait. Now let me say a word about the draft resolution not adopted by the Council this evening. While it sought to address the problem of humanitarian concerne, it sough to ignore the clear terms of resolution 661 (1990) and the choice made by 
analysis: The text appears to be discussing the implementation of economic sanctions against Iraq and the need to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches those in need, while maintaining the strength of the sanctions. The language used is formal and diplomatic, suggesting that it is a political or international relations document. The text also mentions the Iraqi government's refusal to cooperate with humanitarian agencies, which further supports the idea that it is related to international relations and politics rather than a specific sector like health or education.
