Statement Delivered by Ambassador Byrne Nason at the UNSC Briefing on Iraq/UNAMI Statement 16 February 2021 Thank you very much indeed Madam President, and I want to say a special thank you to Special Representative Hennis-Plasschaert for your really excellent briefing this morning. Jeanine, you know Ireland strongly supports the important work you and your team are doing so thank you again.
Before I begin my statement, I also wanted to recognise the dedicated service of Ms. Walpole as Deputy Special Representative and congratulate her successor, Ms. Gísladóttir. We wish her all the best in her new role at a critical juncture for Iraq. I have to say, that it is very welcome to see the continuation of an all-female leadership at the team at UNAMI.
