In closing, we confirm the need to adopt a comprehensive approach that would deal primarily, without selectivity or discrimination, with the root causes of conflicts in addressing the protection of civilians in armed conflict. We also affirm the need for the Security Council to demonstrate in practical terms the extent of its support for the protection of civilians in armed conflict by supporting comprehensive political settlements of conflicts. The Security Council must support all mediation efforts in order to resolve conflicts and address their root causes and motives.
