MR. REEKER: I wouldn't call it a snub at all. I think Secretary Powell has been in touch, very close touch, with the Germans. You know, he had planned to go to Germany, to Berlin, where he was going to talk more about Europe, part of our continuing consultations with European leaders, and efforts to reach out to European publics as well. Obviously that will have to be postponed for another time because of the press of the mission that the President talked about yesterday. But he will be seeing Europeans in Madrid and so he -- ...

QUESTION: EU Commissioner Chris Patton said today that if the United States proceeds and goes against the Security Council resolution, uses force against Iraq, it will be impossible for the EU to raise money for humanitarian aid and reconstruction for Iraq and aid for its neighbors. ... MR. BOUCHER: We will look at each of these situations on their merits and decide what the appropriate action is in the UN Human Rights Commission session. ... I think we've been pleased to see quite a number of countries coming out in support of the need to deal with the situation and do something about it and to stand up for the Council's previous resolutions. So that discussion continues. We're always there. We're always listening.

If this trend continues, the world will miss its sanitation pledge by over 500 million people. ... [Read More]

Staff of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) attempting to determine who among the refugees in West Timor refugee camps want to return to East Timor are encountering difficulties as they enter camps dominated by the militia. On Monday, for example, UNHCR personnel who went to a camp in the Atambua area, along the border with East Timor, had a hostile reception from militias that required the police to intervene. ...
