Andthatiswhatwehavedone.

ThroughU.N.SecurityCouncilResolution1929,wemadeitclearthatinternationallawisnotanemptypromise.

Nowletmebeclearoncemore:

AndwhentheearthshookandHaitiwasdevastatedbyloss,wejoinedacoalitionofnationsinresponse. 

Today,wehonorthosefromtheU.N.familywholosttheirlivesintheearthquake,andcommitourselvestostandwiththepeopleofHaitiuntiltheycanstandontheirowntwofeet.

Amidstthisupheaval剧变,wehavealsobeenpersistentinourpursuitofpeace.

andthatafterdecadesoffailure,peaceissimplynotpossible.

Ihearthosevoicesofskepticism. 

ButIaskyoutoconsiderthealternative. 

Ifanagreementisnotreached,Palestinianswillneverknowtheprideanddignitythatcomeswiththeirownstate.

Irefusetoacceptthatfuture. 

Andweallhaveachoicetomake.

Ofcourse,thatresponsibilitybeginswiththepartiesthemselves,whomustanswerthecallofhistory.
