皮尔斯女士（联合王国）（以英语发言）：我同其他人一样，向我们的好朋友和同事斯塔凡致敬。当我们得知他要离职的时候，真是伤心的一天。他为联合国提供了最大的服务。我本人曾在阿富汗和其它问题上与他合作，他在阿富汗、伊拉克和黎巴嫩的工作记录足以说明问题。他比任何人都更努力地解决叙利亚这场真正可怕的冲突。
Ms. Pierce (United Kingdom): Like others, I pay tribute to our good friend and colleague Staffan. It was a sad day when we learned that he would step down. He has given the most enormous service to the United Nations. I personally have worked with him on Afghanistan and other issues, and his track record in that country, in Iraq and in Lebanon speaks for itself. He has tried harder than anyone to bring a resolution to this truly terrible conflict in Syria.
