没有人对联合国驻达尔富尔部队只能在征得苏丹政府同意之后进行部署提出质疑，决议中绝对没有任何一处排除就这一问题同苏丹政府进行进一步的对话。实际上，我们希望，将加紧努力，加强同民族团结政府的对话，以说服它接受这一移交。然而，苏丹政府尚未表示同意的事实不能成为拖延通过这项非常必要的决议的理由，因为这将意味着拖延向非盟驻苏特派团提供的可能在达尔富尔挽救生命的非常必要的支助。
Nobody disputes that a United Nations force in Darfur can be deployed only with the consent of the Government of the Sudan, and there is absolutely nothing in the resolution that precludes further dialogue with the Government of the Sudan on this issue. Indeed, we hope that efforts will be stepped up to intensify the dialogue with the Government of National Unity to persuade it to accept such a transfer. The fact that the Government of the Sudan has not yet given its consent could not, however, be a reason to postpone the adoption of this very necessary resolution, because that would have meant delaying the very necessary support to AMIS, which can potentially save lives in Darfur.
