His Eminence called in his meeting with Van for a larger role of the UN in Iraq in the coming phase, in light of the crises that the country is going through and that require decisive and delicate solutions, remembering with Mr. Van the bombing of the United Nations headquarters and the killing of Sergio de Mello, the UN secretary general's special representative to Iraq.
