		Swiss diplomats, who spent nine months negotiating an agreement on the red crystal, said they were satisfied with the result but made it clear that it left a bitter taste in the mouth.
		"We are in a way satisfied that the protocol has been adopted very clearly but we are disappointed that this was not done by consensus," Didier Pfirter, Switzerland's special envoy on the emblem issue, told swissinfo.
		Pfirter said the Swiss were forced to put the issue to a vote to prevent a humanitarian conference being "taken hostage" by politics.

		Switzerland has supported Cyprus's reunification talks for several years, and it was thought that meeting there would provide an ideal condition for the talks.
		Swiss diplomat Didier Pfirter, a U-N legal adviser on Cyprus, said all parties now needed to make an intense effort to reach agreement.
		There were good reasons to want the parties to be making this last effort in a very intense way, in an environment where everybody would be available around the clock, so it could really be a 24-hour, non-stop effort for a whole week.

		We have also consulted closely with a wide range of government representatives in recognition of the fact that only governments can adopt a treaty instrument like the proposed Protocol.
		This process has been significantly advanced by the decision of the Swiss Government to appoint an Ambassador to take charge of its concerns as depositary for the Geneva Conventions, and we have enjoyed a fruitful and constructive relationship with Mr Didier Pfirter since his appointment in March this year.
		It is our belief that this cooperative work stands as an excellent example of the way the Movement's collaborative work advances the interests of humanity, and on behalf of the Federation I commend the draft resolution to you for adoption.
