I am all ears.

I'll keep my ears wide open.

Their suggestion was not heeded.

But their arguments did not carry the day.

All right, I'm listening. This is the way I see it.

All right, Dr. McKenna. I'm now relaxed and listening.

We will need to listen carefully to them and to the expectations of their people.

But the Secretary General apos s appeal was not heeded.

Tony, you're not even listenin'. I read you loud and clear, Riff.

Iraq's neighbours have legitimate concerns and should be heard.

May the international community heed this appeal!

Are you sure you want me to tell you? Please, I'm all ears!

For that to happen, Europe s democratic voice must be heard within Belarus.

It needs to do so while it still has the world s sympathetic ear.

Our earnest hope for the future health of the Organization is that this debate is being heard.

Fears expressed by Israeli newspapers and a few Knesset members over Israeli's nuclear programmes remained unheard.

Given the fragile grip that these leaders have over their societies, America s warnings have been taken to heart.

Algeria had, however, turned a deaf ear, holding the prisoners as hostages and forcing them to perform slave labour, which was yet another violation of the Geneva Convention.

Of course, current trends in official and private financial flows to the developing world suggest that this is a cry that will fall largely on deaf ears.

Too often, when we have attempted as island countries to halt movements through our waters of toxic, radioactive and hazardous materials, our voices have not been heard.

The Israeli government would retort that the parallel call in the resolution for a halt to the flow of arms into Gaza also has not been heeded.

If heeded, as appears to be the case in many countries, the results will be disastrous, especially given the fragility of the recovery.

She said that she would be challenged in her future work to reconcile the realities of people and the existing frameworks developed with respect to the right to development.

We still hope that our appeal will be accepted by Israel. Achieving peace is easy if the political will exists.

Constant calls by the international community for the immediate, unconditional and total withdrawal of occupying forces, as stipulated in relevant Security Council resolutions, have fallen on deaf ears.

The pleas of the Bosnian Government for effective international intervention or at least the lifting of the ill conceived arms embargo have gone unheeded.

But, even if abandoned by the Russians, it is highly unlikely that Iran will give up its nuclear ambitions unless its regional concerns are addressed.

The UN s Gaza peace resolution (which Britain authored) calls on the Israeli government to open up the supply lines, but this has been heeded only in small part.

I should like to highlight the constructive climate that prevailed in those consultations, enabling us not only to hear but also to listen to the concerns of all.

But we must be able to discuss our views in the knowledge that they will be heard, for honest communication is the basis of genuine involvement in any joint enterprise.

At the same time, our calls on the conscience of the rich countries to be mindful of the conditions that fracture the economic and political structures of our society seem to fall upon deaf ears.

As mentioned in my previous report, severe restrictions imposed by the Eritrean authorities on UNMEE military police in Asmara continued in spite of the Mission's protests, which went unheeded.

Austria issued an ultimatum on April 23, 1859, demanding the complete demobilization of the Sardinian army, and when it was not heeded, Austria started a war with Sardinia (April 29), thus drawing France into the conflict.

We therefore hope that the appeal made here on 24 September 1993 by President Nelson Mandela for the lifting of economic sanctions and the establishment of diplomatic relations with South Africa will be heard and acted upon.

Our fervent appeal to all those bent on perpetuating the blood bath in Somalia is to heed the concerns of the international community and indeed act in the interests of the Somali people rather than in their own selfish interests.

Uganda warned of the existence of this group, but its warnings were ignored until recently, when the MONUC Representative, Ambassador Swing, acknowledged the presence of this and other rebel groups.

I am sure my appeal will be heeded, for no one here will want the responsibility of having held the contrary position or of having prevented the emerging order from being firmly grounded on a basis of solidarity, justice and equity with a view to sustainable development benefiting all mankind.

Japanese demands to reconsider fell on deaf ears, and the initiative was put on ice only when US congressmen threatened economic repercussions and China increased pressure on Taiwan.

If we do not heed the Secretary General's advice to decide before September, that will notably cast a shadow on the September summit, because the public perception in all our countries will be that we have not addressed one of the major reform issues.

Ahmadinejad confirmed sensing a similar presence. I felt it myself, too, that suddenly the atmosphere changed and for 27 28 minutes the leaders could not blink....They had their eyes and ears open for the message from the Islamic Republic, he told Ayatollah Javadi Amoli.

Some of the content of his policy document would be familiar to some Member States, because he was a manager who listened like his ancestors, who had been chiefs in Africa, he had been taught that a good leader listened to his people, led with humility and believed in his people.

All resolutions, appeals and even threats have fallen on deaf ears and have been ignored by the aggressors who persist in their aggression against the Muslim and peace loving people of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

But their arguments did not carry the day. For the neo conservative enterprise, 9 11 helped create a new context for linking the quest for American hegemony abroad with intense nationalism and an even more intense assault on the welfare state at home.
