The Security Council
Recalling its resolutions 2042 （2012）, 2043 （2012） and 2118 （2013）, and its Presidential Statements of 3 August 2011, 21 March 2012, 5 April 2012 and 2 October 2013,
Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Syria, and to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations,
Being appalled at the unacceptable and escalating level of violence and the death of well over 100,000 people in Syria, including over 10,000 children, as reported by the UN Secretary-General and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict,
Expressing grave alarm at the significant and rapid deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Syria, in particular the dire situation of hundreds of thousands of civilians trapped in besieged areas, most of whom are besieged by the Syrian armed forces and some by opposition groups, as well as the dire situation of over 3 million people in hard-to-reach areas, and deploring the difficulties in providing, and the failure to provide, access for the humanitarian assistance to all civilians in need inside Syria,
Emphasizing the need to respect the UN guiding principles of humanitarian emergency assistance and stressing the importance of such assistance being delivered on the basis of need, devoid of any political prejudices and aims, commending the efforts of the United Nations and all humanitarian and medical personnel in Syria and in neighbouring countries, and condemning all acts or threats of violence against United Nations staff and humanitarian actors, which have resulted in the death, injury and detention of many humanitarian personnel,
Expressing grave concern at the increasing number of refugees and internally displaced persons caused by the conflict in Syria, which has a destabilising impact on the entire region, and underscoring its appreciation for the significant and admirable efforts that have been made by the countries of the region, notably Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt, to accommodate the more than 2.4 million refugees who have fled Syria as a result of the on-going violence, while acknowledging the enormous political, socioeconomic and financial impact of the presence of large-scale populations in these countries, and underscoring the need for all parties to respect and maintain the security and civilian character of camps for refugees and internally displaced persons,
Welcoming the pledges totalling $2.5 billion at the Second International Humanitarian Pledging Conference for Syria, hosted by Kuwait on 15 January 2014, and expressing its appreciation to Member States and regional and sub-regional organizations that have pledged to provide humanitarian assistance to people in need in all parts of Syria, including internally displaced persons, as well as to refugees in neighbouring host countries, and calling on all Member States to ensure the timely disbursement of pledges and continued support in line with growing humanitarian needs,
Calling on all parties to immediately end all violence which has led to human suffering in Syria, save Syria’s rich societal mosaic and cultural heritage, and take appropriate steps to ensure the protection of Syria’s World Heritage Sites,

Expressing its regret that its Presidential Statement of 2 October 2013 （S/PRST/2013/15） has not delivered as expected and has not yet translated into meaningful progress on the ground, and that humanitarian aid delivery continues to be impeded throughout Syria, while condemning all cases of denial of humanitarian access and recalling that arbitrary denial of humanitarian access and depriving civilians of objects indispensable to their survival, including wilfully impeding relief supply and access, can constitute a violation of international humanitarian law,

サマンサ・パワー米国連代表大使は、シリアの惨状に関して「関係当事者による行為の結果」としたうえで、「アサド、そしてシャームの民のヌスラ戦線、イラク・シャーム・イスラーム国（ダーイシュ）」を名指しで非難した。
そのうえで、国連安保理決議2139号の意義が「いかなる当事者が決議を履行しない場合においても行動」を行うことを定めた点にあると強調した。
ロシアのヴィタリー・チュルキン国連大使は「体制転換をめざす試みが頓挫したことを受け、安保理で人道的な決議を採択する動きが出た…。決議の基本目標は人道支援を促すことにある」と述べる一方、反体制武装集団が「民間人を標的とし、彼らを人間の盾として利用し、体系的違反を犯し、ヌッブルやザフラーといった居住地域を包囲している」と非難した。
決議提案国の一つであるヨルダンのザイド・ブン・ラアド国連大使は、「シリアの当事者たちが、決議を即時完全履行することが重要」としたうえで、とくにシリア政府に対して国境経由での児童支援の受け入れを認めるよう呼びかけた。
シリアのバッシャール・ジャアファリー国連代表大使は「我が国は人道支援に関する2013年10月の議長声明を遵守している」としつつ、「安保理決議（第2139号）は、周辺諸国との国境を経由した支援受け入れをシリア政府に許すものではない」と述べ、いわゆる「人道回廊」構想を改めて拒否した。
潘基文事務総長は「決議の迅速な実施が…民間人の被害を減らすことになるだろう」と述べる一方、「シリア政府とその民兵に、殺戮、樽爆弾使用…、拷問といった多くの行為の責任がある…。反体制集団も子供の処刑、徴兵を行い、民間人へのテロを戦略としている」と非難した。
