Everyone accepts....as regards the behavior

Hello,

Please help me with the query below.
Thank you.

1. Bertrand Ramcharan, the acting high commissioner for human rights, acknowledged that the removal of Saddam Hussein represented "a major contribution to human rights in Iraq" and that the United States had condemned the conduct and pledged to bring violators to justice.
"Everyone accepts the good intentions of the coalition governments as regards the behavior of their forces in Iraq," he said in a 45-page report issued at the agency's headquarters in Geneva.

Can it be rephrased: The behavor of their forces in Irag regard everyone as accepting the good intention of the coalition governments?

2. Gracious in defeat to his Polish hosts, he asserted that nothing had been settled as regards the final group placings.
