  1. “It is regrettable, however, that this natural disaster has been allocated the smallest share of the resources earmarked for the implementation of the environmental programme. Mauritania, in which the bane of drought and desertification has become a chronic affliction, has formulated a programme of its own for combating desertification and correcting the imbalance in its environment. Proceeding from our experience in this area, we appreciate the difficulties of the countries which suffer from this phenomenon. I should like, on this occasion, to declare our solidarity with the peoples of southern regions of Africa and the Horn of Africa who are now suffering the effects of drought. With the ending of the cold war and its ideological conflicts, today's world faces no greater challenge than that of development.”

  2. “In these international conditions of rapid change, the causes of democracy and human rights have undergone a marked development and the idea of linking social progress to economic development has gained more acceptance. This proves that no country or group of countries, no matter how powerful, can face up to the challenges of the age on its own, without extensive cooperation and consultation. However, the concept of cooperation and consultation, between countries, even if it has gained acceptance in theory, has yet to be translated into actual reality. In this context, the Rio de Janeiro Conference was a promising start. The decision of the Earth Summit to hold negotiations with the aim of developing an international convention on the phenomenon of drought and desertification is cause for optimism.”

  3. “This is attested to by the high-level international meetings that have been held, and which have contributed to the emergence of new patterns of international relations. Examples of such meetings were the first summit of the members of the Security Council, the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, the Summit of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in Dakar, and the tenth summit of the Non-Aligned Movement in Djakarta. At the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, it became clear to all that it is no longer acceptable that islands of wealth should persist in an ocean of poverty and that international problems cannot be solved in the absence of sincere and effective cooperation between all peoples.”

  4. “We should like to pay tribute to his efficiency and the positive results he has been able to achieve in the short period he has spent in office. I should like to reaffirm to him our full readiness to work with him in any way that would contribute to the performance of his tasks. At a time when the universal character of our Organization becomes more and more pronounced through the accession of new States to its membership, I cannot but seize this opportunity to extend to those new Members our congratulations on their accession and, in welcoming them, express our confidence that they will be a new tributary of strength to this Organization. The year 1992 will always be a landmark on the road to a new type of dialogue-and-cooperation-oriented international relations.”

  5. “It gives me pleasure, at the outset of my statement, to congratulate you warmly on behalf of the Mauritanian delegation on your unanimous election to the presidency of our Assembly. We are confident that your ability, political experience and diplomatic skills will enable you to guide this session to its desired goals. We should like to extend our thanks also to your predecessor. Ambassador Samir Shihabi, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for the judicious manner in which he conducted the work of the past session. I should also like to take this opportunity to extend to Mr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali our warmest congratulations on the occasion of his election to the post of Secretary-General of our Organization.”
