  1. “We must therefore allow the Bosnians to defend these borders through all necessary means, including military means, since the peace initiatives so far have been found unacceptable by the aggressor.”

  2. “Brunei Darussalam believes that this will provide an opportunity for the Serbs to consider responding positively to this compromise in order to find an acceptable solution to this conflict. My delegation commends the efforts of the men and women serving in the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR). As winter approaches, the people of Bosnia depend greatly on their efforts. My delegation hopes that the United Nations will continue to help alleviate the suffering. In conclusion, I wish to reiterate our view that the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina must be respected and guaranteed within its internationally recognized borders. Its people have become victims of an aggression that continues to defy internationally accepted principles.”

  3. “My delegation therefore joins other delegations in urging the international community, particularly all concerned and interested parties, to act decisively and provide the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the protection it needs. We must allow the Bosnians the right to individual and collective self-defence provided for in Article 51 of the Charter. It is time for the Security Council to lift the embargo against Bosnia and Herzegovina. The six-month period offered by Bosnia and Herzegovina in which to execute the lifting of the embargo if the Serbs do not accept the peace plan is a message to the Serbian leaders of the willingness of Bosnia and Herzegovina to compromise.”

  4. “Despite repeated warnings from the international community and despite the military presence of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), many areas of the country are still threatened by Serb weaponry, and the capital remains under siege. It is a fact that so far the international community has not been able to end the suffering of the Bosnians. It is also a fact that the Contact Group has not persuaded the Serbs to agree to peace proposals. We see this as evidence of the Serbs' intention to carry on with their aggression and the violation of the sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I wish to state here our view that Security Council resolution 713 (1991) should not be applied to Bosnia and Herzegovina. The arms embargo was imposed against the former Yugoslavia.”

  5. “Brunei Darussalam sees the issue under debate today as a straightforward one: Do the Bosnians have the right to defend themselves and their sovereign territory, or not? My delegation is very clear on this matter. Brunei Darussalam has often reiterated its view that the borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina are inviolable and recognized internationally and that they were reaffirmed by the international community when Bosnia and Herzegovina was accepted as a Member of the United Nations in 1992. Any aggression against that nations's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity is therefore a violation not only of international norms but of the Charter and principles of this body. Serb aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina is now well into its third year.”

  6. “For us, action by NATO would offer a clear indication that the international community is determined to implement the various United Nations resolutions. Brunei Darussalam looks forward to the day when peace and stability are restored to a sovereign and independent Bosnia and Herzegovina. In pursuit of this end, the international community must now be prepared to act decisively and put an end to the violence and cruelty we have seen for the past two years.”

  7. “Several resolutions directed at resolving the conflict in the former Yugoslavia have been adopted by the Security Council. They have not, however, put a stop to the various crimes committed against the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In fact, they have been followed by yet more acts of violence. We believe that the senseless killing of innocent civilians has gone on far too long. Strong action by the international community is long overdue. We expect to see the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) act in accordance with its recent ultimatum. The international community needs to demonstrate now that it will not continue to stand by while acts of atrocious inhumanity take place in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

  8. “Allow me, on behalf of my delegation, to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month. I should also like to thank all the members of the Council for giving me the opportunity to take part in this open debate. Many aspects of the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina have been discussed among the members of this Council, in the General Assembly and at other international forums. It is distressing that we should have to discuss the tragedy yet again, following last week's horrifying attack on innocent civilians in Sarajevo. We share in the sorrow of the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina and offer our condolences and profound sympathy. We also understand the indignation felt by the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has been shared by the world community.”
