  1. “The international community knows how important and logical it was for Congo to support General Assembly resolution 44/29 of 4 December 1989, which unequivocally condemned all terrorist acts, methods and practices. Today, as the Security Council focuses on the specific situation arising from the in-flight destruction of Pan Am flight 103 and UTA flight 772, Congo feels encouraged, because Libya, against which allegations have been made, has expressed its willingness to cooperate in determining the truth. Congo has never vacillated in its struggle against terrorism or in its commitment to the principles upheld by the international community.”

  2. “In September 1989, for example, the in-flight explosion of a UTA DC-10 civil flight from Brazzaville to Paris Caused the death of, inter alia, 49 Congolese citizens. That dark event created a chronic sense of anxiety in my country. Unhealed wounds are engraved in the memories of many Congolese families, and throughout the country, Current events amply demonstrate that terrorism is a major challenge to our shared modern history. It is to the advantage of Governments to unite their efforts to fight terrorism vigorously. Congo has enacted a number of regulatory and legislative measures that buttress the once-weak foundation of our legal anti-terrorism arsenal. We have also made efforts in the framework of international cooperation; these have resulted in Congo's accession to various conventions.”

  3. “Other continents too are the site of such tribal wars that unfortunately claim dozens of innocent civilian victims. Today the Security Council is meeting to discuss another kind of horror: international terrorism. I wish to comment briefly on that subject - indeed to testify. The last time I spoke on the question of terrorism was during a meeting of the Sixth Committee at the forty-sixth session of the General Assembly which was discussing measures to prevent international terrorism. I said that because of its violence, the losses it causes and the anxiety it generates, that problem was one from which Congo, like other countries, had, many times in its history, suffered greatly.”

  4. “Boutros Boutros Ghali, of our full cooperation at this difficult moment when he takes the helm of the United Nations Secretariat. We convey our best wishes to his predecessor, Mr. Javier Perez de Cuellar. In the harsh reality of the turmoil of a mad world, it is hard for the international community to shut its eyes and remain passive, or selectively to make mere gestures towards calming the trembling and the horror. We are horrified that countries that have regained freedom are experiencing famine and distress. We are horrified also at the absurd wars among those who once were fellow-countrymen that had never known they were enemies. Africa has been stricken by this horror. In that sad connection I think particularly of the current situation in Somalia.”

  5. “Mr. ADOQUKI (Congo) (interpretation from French): I am pleased to . : : of participating in this meeting of the Security Council under the presidency the Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom, a country with a long legal tradition highly respected by Congo. In the present circumstances, Mr. President, your talents will greatly assist the Security Council as it considers the serious question of international terrrorism, My delegation wishes also to pay a tribute to Ambassador Vorontsov for the manner in which he conducted the work of the Council in December 1991.
