  1. “The Council will continue to attach utmost importance to the safety and security of all who serve under the United Nations flag in the field. "The members of the Security Council reaffirm their commitment to the collective security system of the Charter. On the solemn occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the United Nations, the Council, along with other United Nations bodies, commemorates what has been achieved so far, but also commits itself once again to the maintenance of international peace and security for which it has primary responsibility, and to working to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war." This statement will be issued as a document of the Security Council under the symbol S/PRST/1995/48. The Security Council has thus concluded its business for this commemorative meeting. The meeting rose at 1.55 pm.”

  2. “They take note of the conclusions of the Working Group of the General Assembly on the Question of Equitable Representation on and Increase in the Membership of the Security Council and other Matters Related to the Security Council, inter alia, that the Council should be expanded, and that its working methods should continue to be reviewed, in a way that further strengthens its capacity and effectiveness, enhances its representative character and improves its working efficiency and transparency; and that important differences on key issues continue to exist. The Council also believes that effective use should be made of instruments for preventive action, and the Organization's capacity to conduct effective peace- keeping operations should continue to be improved.”

  3. “Although such operations have largely been successful, there are areas where success has not been achieved. The Council must continue to spare no effort in working for the maintenance of international peace and security, and build upon its experience of past and existing operations. "The Security Council recognizes that the challenges facing the international community demand a resolute response, based on the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations. The members of the Security Council consider that the United Nations must be strengthened and revitalized to help meet these challenges.”

  4. “Following consultations among the members of the Security Council, I have been authorized to make the following statement on behalf of the Council: "The Security Council has met on 26 September 1995, at the level of Foreign Ministers, to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the United Nations and to exchange views on the challenges which the Security Council faces. "Since its establishment the Security Council has played a crucial role in the maintenance of international peace and security on which development and cooperation among nations are based. The past few years in particular have been ones of momentous change, bringing fresh hope and new challenges. Operations mandated by the Council have assisted in the restoration of peace and stability to countries long- plagued by war.”

  5. “Moreover, the final goal of the reform identified by the General Assembly - a more equitable and representative United Nations - must be reflected in the process by which we deliberate, choose and effect reform. In this context, Italy has presented an original proposal for the reform of the Security Council inspired by the principles of democracy, transparency and equitable geographical representation of all Member States while preserving its efficiency and effectiveness, a proposal which is aimed at satisfying and reconciling the aspirations of all Member States. At this critical juncture in time, we must meet, undivided, the challenges of the present and the future. Together, we must continue our efforts to shape a better world for all nations and all peoples. I resume my function as President of the Council.”

  6. “Italy has contributed concretely to this role of maintaining international peace and security by frequently participating in United Nations peace-keeping missions, multinational forces authorized by the Security Council and operations conducted by regional organizations at the request of the Security Council. As this Organization prepares to chart the course of its second half-century of life, it must draw on the courage it so often summons for international emergencies to address instead its own internal situation. If we are to pay homage to the principles enshrined in the San Francisco Charter, we must reform our Organization to bring it into step with changes both in the world and in the increased membership of the United Nations.”

  7. “I thank the Permanent Representative of Oman for the kind words he addressed to my Ambassador. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Italy. Let me begin by paying homage to you, Mr. Secretary-General, for the exemplary way in which you lead and serve our Organization. From the moment Italy entered the United Nations, it has dedicated its greatest political and diplomatic efforts to the achievement of its goals. My country fully realizes that the best way the nations of the world can be heard is by strengthening the role of an Organization in which all nations are represented. Today, with the tearing down of the Berlin Wall and the end of the cold war, Italy applauds the more dynamic role that the United Nations, and especially the Security Council, is playing.”

Nigeria, as a major troop- contributing country and an international peace-keeping nation, is prepared to continue to contribute to the collective efforts of the United Nations in the maintenance of international peace and security. The President: I thank the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Nigeria for the kind words he addressed to my country.”

  11. “In this regard, the United Nations needs to respond positively and effectively to the calls made by West African leaders for financial and logistic support to be given to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) in order to implement the recent peace Agreement in Liberia. Nigeria believes that the Security Council is in urgent need of revitalization and structural reform in order to enable it to respond adequately to existing realities and the daunting challenges which it faces. It is therefore necessary that its membership should be increased to provide more equitable representation. Furthermore, the Council's working methods and procedures need to be improved upon so as to enhance its effectiveness, efficiency, legitimacy and transparency.”

  12. “In addition, a noticeable fatigue has developed among troop-contributing countries and the major contributors to peace-keeping finances as a result of the multiplicity of United Nations peace-keeping operations. It is therefore incumbent on all Member States of the United Nations to reaffirm their commitment to contribute to peace-keeping operations. The Security Council must take the lead if it is truly to discharge its responsibility with credibility and strive to give equal attention to all crises that have the potential to threaten international peace and security.”

  13. “The recent dramatic changes in the international situation, particularly the end of the cold war, encouraged the hope for a safer and more peaceful world. Regrettably, such expectations have not been fulfilled. However, there are encouraging signs that the capacity of the Security Council to take positive initiatives for the maintenance of international peace and security has discernibly improved as a result of the increasing cooperation between all of its members. Our collective endeavours for peace could be undermined by the growing tendency on the part of the Security Council to be less willing to stay the course in certain conflict situations, particularly in Africa.”

  14. “Fifty years ago the world emerged from the devastations of the Second World War with the determination to save mankind from the scourge of another war. To this end, the Charter of the United Nations charged the Security Council with the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. The Security Council has, to a large extent, discharged this difficult responsibility with commendable courage. However, the world, particularly the developing world, has witnessed over 150 civil wars and conflicts which have caused nearly as much destruction as in the two World Wars. The wave of refugees and internally displaced persons, mainly women and children, and the human and material wastage have reached unacceptable proportions.”
