  1. “The hesitation of the United Nations to condemn the Serbian practices and its entering into endless negotiations with the Bosnian Serbs have led the leadership of that aggressor party to gamble on the position of the international community and to circumvent international resolutions through the ploy of sterile negotiations and empty promises. The situation today in Bosnia and Herzegovina is no secret. We all know what is taking place there and which of the parties to the conflict stands against all peaceful developments. My delegation, therefore, repeats its call to the international community to continue to bring pressure to bear, by all the means and measures at its disposal in order to bring the Bosnian Serbs to the side of peace and to accept peaceful settlements.”

  2. “All such atrocities continue to be practised against the defenceless people of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Security Council, in resolution 713 (1991), has deprived the Bosnian people of the legitimate right of self-defence enshrined in the Charter of the Organization. All this has enabled the Serbs, over the past three years, to persist in such practices under the very eyes and noses of the international peace-keeping forces in the area, in close proximity to where such events continue to take place. We wonder today, has not the time come for the international community to speak firmly and loudly on this 38 issue? Has the time not come for the international community to move to put an end to such inhuman practices which run counter to all human values and the conscience of mankind?”

  3. “Despite the optimism generated by the peaceful settlement plan prepared by the Contact Group and accepted by all the parties concerned except the Serbs; and despite the relative improvement of the situation of Sarajevo following the action by the NATO war machine against the aggressor, we notice a grave deterioration of the situation. All reports and information available to us show that the Bosnian Serbs persist in practising the abhorrent policy of "ethnic cleansing" against all non-Serbs, particularly Muslims in all those parts of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina that are under their control. In so doing, they resort to all manner of inhuman practices ranging from the killing of innocent women, old people, and children, mass expulsions, rape as a weapon of war, the demolition and burning of homes and arbitrary detentions.”

  4. “However, despite this international concern, the situation within the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a State Member of the United Nations, has not changed much, because of the Bosnian Serb party's refusal to heed international resolutions and respond to the numerous plans and peaceful settlements proposed by either the United Nations or by various groups of States acting in good faith to help the parties in conflict reach an acceptable peaceful settlement that was bound to save thousands of innocent civilians and dispel the clouds of war shrouding that stricken republic.”

  5. “Today, the Security Council meets yet again to consider the situation in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Clearly, this situation is neither new nor unfamiliar to the Council. For three years now the Security Council has held numerous consultations and meetings that have led to a great number of international resolutions.”

  6. “Mr. Al-Hassan (Oman) (interpretation from Arabic): At the outset, allow me, on behalf of my delegation, to express to you personally, Sir, and to your friendly country, Spain, sincerest congratulations on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month of September. We are confident that your knowledge of international affairs and your diplomatic skills fully qualify you to lead our deliberations with wisdom and skill and in a manner that will promote the noble objectives of our Organization. We pledge you our full cooperation for the achievement of those ends. 37 In addition, I cannot fail to express sincere thanks to the delegation of the Russian Federation for the exemplary manner in which Ambassador Vorontsov presided over the Council's deliberations in August.”
