“"The Security Council welcomes the programme of transition to democratic constitutional rule set by the Government of Sierra Leone, which is crucial to the restoration of peace and stability in that country. It expresses its strong support for the work of the Interim National Electoral Commission (INEC) in preparing for the elections to be held on 26 February 1996. It welcomes the assistance being given by the United Nations to the INEC at the request of the Government of Sierra Leone, and calls upon Member States to provide the fullest possible material and financial support to the INEC in order to ensure the success of the elections, with the broadest possible participation.”

“"The Security Council stresses the importance it attaches to a coordinated international effort to alleviate the humanitarian situation in Sierra Leone. It welcomes the Secretary-General's efforts in this regard and his initiative in preparing, in collaboration with the Government of Sierra Leone, an action plan for the demobilization and reintegration of combatants. "The Security Council underlines the need for generous humanitarian assistance in a situation in which nearly half the population of the country have been internally displaced, and calls upon Member States to provide such assistance. The Council commends those humanitarian agencies active in Sierra Leone. The Council deeply deplores attacks on humanitarian convoys and demands that those responsible cease such actions immediately.”

“"The Security Council expresses its appreciation to the Secretary-General for his offer of good offices in Sierra Leone and urges the Revolutionary United Front to take advantage of that offer, thus enabling both parties to enter into negotiations. It thanks the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for his efforts to that end, in close coordination with the Organization of African Unity, the Commonwealth, the Economic Community of West African States, and other organizations and neighbouring States supporting the negotiations and the process of democratization in Sierra Leone, and welcomes the Secretary-General's decision that his Special Envoy's mission should continue for the time being.”

“Members of the Council have before them the report of the Secretary-General on the situation in Sierra Leone, document S/ 1995/975. Following consultations among members of the Security Council, I have been authorized to make the following statement on behalf of the Council: "The Security Council has considered the Secretary-General's report of 21 November on the situation in Sierra Leone (S/l995/975). It is deeply concerned at the conflict in that country, and at the suffering resulting from it, in particular that of the nearly two million internally displaced Sierra Leoneans. It calls for an immediate end to the fighting.”

“Rather it should be comprehensive in nature and scope. Thus, in the days to come, our efforts should focus more on tackling any problem that might arise from failure to implement this Agreement or any of the other peace agreements that have been signed in the last few days. Today, there is a chance for peace, not only in the Republic of Croatia, but in the whole area of the former Yugoslavia. We believe the parties should avail themselves of this opportunity to establish peace and stability in their area. I shall now resume my function as President of the Council. There are no further speakers inscribed on my list. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Security Council will remain seized of the matter. The meeting rose at 9.20 pm.”

“The resolution we have just adopted contains some important provisions, the most important of which, in the opinion of my country, is the reference to the importance the Security Council attaches to mutual recognition between all States in the area of the former Yugoslavia - recognition that will ensure the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all the States within their internationally recognized borders. Oman believes very much in the importance of this step towards establishing confidence between the States of the region - a confidence that was shattered by years of hostilities and aggression. We hope the parties concerned will fully understand the firm stand of the Security Council on this issue and its hope to see positive steps taken in this regard in the near future. Peace in the former Yugoslavia cannot be selective.”

“While we recognize this achievement, marked by the signing of the Basic Agreement on the Region of Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium, we believe that the Agreement is not an end in itself. Rather it should be taken as a first step towards establishing peace and the normalization of relations in that region and, therefore, the implementation of this Agreement and the setting out of confidence-building measures are of profound importance to the maintenance of peace and prevention of any resort to hostilities. We believe it is the responsibility of both sides to work together in this regard towards that end.”

“Thus we call on all the parties in the former Yugoslavia, particularly on those that are still rejecting peace - a just and comprehensive peace - to do so. Delay is not in favour of either side. Only through peaceful dialogue and constructive negotiations can aspirations be realized. The attacks on innocent civilians and the policy of ethnic cleansing are an ill-fated policy that leads nowhere. With this Agreement, the two sides have proved their true desire for a genuine peace to prevail in the territory of Croatia and this desire is based on resolving their outstanding differences through peaceful means, with strict respect for the sovereignty, political independence and territorial integrity of the Republic of Croatia. We look forward to seeing full cooperation from all concerned in the implementation of this Agreement.”

“Oman joins others in expressing its support for the Basic Agreement on the region of Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium signed on 12 November 1995 in the Republic of Croatia between the Government of the Republic of Croatia and the local Serb representatives. We cannot fail to place on record our appreciation of the role of facilitators played by the United Nations, the United States of America, the European Union and the Russian Federation, which participated in this process and contributed towards its success. We believe the scope of this Agreement will not only affect the two parties concerned - namely the Government of Croatia and the local Serb population - but it will have a positive impact on the region as a Whole.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Oman. It is nearly four years since the war erupted in the former Yugoslavia and only recently have we witnessed signs of peace in that region. Today, the Security Council is meeting in order to reaffirm its commitment to the search for an overall negotiated settlement of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, a settlement that will ensure the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all the States there within their internationally recognized borders, and to stress the importance it attaches to their mutual recognition. It is a special honour for Oman today to preside over the work of the Security Council in order to support this historic achievement of establishing peace in the former Yugoslavia.”

“We believe the international community, the Secretary-General and the United Nations peace-keepers have done commendable work and deserve our appreciation, especially for their relentless efforts in trying to help the parties to resolve their differences and to minimize the humanitarian difficulties. It is now in the hands of the States in the region to work together for confidence and peace in order to alleviate the suffering of their people. They bear the full responsibility for building upon the Peace Agreement and bringing the region a step closer to stability. The days to come will be crucial in harnessing peace in the former Yugoslavia. We believe that unreserved cooperation from the parties is important in making it possible to save succeeding generations in the Balkans from the scourge of war.”

“In this connection, my country attaches great importance to the question of mutual recognition of all States in the region, to the preservation of their territorial integrity, sovereignty and political independence, within their internationally recognized borders - a step we see as consistent with the recently reached Peace Agreement. Today Oman joins others in voting in favour of two important resolutions: one that suspends all measures imposed by, or reaffirmed in, various relevant Security Council resolutions relating to the sanctions on the former Yugoslavia, and the other resolution relating to the lifting of the arms embargo imposed by resolution 713 (1991). We are happy to be a member of the Security Council at this point in time.”

“Oman commends the special and exemplary role played by the United States of America in bringing about this agreement and making it a reality. Nor can we fail to commend the role played by the Russian Federation, the European Union and the complementary role of the United Nations on the level of the proximity talks held at Dayton, Ohio. This Agreement, with its annexes, is not, in our opinion, an end in itself. It is rather a first step in the direction of peace and normalcy in the area of the former Yugoslavia. The days to come will be a testing-ground for the intentions of all parties, an opportunity for them to translate their commitments into a working and genuine reality.”
1995-11-22 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.3595 (1995) · source
“And for its achievement, we sincerely hope that the peace agreement and its annexes will be implemented in good faith by all the parties. We believe the area will now have a chance to avoid being haunted by war and killings, and that the region will enter on the path of peace and normalcy - elements that have been missing for some time. All along, Oman believed in dialogue and political solutions to settle problems and resolve differences - not only in the area of the former Yugoslavia but in all areas where conflicts do exist. In the area of the former Yugoslavia, the warring parties have at last realized this fact, and have also realized that violence produces nothing but bitter experiences. Military solutions cannot establish nations - especially peace-loving nations.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Oman. It gives me great pleasure to preside over the work of the Security Council at this historic moment when we are meeting today to consider the situation in the former Yugoslavia, after the signing of the Peace Agreement at Dayton, Ohio. It has been more than three years since hostilities broke out in the area of the former Yugoslavia - a war that resulted in the deaths of more than a quarter of a million people, in millions of refugees and displaced persons, as well as in massive violations of international humanitarian law. This meeting of the Security Council, which is held in connection with the Peace Agreement reached at Dayton, Ohio, yesterday, 21 November 1995, between the parties to the conflict, is no doubt a historic one indeed.”
