  1. “My delegation would like to stress that it was because of the readiness of the authorities in Belgrade to seal the international border with the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina to help isolate the Bosnian Serbs, who had rejected the territorial settlement plan, that the Security Council took the necessary action. We also want to remind the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) that any continued easing and further easing of the sanctions would be subject to how it meets all its other obligations and to other positive steps that it takes. They should include the following measures.”

  2. “May I also take this opportunity to welcome the Foreign Minister of Italy. Here we are starting the new year and deliberating for the fourth year on the conflict in the former Yugoslavia. Undoubtedly, today's deliberations on the question of the suspension of sanctions imposed on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) are of due relevance to the events in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The measures taken by the Government of Belgrade to close its border with the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina to any transshipment of goods except foodstuffs, medical supplies and necessary clothing to meet essential humanitarian needs were positively met by resolution 943 (1994), adopted on 23 September 1994, suspending certain measures for a period of a hundred days.”

  3. “At the outset, Mr. President, and on behalf of my country, allow me to convey to you and to your friendly country, Argentina, my sincere congratulations on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this first month of the year. My delegation would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm to you its readiness to fully cooperate with you and your delegation. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Ambassador of Rwanda for his fine captaincy during the closing month of 1994 and to applaud the excellent work done by the retired members of the Security Council - Djibouti, Pakistan, New Zealand, Brazil and Spain, whose contributions will be felt for many years to come. We also welcome the new members of the Council and assure them of our cooperation at all times.”

  4. “In conclusion, my delegation, as a non-permanent member of the Security Council, welcomes once again the French initiative and stands ready to work closely with other members in the future discussions of this matter.”

  5. “This is something we understand, since it is compatible with the fact that the Council is the master of its procedures. However, it is our opinion that this issue deserves further careful study before a decision is taken. Whatever the case may be, any improvement in the Council's working methods should be formulated in a manner that enables it to carry out its responsibilities for maintaining peace and security in a prompt and effective manner and in accordance with the circumstances surrounding each situation, as well as in complete adherence to the Charter of the United Nations and the tules and regulations of the Security Council.”

  6. “Moreover, my delegation believes that such participation is a legitimate right of non-members of the Council stemming not only from the fact that the Council acts on their behalf but also from the fact that they are bound by its decisions. We should like to emphasize the importance of preserving the distinctive nature of informal consultations, in which Council members feel more at ease to express more freely and openly their views on the various issues before the Council, especially with regard to sensitive conflicts taking place in their respective regions and elsewhere. The French initiative points out that the recourse to open debate will be on a case-by-case basis. In other words, it is for the Council to decide whether or not to subject a particular issue to an open debate.”

  7. “It is in this context that my delegation welcomes the French initiative aimed at improving transparency through a more frequent recourse to general debates prior to the Council's reaching a decision on an issue before it. We believe that that initiative, if implemented, will go a long way towards alleviating the concerns expressed by many delegations. It would afford the States more directly concerned in a given situation or conflict, as well as troop-contributing countries, a better opportunity for an exchange of views on how the Council could best tackle a problem prior to its taking a definite stand on it. This, in our opinion, would also have a stimulating and enriching effect on the Council's discussions and deliberations on the various issues.”

  8. “If we study and analyse the statements made by many delegations of Members of the international Organization in the context of the plenary meetings of the current session of the General Assembly or in the discussions that took place within the Open-Ended Working Group entrusted with the task of studying Security Council membership and other questions relating to the Council's work, chances are that most of those delegations touched in one way or another on the Security Council's working methods, on the need for a greater transparency in the work of the Council and on improving the flow of information to States non-members of the Council. This is an indication of the enormous importance those delegations attach to this issue.”

  9. “My country's understanding of the draft resolution is that the Security Council, through the report to be submitted by the Secretary-General two months after its approval of the draft resolution, is in a position to check and monitor the performance, mandate and very existence of the operation. On the basis of this understanding, and with the aim of maintaining the prevailing consensus among the members of the Security Council and not upsetting the delicate consensus already reached, my delegation will vote in favour of the draft resolution.”

  10. “37) Welcoming the positive steps that the Tajik parties have taken in signing the Agreement on a Temporary Cease-fire and the Cessation of Other Hostile Acts, and its extension, my delegation considers that the Agreement could pave the way for the creation of suitable conditions for a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Tajikistan. In view of the political support of the United Nations and the neighbouring countries, and taking into consideration the fact that a resolution of the conflict is the full responsibility of the Tajik parties themselves, my country believes that there is no need for the United Nations to establish a peace- keeping operation in Tajikistan that would put an additional financial burden on this Organization.”

  11. “My delegation strongly agrees with the Secretary- General's opinion, expressed in the last paragraph of his report dated 30 November 1994, in which he states that: "The problems of Tajikistan must be solved through a political process, supported by interested Governments and, through the United Nations, by the international community as a whole. But the primary responsibility for composing _ their differences rests with the Tajik parties themselves. The international community should provide the assistance requested of it only if the Tajik parties acknowledge that responsibility and take effective steps to discharge it." (S/1994/1363, para.”

  12. “While commending the work of the Secretary- General's Special Envoy for Tajikistan for the diplomatic role he has been undertaking in this regard, my delegation further welcomes the facilitating role played by the Commonwealth of Independent States, as well as the positive contributions of the neighbouring countries, which have held successful rounds of talks, under the auspices of the United Nations, aimed at the reconciliation of the two conflicting parties in Tajikistan. The last round of these talks was held in the capital of Pakistan, Islamabad, from 20 October to 1 November 1994.”

I wish, however, to assure you of our fullest cooperation with you and your delegation. Similarly, I wish to convey our appreciation to the representative of the United States of America, Ambassador Madeleine Albright, for a job well done last month. On behalf of my delegation, allow me to extend my sincere thanks to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali, for his vigorous efforts and endeavours to find peaceful solutions, through preventive diplomacy, to crises around the world, among which is the conflict in Tajikistan.”

  14. “But, in the case of the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Bosnian Serbs did not indicate to us and to the international community any peaceful intentions except when it came to the lifting of the arms embargo.”

  15. “It would be sending a message condemning the use of heavy weapons, which led to the deaths of hundreds of civilians in the Sarajevo market, Gorazde, Maglaj, Tuzla, Banja Luka and all other areas of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Stemming from my country's support for the idea, the Government of Oman was prepared to join other members of the Security Council in submitting a draft resolution regarding the lifting of the arms embargo that had been imposed on the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In accordance with that position, my country today extends the same support for the latest draft, to be submitted. This calls for the exemption of the Government and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the arms embargo. In conclusion, my delegation would like to affirm its commitment to diplomatic and peaceful solutions.”

  16. “Today this body has an opportunity to amend the mistakes of the past and to restore the faith of the people of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who have suffered tremendously over the past few years, by adopting a decision to exempt the Bosnian Government from the shadow of the arms embargo. This body would be sending a strong message to the Bosnian Serbs that aggression cannot be rewarded and that only adherence to the peaceful initiatives - namely, the unconditional acceptance of the territorial settlement plan - would bring them back into the community of nations and safeguard their future interests.”

  17. “On the contrary, the Bosnian Serbs have used that resolution to 12 improve their bargaining position with the international community by pursuing military options through using force and the policy of "ethnic cleansing" and creating detention camps to further their military gains and erase the identity of that nation. Fortunately, their policy was proven wrong. We have to draw the Council's attention to the fact that, owing to the rejection of peace initiatives, the Bosnian Serbs have let an important opportunity pass by without grasping it. The international community cannot remain silent over what is going on in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina; nor can it accept the status quo, in which 70 per cent of the territory of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina is under the control of the Bosnian Serbs.”

  18. “Despite the delay in the international community's response to the demands of the Bosnian Government to exempt it from the arms embargo, which would enable it to exercise its legitimate right of self-defence, we believe that if such a decision had been taken earlier, peace could possibly have been reached by now. Nevertheless, the international community could still learn from the past and correct its mistakes, which is especially appropriate when we note that resolution 713 (1991) did not fulfil our expectations. The past three years have proven that resolution 713 (1991) did not contribute to bringing about a peaceful settlement to the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

  19. “While the Government of Oman fully understands the argument and the reasons of those countries that are not in favour of the lifting of the arms embargo imposed against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and particularly the views of those countries which have soldiers serving on the ground in the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR), we do see the necessity of creating a balance of power in the area because of the military strength of one side, the Bosnian Serbs. The United Nations can positively help in creating a balance of power through exempting the Government and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the provisions of resolution 713 (1991).”

  20. “In addition, my country has reiterated its support for the plan of territorial settlement presented by the Contact Group, which to date has received the unconditional acceptance by all parties except, unfortunately, the Bosnian Serbs. My Government is deeply concerned over the rejection of the territorial settlement plan by the Bosnian serbs. It views this unjustifiable rejection as a denial of all peaceful efforts made in this regard aimed at bringing peace and tranquillity to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Undoubtedly, the exemption of the Government and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the provisions of resolution 713 (1991) is one of the most important demands receiving wide support among the international community.”

  21. “For nearly three years the Security Council has expended time and efforts to discuss the situation in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and to render its support to the relevant resolutions adopted by this body and to encourage the concerned parties to genuinely implement them. 11 In this context, my Government notes with appreciation the efforts of many countries towards resolving the conflict in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, particularly the efforts made by the members of the Contact Group to reach a peaceful settlement, a settlement that would safeguard the interests of all parties and bring peace and security to that part of the world, which has been shattered by the war.”

We urge them to continue their tireless and heroic efforts in this regard.”

  23. “We welcome in particular the efforts aimed at making the new Government more comprehensive through the invitation to some elements of the former regime whose hands have not been tainted with blood, to participate in the Government and the new army. We deem this a necessary step for the realization of political stability within the framework of the Arusha Peace Agreement. Finally, on behalf of my delegation I should like to pay tribute to the Commission of Experts for its commendable efforts in discharging the mandate and responsibilities entrusted to it. We also applaud the efforts of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, affiliated agencies and other non-governmental organizations for their efforts aimed at alleviating the suffering of the Rwandese people.”

  24. “Under no circumstances can this Tribunal be considered as a legal instrument for revenge for acts of genocide, serious crimes or any other crimes. In this connection we would like to commend the efforts of the Government of Rwanda aimed at achieving national reconciliation, promoting tolerance and understanding, and mitigating the ethnic differences among the Rwandese people, as well as its efforts in encouraging the safe return of the refugees and rebuilding the country's infrastructure destroyed by the war. We believe that the establishment of the International Tribunal will contribute considerably towards realizing those objectives set out both by the international community and the Rwandan Government. We appeal to the Rwandan Government to cooperate fully with the Tribunal.”

  25. “Our support for Security Council resolution 935 (1994) and the resolution just adopted stems from our conviction of the vital importance of bringing to justice all those who have orchestrated and perpetrated these horrible acts. We deem this necessary for the achievement of national reconciliation, the creation of an environment conducive to the peaceful and orderly return of refugees and the eradication of the tradition of impunity, which is one of the main reasons for the violation of the right to life in Rwanda. Furthermore, the establishment of the International Tribunal for Rwanda would also be instrumental in affording the accused, or the suspects themselves, a fair and equitable trial in accordance with the rule of law instead of leaving them completely to the mercy of the justice of the victorious.”

  26. “Three months ago my delegation voted in favour of Security Council resolution 935 (1994) by which the Council established a Commission of Experts to examine and analyse the information pertaining to the serious violations of international humanitarian law in Rwanda, including evidence of possible acts of genocide. Today we have again voted in favour of the resolution just adopted on the establishment of the International Tribunal for the purpose of prosecuting persons responsible for genocide and other serious violations of international humanitarian law in Rwanda. This resolution is a follow-up of the process that the Council initiated by the adoption of resolution 935 (1994) in July 1994.”

  27. “The tragic events that befell Rwanda early this year truly shocked and horrified 16 the international community because of the large scale of the killings, massacres and the act of genocide which accompanied the military confrontation, resulting in an estimated death toll of thousands of people, mostly innocent civilians. However, my delegation notes with great pleasure and satisfaction that the killings have abated and the situation in Rwanda is now characterized by a relative calm and is moving gradually towards peace and normalcy, which the people of Rwanda richly deserve after what they have gone through.”

  29. “My delegation is very much encouraged and grateful to note that there will be a continuation of the humanitarian relief assistance for the Somali people, by both United Nations agencies and non-governmental organizations, even after the withdrawal of the military units, and that at the same time the Secretary-General, through his good offices, will sustain a facilitating or mediating political role for Somalia beyond this period if the Somali people are willing to cooperate with the United Nations. The security of the personnel of the United Nations, the non-governmental organizations and United Nations agencies will have to be guaranteed. It would be highly advisable for the Somali people to fulfil their obligations concerning their cooperation with UNOSOM on its withdrawal in a safe manner.”

  30. “It is undoubtedly for the Somali leaders and the Somali people themselves to assume the responsibility for resolving their own problems, and here my delegation urges the parties in conflict in Somalia to work diligently together in trying to achieve national reconciliation by putting aside their differences for the benefit of Somalia and its people. That goal can be achieved only through the implementation of the agreed objectives and the future realization of a prosperous future that will satisfy the ambitions and aspirations of the Somali people.”

  31. “The coming months could constitute a sad chapter in the future of Somalia and its people, who have been suffering for many years. The draft resolution to be adopted reflects the fact that the international community has exhausted every possible means to put an end to the crisis, and this has resulted in its decision to withdraw the military units from Somalia before the end of March 1995, without having fully achieved many of its long-awaited objectives. It also reflects, in the first place, the failure of the Somali people to benefit from the efforts of the international community and to achieve any political progress and pave the way to national reconciliation and the formation of a new Government to fill the political vacuum and, later, to restore peace and security in Somalia.”

My deep appreciation goes also to the Chairman of the recent United Nations Security Council Mission to Somalia, Ambassador Keating of New Zealand, and to the members of his team for their historic and most difficult mission and for their comprehensive report presented to the Council in this regard.”

I would also like to avail myself of this opportunity to express my country's readiness to cooperate with you and your delegation during this month. Through you, allow me also to extend my sincere thanks to the head of the delegation of the United Kingdom for the exemplary manner in which he steered the work of the Council in the previous month.”

  34. “In conclusion, we are fully convinced that the outstanding problems will be resolved in the best way only through Iraq's close cooperation with the United Nations Special Commission and through the Iraqi authorities' implementing all the relevant resolutions of the Security Council, with, in particular, recognition of Kuwaiti sovereignty and respect for the borders agreement, in accordance with resolution 833 (1993).”

  35. “Oman and other States have worked together to find a way out and to help Iraq pass through the crisis of the sanctions regime within the framework and modalities of relevant Security Council resolutions and the United Nations Special Commission responsible for the destruction of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. None the less, the recent action taken by Iraq to deploy its forces on the southern frontier along the border with Kuwait brought fear and concern about the peace and stability of the region, all of which weakened our endeavours and efforts.”

Such a step, in our opinion, will contribute towards strengthening peace and stability in the region and serve the interests of the brotherly people of Iraq. My country has repeatedly voiced through this respected forum its understanding of the plight of the Iraqi people as a result of continued economic sanctions imposed on their country.”

Our understanding in the Sultanate of Oman of resolution 949 (1994) is that it addresses the urgent situation in the region as a result of the latest Iraqi military action. It aims at preventing a repeat of such action. In our understanding, again, this resolution is not by any means related to the question of the lifting or non-lifting of the sanctions. Oman believes a distinction has to be drawn between earlier Security Council resolutions and today's resolution.”

We are confident that with your wisdom and vast experience you will lead our work successfully. My delegation assures you of our fullest cooperation at all times. At the same time, we wish to convey our gratitude to the Ambassador of Spain for a job well done last month. The Security Council, having reviewed the latest Iraqi military deployment along Kuwait's border, which once again renewed tension in the region, has just adopted resolution 949 (1994), for which we voted in favour. We in the Sultanate of Oman believe that the adoption of today's resolution will contribute towards strengthening peace and stability in the region.”

  40. “As to the three options put forward by the Secretary-General for the expanded force of UNMIH, my delegation has chosen option three, as modified, because it has the advantage of dividing the work between a multinational force and UNMIH. We supported the contents of this resolution in the hope that it will send a loud and clear message to the illegal de facto regime and its military leaders in Haiti that the time has come for them to leave. The international community is adamant in its intention to assist the restoration of democracy in Haiti and the prompt return of its democratically elected Government. In conclusion, my delegation strongly feels that this particular Haitian case must be seen as a unique, special and complex one in its own right, and should not be taken as a precedent for other cases.”

  41. “My delegation believes strongly that this state of affairs is intolerable. The Secretary-General's report points out that the mandate entrusted to the United Nations Mission in Haiti (UNMIH) by resolution 867 (1993) could not be implemented owing to various developments in that country which constitute non-compliance by the Armed Forces of Haiti with the relevant provisions of the Governors Island Agreement. The report therefore calls for the modification of the original mandate of UNMIH. It further proposes the expansion of the mandate so as to include additional tasks. My delegation is in agreement with the Secretary-General regarding the proposed tasks mentioned in paragraph 9 of that report.”

  42. “On 3 July 1993, the Governors Island Agreement was signed under the aegis of the United Nations and the Organization of American States (OAS). It provided, inter alia, for the return of the democratically-elected President of Haiti, His Excellency Mr. Jean-Bertrand Aristide, by 30 October 1993. One year after the signing of that Agreement, the illegal de facto regime and military authorities in Haiti continue to drag their feet on the implementation of its relevant provisions, and to inflict murder, rape and torture on the unfortunate people of Haiti. Their decision a few weeks ago to expel the human rights monitors at a time of increasing and indiscriminate violence against the civilian population of Haiti was yet another act of defiance of the will of the international community.”

  43. “We are quite confident that all parties concerned will cooperate fully with UNOMIG in accordance with the agreed principles and guidelines that guarantee unimpeded freedom of movement for its personnel in the discharge their duties and functions. Since we believe that regional groups and organizations can play a positive role in addressing regional issues, my delegation appreciates the vital role taken by the CIS in resolving the Georgia-Abkhazia conflict in its capacity as the pertinent regional organization concerned. We also support the important conciliatory role of UNOMIG, which is consistent with the noble objectives 11 enshrined in the United Nations Charter. My delegation has thus voted in favour of the resolution just adopted.”

This mandate includes, among other things, the monitoring of the work of the CIS peace-keeping force in the practical implementation of the Agreement on a Cease-fire and Separation of Forces of 14 May 1994. My delegation believes that the presence of UNOMIG and its role in Abkhazia is quite essential and we view it as complementary to that of the CIS force.”

The Sultanate of Oman considers these types of agreements quite significant for their help in creating an environment that will be conducive to bringing the two parties to the conflict- the Georgians and_ the Abkhazians - much closer to a peaceful settlement. My delegation attaches great importance to the need for the United Nations to take an active role in Abkhazia, particularly given the desire expressed by both sides to involve the United Nations in the overall settlement of the conflict.”

With regard to the situation in Abkhazia, Republic of Georgia, my delegation would like to thank the Secretary- General for his reports, and would like to welcome the Agreement on a Cease-fire and Separation of Forces signed in Moscow on 14 May 1994. The implementation of this Agreement is currently taking place under the supervision of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) peace-keeping force.”
