We would like to pay tribute to those African States that have so boldly come forward with troops. We hope that other States will also help in providing troops and equipment, and we are very grateful to all those countries that have already done so. The Rwandan crisis is_ difficult and very complicated; it is the product of centuries of ethnic conflict. Therefore, its resolution might take a long time and extraordinary efforts. Hence, it is crucial that the international community does not forsake the innocent civilian people of Rwanda. On the contrary, we should continue to do all that we can to alleviate their suffering and bring peace and stability back to that country.”

10. “Its importance also stems from the fact that it is a step further in the direction which the Council initiated by adopting on 17 May resolution 918 (1994) aimed at alleviating the human suffering caused by the conflict in Rwanda. In the light of the humanitarian and urgent nature of UNAMIR's task in Rwanda, my delegation wishes to see prompt deployment of the troops. In the mean time, we appeal to the conflicting parties to heed calls for them to exercise maximum self-restraint and to cooperate with UNAMIR in order to facilitate its tasks. Finally, my delegation commends the efforts of the United Nations and non-governmental agencies to extend humanitarian assistance in very difficult circumstances to the Rwandan people.”

11. “We hope that today's meeting on a cease-fire will be a 14 success and will be a major step in trying to ease the suffering and pain of the Rwandan people. It is encouraging, however, that both the interim government and the RPF have expressed their conviction that peace in Rwanda can only be achieved by a political settlement. We therefore urge the two parties to translate their words into deeds by taking effective steps to stop the killings and cease all forms of hostility for their own benefit and for the benefit of the Rwandan people. The resolution we have just adopted, which endorses the Secretary-General's recommendations on _ the deployment of the first and second stages of UNAMIR in close synchronization and extends UNAMIR's mandate for six months, reflects the Council's concern over the deteriorating situation in Rwanda.”

My delegation has emphasized on several occasions in the discussions of the situation in Rwanda that it is crucial for the conflicting parties in Rwanda to achieve a cease-fire and resume political dialogue with a view to implementing the Arusha Peace Agreement, which constitutes a suitable framework for bringing the ongoing conflict in Rwanda to an end. It is regrettable that, despite the fact that two months have passed since the outbreak of the current violence in Rwanda, the killings and the massacres continue unabated and the tireless efforts of the Secretary-General's Special Representative, the UNAMIR Force Commander and the Organization of African Unity (OAU) to bring about a cease-fire between the two parties have been to no avail.”

I should also like to seize this opportunity to commend the Secretary-General's Special Representative for his vigorous efforts in this regard.

While believing that the notion of the arms embargo and military assistance would not bring the satisfactory results expected of it at this stage or in the foreseeable future, my delegation fully supports this endeavour and considers it an important step in the right direction to contain the conflict and to halt its proliferation to other areas.”

My delegation also stresses the importance of coordinating these efforts with the Organization of African Unity and the necessity of ensuring full cooperation from both parties to the conflict in establishing Kigali Airport as a neutral zone and keeping it open at all times for humanitarian relief. The United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) has exerted strenuous efforts in the most difficult conditions in order to help the people of Rwanda through this crisis.”

The current crisis, which is in itself a human tragedy, has unfortunately resulted in the killings of thousands of innocent civilians, including women, children and elderly people, and has caused the internal displacement of a huge number of people, not to mention the mass exodus of refugees to neighbouring countries.”

In this context, my delegation would like to stress that the achievement of peace in Rwanda lies in the hands of the Rwandese parties themselves.”

I would like to express our gratitude to the Permanent Representative of New Zealand for the way he steered our work last month. Regarding the item currently under discussion, my delegation has already expressed its profound regret over the tragic incident that claimed the lives of two African Presidents - the President of Rwanda and the President of Burundi - on 6 April 1994, and the subsequent events of gruesome killings and massacres taking place in Rwanda on a large scale to this date.”

46. “Undoubtedly, it will be very difficult given the current conditions in Rwanda to guarantee the safety of UNAMIR personnel; this would deter them from carrying out their tasks. Should conditions improve in Rwanda, the Council would be able to review the situation and reconsider the mandate accordingly, including the composition of UNAMIR. Under the circumstances, and in the light of what I have just said, my delegation believes that the most appropriate alternative for the current situation in Rwanda is the option that calls for the reduction of UNAMIR while preserving a United Nations political presence in Rwanda. With these views in mind, my delegation will vote in favour of the draft resolution before the Council.”

47. “While appreciating the position that calls for the continuation of the UNAMIR mandate, aimed at strengthening the credibility of the United Nations in that country, we now believe that it would be most appropriate for the time being to reduce the presence of UNAMIR to a minimum. However, a United Nations political presence must be preserved by allowing the representative of the Secretary-General in Rwanda to carry on with his most vital initiative and his intermediary efforts between the conflicting parties. My country supports that alternative because the Rwandese parties are still hesitant to agree to declare Kigali airport as a no-man's land and to put it under the control of UNAMIR.”

Since its establishment in 1993, UNAMIR has been exerting commendable and vigorous efforts to help the Rwandese people in the implementation of the Arusha peace agreement. Nevertheless, its presence in Rwanda now, in the present situation, is considered to be very risky owing to the lack of agreement by the two conflicting parties on a cease-fire and to the absence of a central authority in that country.”

It expresses deep regret over the untimely demise of the two Presidents - Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda and Cyprien Ntaryamira of Burundi - resulting from their unfortunate plane accident en route to Kigali airport. The current violent events in Rwanda have disrupted the peace process that had already been initiated in that country with the signing of the Arusha peace agreement.”
