1. “My Government is pleased to support the establishment of a Commission of Inquiry for Somalia, which will carry out a thorough investigation into the armed attacks on personnel of the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM II). We believe the Commission is vitally important to advancing the peace process in Somalia, a process that has been disappointingly slow. Our primary goal in Somalia is to foster a political dialogue which can lead to national reconciliation. We want to see the Somali people re-establish key institutions needed to ensure that the conditions which led to national tragedies in recent years do not recur. The United Nations must continue to do its part to help create a climate to facilitate that process.”

2. “By strengthening sanctions today, the Security Council has again shown the flexibility of sanctions as a diplomatic tool; and the more we demonstrate that this Council can impose, lift, suspend or strengthen sanctions at will, the better the sanctions stick can serve our diplomacy. The tragic attacks against Pan Am 103 and UTA 772 struck at innocent victims. Their families have awaited our response. Today the Council is responding. We must now await Libyan compliance, but we shall do so determined to persevere until justice is done.”

3. “We await the turnover of those indicted for the bombing of Pan Am 103. We await the Libyan Government's cooperation with the French judiciary. We await compensation for the victims of Libyan terrorism. And we await the Libyan Government's clear and confirmed renunciation of terrorism. The United States has long imposed national sanctions against Libya that go far beyond those adopted by the Council. Still, the United States has committed itself to proceeding fairly and equitably in the process leading to our vote today. We have considered and respected the views of those countries whose economic interests at stake might exceed our own. This resolution is directed at Libya, and Libya alone. For each day that passes without the Libyan Government's compliance, the Libyan people will pay a greater price. Let me emphasize a broader point.”

4. “My Government, in response, is determined to pursue justice. And the pursuit of justice must, when necessary, include mandatory sanctions of the Security Council. The fight against international terrorism must be a collective effort. In working with the Governments of the United Kingdom and France, the United States has led that effort. We have worked closely with every member of the Council. The resolution is balanced and precisely targeted. Its hallmarks are an assets freeze, a limited equipment embargo against the Libyan oil industry and the tightening of earlier sanctions imposed under resolution 748 (1992). To those who say it is not strong enough, I ask this: Why did Libya try so hard to stop this resolution if the sting of its new sanctions is so mild? Libya knows what it must do to comply.”

5. “The resolution we have adopted today demonstrates for all to see that this Council is steadfast in its opposition to international terrorism. The journey to this resolution has not been easy. But the path of justice rarely is. Citizens of 30 nations fell victim to the terrorist attacks that destroyed flights Pan Am 103 and UTA 772. Nearly two years ago, the Council adopted resolution 731 (1992). Put simply, the Libyan Government has refused to heed that resolution. Since then, Libya has spared no effort to break this Council's resolve. It has sought through intermediaries, surreptitious offers, and spurious promises to compromise the will of the international community - and to stave off today's action. The Council can be proud that Libya's efforts to stop this resolution have failed. Terrorism is a challenge to every nation in the world.”

6. “UNOMIG, with a new mandate and reduced in size, can still play a constructive role in monitoring the situation on the ground and helping to create an atmosphere conducive to a negotiated settlement. We commend the tireless efforts of the Secretary-General's Special Envoy, Ambassador Brunner, and we look forward to the talks scheduled for later this month. While we recognize that a negotiated resolution of this conflict is the only way to assure a just and lasting peace and the security that a beleaguered population desperately needs, we must continue our urgent efforts to provide relief to the innocent victims. We must also keep in mind the responsibility for this suffering, about which we shall learn more when the Secretary-General's fact-finding mission submits its report.”

7. “My Government welcomes the passage of this resolution. We would, of course, have preferred that we now be considering the continuation of the United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) in more favourable circumstances - a durable, meaningful cease-fire, voluntarily agreed to by both parties. That, unfortunately, is not the case, because of the unjustified, unilateral Abkhaz violation of the cease-fire agreement of 27 July. None the less, the United States sees in this resolution affirmation of the continuing United Nations commitment to resolution of the conflict in keeping with the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Georgia, which we unreservedly support.”

9. “The United States is also pleased that in this resolution the Secretary-General is invited to appoint a person to coordinate the United Nations role in Cambodia. This is an extremely important task, and we strongly believe that the position requires a capable and widely experienced individual of considerable personal and political stature. As is the case with the military observers, we believe that the tenure of this office should correspond to the needs on the ground rather than to any arbitrary time limit. Finally, the United States strongly endorses the provisions in the resolution calling on Member States and the United Nations to support Cambodia in the fields of de-mining, human rights and national reconciliation and rehabilitation.”

10. “In this regard, we are pleased that this resolution establishes a team of military liaison officers to report on matters affecting security and deal with residual military matters relating to the Paris Agreements. The international community must remain firmly committed to helping promote peace and security in Cambodia, particularly in view of the continuing threat posed by the Khmer Rouge. The length of time that the military liaison officers should remain depends on how long they are wanted and needed by the Cambodians. Thus, we believe that the international community must be prepared to re-examine and, if necessary and so requested by the Cambodian Government, to renew this mission after six months.”

11. “Hundreds of thousands of refugees have been resettled in their homeland and assisted in starting a new life. The United Nations has been active in clearing mines, promoting human rights, training personnel, rebuilding institutions and rehabilitating the country's infrastructure. However, despite the tremendous progress that has been made, a great deal remains to be done. As an old proverb relates, for the want of a nail, ultimately a kingdom was lost. After the enormous investment that the international community has made in Cambodia, it would be a shame and a tragedy if all the progress that has been achieved were jeopardized by a short-sighted reluctance to provide appropriate support to the United Nations programmes needed in Cambodia.”

12. “Let me congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council. We are looking forward to your help this month in many of our difficult projects. I should also very much like to thank Ambassador Sardenberg for his leadership last month. Cambodia has been a shining example of how a United Nations peace-keeping operation can help restore and rebuild a shattered country. The United Nations can take great pride in the role it has played in helping to promote peace, democracy and national reconciliation in Cambodia. Free and fair elections have been held, a new Constitution promulgated and a new Government formed. In numerous other ways, the United Nations has also played a crucial role in helping with the reconstruction of the country.”

13. “But our sadness and our shock only add to our resolve and to the resolve of free people everywhere to end the crisis in Haiti and to do so in a manner that will lay the groundwork for social and economic progress, safeguarded by democratic rule. Finally, let me say this to those who continue to thwart the return of democracy to the troubled nation of Haiti. After today's action by the Security Council there should be no doubt about the determination of the United States and the community of nations. My Government will use its diplomatic and military power to see that economic sanctions work and to ensure that these sanctions serve to shield the flickering flame of Haitian democracy.”

14. “But we take solace in our knowledge that the purpose of these sanctions is ultimately to relieve hardship and to liberate Haiti from the stranglehold now inflicted by a small group of wilful, misguided men. The economic sanctions which this body is now determined to enforce will not enter into effect until Monday. We call upon Haiti's military leaders to take immediate steps this weekend to reaffirm their commitment to the Governors Island Agreement. There is still time for them to heed the will of their own people and the will of the international community. The course of events in Haiti in recent days has been deeply disappointing to us all. Those responsible have done a grave disservice to themselves and to their country. This confrontation was not necessary. This killing is without purpose. The suffering has gone on too long.”

15. “Today, for the second time in four days, the Security Council meets to restate its commitment to the Governors Island Agreement and to the peaceful return of elected President Jean-Bertrand-Aristide. Together we have recognized the need to act promptly and firmly. The draft resolution we are voting for today calls upon all States to cooperate in ensuring that no ships arrive in Haiti in violation of the economic sanctions previously adopted. We understand with sorrow that this course, chosen not by us but by Haiti's military leaders, may cause additional suffering to the vast majority of Haitian citizens who desire only peace, freedom and economic opportunity. It is contrary to our every desire that such hardships should be imposed.”

16. “Because Haiti's military leaders violated the Governors Island Agreement, this Council voted unanimously on 13 October to reimpose mandatory economic sanctions, including a ban on shipments of petroleum and petroleum products to Haiti. In demonstration of our continued desire for cooperation rather than confrontation, we also extended to Haiti's military an invitation and an opportunity to reconsider the fateful course upon which it had embarked. Two days ago our invitation met with gunfire. Guy Malary, Haiti's courageous new Minister of Justice, was murdered in broad daylight and in cold blood. This was an act of profound cowardice. The individuals responsible for this heinous crime betrayed their country and their countrymen.”

17. “We meet today in a spirit of sadness, anger and determination. Five days ago Haiti's military leaders violated a solemn Agreement reached at Governors Island last July to resolve peacefully the governmental crisis in their country. Armed demonstrators acting with police and military support created an intolerable situation in Port-au-Prince. Canadian and United States troops, on a United Nations mission, could not enter Haiti under those conditions. This personnel, sent in peace at the request of the Haitian Government, was not armed for combat and had no desire for confrontation. In the absence of the secure environment repeatedly promised by the Haitian military, we refused to put the personnel ashore.”

18. “The international community and the parties to the conflict, working together through the Minsk process, must act to alleviate the human suffering and find a peaceful solution. We hope that the parties to the conflict, encouraged by all those who are working for a negotiated solution, will seize the key opportunity offered by the Minsk Group's plan. To let it pass would be a tragic mistake.”

19. “Through the resolution we have just adopted, the international community expresses its strong support for the vital, continuing efforts of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) Minsk Group to help resolve the conflict in the Nagorny-Karabakh region. In the spirit of this resolution and previous Council resolutions, the Minsk Group has developed a plan that envisages international monitoring of a phased cease-fire and negotiations among all the parties through early convocation of the Minsk Conference. The situation in the region has worsened considerably. Recent military actions have increased the possibility that the conflict could spread. The tide of refugees has swelled, just at the onset of winter, to more than 900,000.”

20. “In closing, let me say to the Council and to the people of Haiti that the United States is committed to the return of Haitian democracy. Achieving that goal will not be easy. Our preferred course is not the stick of sanctions but the carrot of economic and technical assistance. Today the Haitian military left us no choice. But when the day comes that democracy dawns again in Haiti my Government stands ready to begin with you, the people of Haiti, the job of rebuilding and revitalizing your country.”

21. “But we know that imposing sanctions in New York has changed behaviour in Port-au-Prince. Tough economic sanctions brought the Haitian military to the bargaining table last July. Our hope is that today's renewal of sanctions will provide another wake-up call to those who seek to extinguish the democratic flame in Haiti. I want to thank my colleagues on the Council who have cooperated in this quick action. My Government will take firm measures to enforce this resolution. We will direct travel and financial sanctions against individuals obstructing the agreement. We will maintain the pressure for democratic change in every manner possible, short of an armed intervention that no one wants. We will continue to explore every avenue for a peaceful solution.”

22. “The Governors Island Agreement sought to ensure that the transition would be peaceful, that recriminations would be minimal, and that amnesty would be given to those who illegally ousted a democratically elected President. General Cedras and Police Chief Francois have chosen a perilous, self-defeating and dishonourable course. They are riding a tiger that may ultimately devour them. We urge them to reconsider their actions now. Another blow has been struck against Haitian democracy. To the vast majority of the Haitian people, I say this: The community of nations remains with you. The members of this Council are with you. The Organization of American States is with you, and the Caribbean Community is with you. Today the Council votes to reimpose economic sanctions. We have not taken this decision lightly.”

23. “We have never suggested or threatened an intervention in Haiti over the opposition of the military, nor has that course of action ever been endorsed or proposed by Haiti's elected President, Jean-Bertrand Aristide. This has never been - nor should it be - some kind of gunboat diplomacy. The events in Port au Prince on Monday demonstrated a Haitian military capability that has never been contested. The force of the mob was used to delay a mission that would never have been undertaken without their consent. Some in Haiti may think that a great victory has been won, but this would be a dangerous delusion. The day will come when democratic rule is restored to Haiti.”

24. “This past Monday, the military leaders of Haiti violated a solemn agreement. That agreement sought to resolve peacefully the governmental crisis in their country. Armed demonstrators acting with police and military support prevented United States troops on a United Nations mission from entering Haiti. These troops were invited into Haiti by Haiti's Prime Minister, Robert Malval. America's troops were not sent to confront the military or police, but to provide technical and training assistance. The Governors Island Agreement of 3 July 1993 called for this mission. But my Government has said from the outset that our participation depended upon the willingness of the Haitian military to provide, as promised, a cooperative and secure environment.”

25. “Let me be clear: the Serbian authorities must stop their interference in the internal affairs of Croatia and must end their military, political and other support for the Croatian Serbs. Finally, I wish to make it clear that while this makes UNPROFOR (Croatia) one of the subordinate commands within the integrated command structure of UNPROFOR as a whole, the resolution establishes no precedent for the command and control arrangements for any peace-keeping force led by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) that might be employed to implement a peace agreement in Bosnia.”

26. “However, we must remind all of the parties to the conflict that they bear a heavy responsibility for the failure to make progress on the peace plan, just as they will earn the credit for its successful implementation. My Government cannot subscribe to and will not accept gratuitous criticism of UNPROFOR in Croatia for its alleged failure to implement the plan. What is important is to look to the future, as this resolution does, and begin the difficult work of implementing the plan in good faith. As a part of this process, the United States calls specifically on the Croatian Serbs and on Serbian authorities to show by their actions that they are prepared to work for a peaceful resolution, in keeping with the territorial integrity of the Republic of Croatia and the rights of all its citizens.”

27. “Although much attention today has been focused on the operations of UNPROFOR in Croatia, it is important to emphasize that UNPROFOR's mandate and the effects of its extension apply with equal importance to Bosnia and Herzegovina and to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. In considering this resolution we have paid careful attention to the views of the Government of Croatia, especially its concern that the Vance plan has not been put into effect. We share this concern. We view this resolution as an attempt to energize the parties to begin the difficult process of implementing the plan, and we will exert our energies to this end.”

Let me also congratulate the Permanent Representative of Venezuela for the extremely good way he led us last month, during which there was so much work to be done. The United States considers this action to extend the mandate of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) essential to the international community's efforts to minimize the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, to prevent it from spreading, to provide humanitarian relief and, most important, to facilitate negotiated solutions to all aspects of the conflict.”

I am pleased to announce that the United States is now taking steps to prepare for the suspension of sanctions. We are working with the Haitian Government to unfreeze frozen assets. Today the people of Haiti and the community of nations will together take a crucial step forward towards the return of President Aristide on 30 October, the renewal of Haitian democracy and hopefully, the restoration of a failed State. Our success today also provides a glimpse into the future, a glimpse of a greater vision my Government sees for the United Nations.”

It is a triumph for multilateral diplomacy, at the Organization of American States and at the United Nations. We have put multilateral diplomacy at the service of democracy and human dignity. And, above all, this week has been a triumph for the Haitian people. Today's suspension of sanctions is not only a success, but a first for the Security Council in recent years. In addition to Haiti, this Council has imposed sanctions on Iraq, on Serbia and on Libya. Now we have removed them from Haiti. We have shown that we will be serious in responding to serious progress.

Our goal was clear: to help restore the democratic government that had been stolen from the people of Haiti. We knew that sanctions alone could not solve Haiti's suffering. But we also knew that imposing sanctions would send a clear and unequivocal message to those who would extinguish the democratic flame and in so doing allow their own nation to collapse. When sanctions were imposed the United States called on the Haitians to put their country's interesc over their own, and to negotiate a settlement. The Governors Island Agreement, signed two weeks later, was a clear demonstration that sanctions had worked, that the international community's resolve had paid off.”

We hope that participants will come to that meeting prepared to address these needs in a concrete and generous manner. The international community also has a responsibility to be prepared to assist the new Cambodian Government in such areas as de-mining; protecting and promoting human rights; and encouraging peace and stability. The United States believes the Security Council continues to have an important role to play in this regard, and we intend to do everything possible to ensure that it does so.”

UNTAC has been a shining example of how a United Nations peace-keeping operation can help restore peace and hope to a shattered nation. In July I visited Cambodia, and the story of peace-keeping is that an American Ambassador, having been briefed by an Australian Commander, got on a Russian helicopter to review Japanese troops on the border of Cambodia and Viet Nam. I think the commitment that the international community made to Cambodia in the UNTAC operation needs to be made also in the post-UNTAC era. Although UNTAC is on the verge of completing its mission, the responsibility of the international community to assist Cambodia is far from over.”

The courageous individuals who participated in the United Nations Transition Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), some of whom gave their lives in the international effort to restore Cambodia to the community of nations, as well as the countries which contributed so generously to this effort, deserve our thanks and commendation.”
