“Botha, in which he said: (spoke in English) "The move I have taken provides you with the opportunity to overcome the current deadlock and to normalize the country's political situation. I hope you will seize it without delay to lay the foundation for a new era in our country in which racial discrimination and prejudice, coercion and confrontation, death and destruction will be forgotten." (spoke in Spanish) That quotation summarizes a political position reflecting a will to negotiate, and this Council should not ignore it. My country hopes that this opportunity will be created anew and that the parties will seize it to benefit a society that has been the victim of what the United Nations has termed a crime against humanity. In June 1990, Mr.”

“Violence would impose its unbridled pace and would take even more victims in a society which for centuries has been abandoned and martyred. That is why we are convinced that every effort must be made to reorient negotiations to reach a new constitutional agreement. We are also convinced that a climate of understanding and negotiation can be achieved only with an end to violence. South Africa must end this war with itself. That responsibility must be shouldered by all the parties. Venezuela has always stood in solidarity with this cause of mankind, the struggle against apartheid, from the very moment when the then Prime Minister of India, Pandit Nehru, proposed the inclusion of this item on our agenda more than 40 years ago. In 1989, from a Johannesburg prison cell, Nelson Mandela wrote a letter to the then President of South Africa, Mr.”

“In connection with the question of violence, I should like to quote a paragraph from the second report of the Goldstone Commission on the prevention of violence and intimidation in South Africa, issued yesterday in London: "The causes of the violence are many and complicated, They include economic, social and political imbalances against the people of South Africa. These are the consequences of three centuries of racial discrimination and over 40 years of extreme forms of racial and economic dislocations in consequence of the policy of apartheid. The consequences on the black people of South Africa are well known and documented." There is no alternative to a resumption of negotiations, nor should there be.”

“Venezuela will support all measures the Council and the Secretary-General may consider proper to achieve the goals of ending the climate ef violence and continuing the constitutional negotiations that are indispensable for the establishment of a new, non-racial, united and democratic South Africa. We recognize the progress that has been made in South Africa, progress that gave rise to much hope in the international community. We therefore deeply regret that the negotiations and the progress have come to a halt. Controlable criminal violence has been responsible for this situation, which brings the Council together today.”

“President Mandela's dignity, courage, tolerance and decency added unequalled weight and value to his address to the Council. For me and for my country, Nelson Mandela is a figure of his time, of our time, and of times to come. Venezuela endorsed the request of the OAU summit to convene this meeting of the Security Council on the alarming situation in South Africa. It could not have been otherwise. My country is convinced that this forum of mankind, which has contributed so much to the struggle against apartheid, can still do a great deal more to end the violence and make it possible to resume negotiations.”

“Mr. ARRIA (Venezuela) (interpretation from Spanish): I wish to join in the congratulations that have been rightly extended to you, Sir, on your election to the presidency of the Council, and to ambassador Noterdaeme of Belgium on the way in which he led the Council last month. Clearly, the presence here of Ministers of Foreign Affairs from countries members of the Organization of African Unity lends special importance to this meeting of the Security Council. The presence of Mr. Nelson Mandela, President of the African National Congress of South Africa (ANC), gives the meeting an added dimension. It is clear that he embodies the cause of an entire nation, a nation whose name can be summed up as "Mandela". That name also embodies the cause of mankind against apartheid, a crime against humanity unanimously condemned by this Organization.”

“The heirs of that prestigious and respected nation, a founder, together with Egypt and India, of the Non-Aligned Movement, are today in Croatia, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in Kosovo, in Slovenia, in Macedonia and in Vojvodina - not merely in Serbia and Montenegro. Yugoslavia is no longer in the midst of a civil war, as was said last year by the former Chancellor, Mr. Loncar: Belgrade is today waging war against other States, sovereign Members of our Organization. We share the hopes expressed by other Council members that the sanctions - which stem from the intransigence of the Belgrade authorities - will lead to peace and harmony in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Their lifting will depend exclusively upon the will of Belgrade.”

“Let those who do so be convinced today that the Security Council will discharge its mandate to preserve international peace and security. The Security Council has reached this point after all the failed efforts of the international community to halt the massacres in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The long negotiating process led only to an increase in violence, death and destruction. It is the leaders of Belgrade who have thus brought about this draft resolution. Venezuela will vote today as it has done in other tragic circumstances. The defence and protection of human rights and the defence of international law must be given equal weight. There is no room here for a double standard. The Federation, with its diversity of population and imposed unity no longer exists.”

“These sanctions are their responsibility: instead of heeding the call of the Security Council contained in resolution 752 (1992), and the appeals of the European Community, the leaders in Belgrade have flouted international opinion and widened the scope of their attacks on Bosnia and Herzegovina to Dubrovnik and other parts of Croatia. This resolution deplores and condemns the conduct of a State that has abused its military power and trampled the sovereignty of a State Member of our Organization, Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is no longer a domestic problem for the former Yugoslavia. The resolution will also send an important message to States that think they can still solve their differences with other States by force of arms.”

“We have concluded, however, that if we fail to act today we will be abandoning the peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the worst possible fate. Respect for the norms and principles of international law is a prerequisite for peace and security in the world. Any State that violates them must be condemned. As a country that has abided unfailingly by those principles, Venezuela cannot but vote in favour of the draft resolution, which is the last recourse in a lengthy process of negotiations tragically frustrated by the intransigence and violence of the leaders in Belgrade.”

“The international community delayed too long in bringing this matter before the Council. In case unfortunate circumstances such as these befall another country, we must avoid the kind of delay that has caused all this bloodshed and destruction. The delegation of Venezuela will cast a favourable vote for reasons that are basically humanitarian. We cannot refrain from clearly and unambiguously stating our views regarding the massacre that now obliges us to adopt Sanctions against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. My delegation has carefully analysed the implications and consequences of the draft resolution. We share many of the concerns that have been expressed regarding its real impact on Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

“Mr. ARRIA (Venezuela) (interpretation from Spanish): Mr. President, it has been most fortunate for the Council that you have been in the chair in the course of our discussions during this complex month, when your poise and competence have made such a major contribution. I should also like to join those who have congratulated our colleague from Zimbabwe on the way in which he conducted the Council's work in the month of April. Thousands of deaths, thousands and thousands of wounded; nearly a million refugees; hundreds of thousands of houses destroyed; 700 burned churches; all the mosques razed; hospitals, clinics, maternity wards bombed: how much longer must this Council wait before acting? How much longer does it have to try to negotiate with leaders who are insensitive and inflexible: until Bosnia and Herzegovina are totally extinct?”

“Lastly, in connection with the scope of the sanctions regime authorized by this resolution, Venezuela wishes to make one more appeal to the Government of Libya, with which my country has diplomatic relations and with which we share economic interests, that Libya fulfil the provisions of resolution 731 (1992) before the 15 April 1992 deadline provided for in this latest resolution. I now resume my function as President of the Security 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 1.50 p.m.”

“Terrorism is a recurrent and unacceptable feature of the contemporary political scene; we reiterate our request that an international criminal court be set up to complement the International Court of Justice. It is my delegation's understanding that both the Council and the International Court of Justice are independent of each other, and that each of these organs in the United Nations system must exercise its jurisdiction autonomously. It is important, however, that public opinion should understand that, although it would have been desirable for there to be a simultaneous decision by the two forums, the absence of such a simultaneous decision cannot inhibit the actions which the one or the other may take, and that their actions do not imply a disregard for their respective responsibilities.”

“We are also at one with the aspiration of the international community, which quite rightly desires acts of international terrorism not to go unpunished. To act otherwise, we believe, would encourage other such acts in future. My delegation believes that this is not simply a matter which concerns Libya and the Security Council; it is a matter in which the international community is calling for justice in the midst of an institutional vacuum which the Security Council finds itself compelled to fill. That is its responsibility, and one which it is assuming today by adopting this resolution, Because of the need to strengthen the actions of the United Nations system as a whole, Venezuela reiterates the need for the system to be provided with legal mechanisms capable of dealing with the type of criminal activity now before the Council.”

“We have no doubt that the mechanism sought in resolution 731 (1992) was perfectly incarnated in the person of the Secretary-General of the United Nations; the hierarchy he heads gave him the means he needs to carry out the mission of good offices the Council entrusted to him under resolution 731 (1992); and we deplore the fact that Libya has not availed itself of those good offices. We now find ourselves in a situation of extreme complexity with implications of various kinds of which we are not unaware. In voting for resolution 748 (1992) today, we have borne very much in mind the circumstances and aspirations of the Libyan Government, but we have also borne very much in mind the aspirations of the 32 different nationalities to which the victims of the terrorist acts that led the Council to adopt resolution 731 (1992) belonged.”

“On this occasion, we reiterate the contents of the Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation among States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and the Declaration on the Strengthening of International Security adopted in General Assembly resolutions 2625 (XXV) and 1 2734 (XXV). I wish today to express my delegation's very special appreciation for the efforts of our Secretary-General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, in seeking a negotiated solution with the Government of Libya that would avoid the application of sanctions. The repeated missions by his Special Envoy clearly made use of every possible diplomatic option. In this respect, we also wish to recognize the good offices deployed by the League of Arab States.”

“In accordance with Council tradition, at the end of this meeting I wish to speak in my capacity as representative of Venezuela. The Security Council, through resolution 731 (1992), has unanimously come out in favour of eliminating terrorism, and, in particular, has urged the Government of Libya to provide a complete and effective response to the requests submitted to it in order to determine responsibility for the terrorist acts committed against Pan Am flight 103 and UTA flight 772. The delegation of Venezuela has set out its position, pointing out that, as we see it, the cause of international peace and security requires a firm and resolute response against all manifestations of terrorism.”

“Those efforts would be complementary and would give the parties confidence in a future not limited to the presence of United Nations monitoring mechanisms. As the Secretary-General observed in his report, the substantive problem that Somalia must face is the absence of a civil society. The international community as a whole, and the Security Council in particular, can, should and must respond effectively with assistance and advice in this extraordinary African tragedy to which the international community too long remained dangerously indifferent.

“Without a political settlement, the country will be unable to resolve its civil and humanitarian problems. The challenge for the international community is to reverse this process of alienation and the fratricidal division of the Somali nation. Despite its recent painful history, that nation has invaluable strengths, particularly those stemming from its cultural, ethnic and religious unity. In our view it is indispensable that to promote those purposes the Secretary-General should turn to a personality of a very high level, widely recognized internationally. That person could work with vision towards achieving the delicate political task of national reconciliation as the technical team carries out its work in respect of the cease-fire and humanitarian assistance.”

“The first is reflected in paragraph 6 of the draft resolution, which is aimed at continuing to explore the possibilities of consolidating the cease-fire and ensuring the effectiveness of the humanitarian aid and assistance urgently required by the Somali population. The second is reflected in paragraph 9, which is aimed at recognizing that the tragedy of Somalia will be resolved in a stable and definitive way only in so far as the Somali nation recognizes the need for its own reconciliation, putting an end to a terrible war that it is waging with itself. On behalf of Venezuela, I should like to make a few comments on that latter aspect of the Council's mandate. Somalia is at present a devastated country in economic, social and institutional terms. Twenty years of civil war have left deep marks on Somali society.”

“The cooperation and assistance of the regional organizations, such as the Organization of African Unity, the Leaque of Arab States and the Organization of the Islamic Conference, have undoubtedly contributed to alleviating tension and facilitating dialogue. Both those developments are a significant example of the work that the United Nations must do at this new stage in international relations and the irreplaceable support that can be provided by those regional organizations. Thanks to them we are now at a new stage in this painful African situation. The draft resolution before the Council today underscores the two aspects of Somalia's immediate problems.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Venezuela. Somalia was for many years an active part of the theatre of confrontation of the cold war, and then, paradoxically, it fell victim to the end of that war, which has left as a sad and distressing legacy a dangerously impoverished people, dangerously over-armed and also dangerously undernourished. As representative of Venezuela, I congratulate the Secretary--General, Mc. Boutros Boutros-Ghali, on the expeditious way in which he has implemented resolution 733 (1992) of 23 January. The consultations held in New York between the parties to the conflict and the sending to Somalia of the special envoy, Under-Secretary-General James Jonah, have at last made it possible to establish a certain cease-fire.”
