To that end, Venezuela deems it essential that Iraq unconditionally fulfil the decisions of the Council, which have been reiterated today by the presidency of the Council and by the representatives who have spoken before me.

“We consider it a priority and urgent matter that, over and above complying with the Council's decisions with respect to disarmament, Iraq fully satisfy the compensations required, particularly those in respect of Kuwait. It must also fulfil its obligations with regard to persons who have disappeared, to property and to boundary delimitations as soon as possible. We are also confident that the Government of Iraq will understand its humanitarian responsibilities to ensure the national reconciliation of its people with full respect for the human rights of all its citizens, many of whom are now subjected to untold and unjustifiable violations of such rights.”

“We believe that Iraq must carry out the obligations imposed upon it by the Security Council, obligations which Irag has unconditionally pledged to implement fully. I would note here and deplore the fact that Iraq has thus far not had recourse to the option of selling oil to help feed its population, which is suffering unnecessarily from Iraq's refusal to do so, a refusal that is totally contrary to the basic interests of its own people. Above and beyond this humanitarian appeal, I should like to express Venezuela's hope that Iraq will meet all its international obligations as soon as possible in order that its people will once again be able to aspire to the economic and social development to which they are fully entitled.”

“In participating in this discussion, Venezuela cannot fail to note that that the cause of the crisis we are discussing today is the sole and entire responsibility of the Government of Iraq, which, in violation of the norms and principles of international law, invaded militarily and annexed to its territory the neighbouring State of Kuwait and then proceeded to devastate that State. We are confident that with this meeting the Council is entering upon an exhaustive consideration of Iraq's obligations. We have the collective responsibility to make of this meeting an opportunity to make constructive progress to ensure that these obligations are carried out, and it is important to emphasize here that the decision in this respect is almost exclusively up to the Iraqi authorities.”

“The role of the United Nations is and has been central, but it is clear that only an unrestricted willingness by the Cambodian people and their leaders will make it possible to reach the goals proposed in the resolution the Security Council adopted unanimously today. My delegation takes this opportunity to acknowledge the active role played by Japan in the run-up to the peace process that brought about the first cease-fire following the Tokyo meeting of June 1991, and Japan's willingness to cooperate in the process of reconstruction.”

“With all their limitations, those Agreements still undoubtedly represent the only hope of guaranteeing peace and security in Cambodia, where crimes against humanity and genocide have only one precedent in modern history: the Nazi atrocities. It is no accident that UNTAC's mission to pacify and rehabilitate Cambodia is the largest in the history of the United Nations: it was dictated by the magnitude of that country's tragedy. This is the beginning of a process of weapons destruction, disarmament, repatriation of hundreds of thousands of people from the border with Thailand and the establishment of civil administration; this should culminate in free elections that will finally bring to Cambodia political pluralism, an essential condition if peace and order are to last.”

“Mr. ARRIA (Venezuela) (interpretation from Spanish): The efforts of the Secretary-General and his representatives, Mr. Ahmed and Mr. Akashi, to organize the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) deserve our greatest admiration and appreciation. Just 20 years ago, in March 1972, Prince Sihanouk was expelled from Phnom Penh. Thus began a seemingly interminable civil war that has cost the lives of one sixth of Cambodia's population. The Paris Agreements, promoted with the effective participation of the permanent members of the Security Council, have made it possible to bring to an end that cruel confrontation.”
