“It seems to us that the most recent proposal by the Abkhaz to repatriate a mere 200 individuals a week is, in a sense, motivated by a policy of exploitation that seeks to take advantage of the situation facing refugees and displaced persons to attain other goals. For this reason, my delegation recommends that the observers' mandate be strengthened so that human rights violations may be detected. It suggests that individuals with competence and experience be sent to Georgia, as opposed to the neophytes that were sent to my country. As you are aware, genocide and ethnic cleansing are not the problem of the society or individual country concerned; they are a universal problem. In this context, the United Nations adopted an international convention to which most countries have acceded.”

“It also notes with satisfaction the ongoing consultations aimed at introducing a new Constitution with a view to a comprehensive political settlement. My delegation is however concerned at the insecurity in the region and the violations of international humanitarian law through the premeditated policy of systematic elimination on the part of one party to the conflict, with the aim of taking control of a territory by terrorizing and massacring innocent civilians. Unfortunately, this policy is being pursued in the name of misplaced nationalism, ancient grievances and an avid thirst for vengeance. My delegation is concerned at the objection of the Abkhaz side to facilitating the speedy return of displaced persons and refugees.”

“Mr. Bakuramutsa (Rwanda) (interpretation from French): Mr. President, my delegation would like to congratulate you on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of May. You can count on my delegation's cooperation as you discharge your responsibilities. I should also like to congratulate His Excellency Ambassador Kovanda, the Permanent Representative of the Czech Republic, on the wisdom and skill he displayed in guiding the work of the Security Council during the month of April. My delegation extends a cordial welcome to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Georgia and wishes him to know that we understand better than anyone the situation in his country because of the similarities between our two countries. My delegation commends the Secretary-General for his report on Georgia dated 1 May 1995.”

“Considering all these factors, my delegation fully understands that the task was indeed not easy for the drafters of this draft resolution, because of its high complexity, involving a precise understanding of diverse threats and their causes, and of national vulnerabilities. My delegation is strongly convinced that moral and strategic factors dictate the need to find new ways to achieve mutual security without exposing mankind to the terror of living under the threat of nuclear annihilation. Even though the road is still long, my delegation feels that it is up to all nations in the international structure to help shape the international security environment, which affects their future survival. It is in that same context that my delegation will vote in favour of the draft resolution.”

“Any meaningful assessment of possible security strategies requires prior specification of the defining features of the international environment that is being addressed. It cannot be assumed that all strategies meet the challenge of various international settings equally well. Furthermore, in a fluctuating security environment, strategy analysis cannot be linked to discussion of the probabilities of facing familiar threats. Rather, it is important to identify the different types of threats and possible combinations thereof. Strategic surprise not only stems from inadequate risk assessment but also is often related to unimaginative threat analysis.”

“We feel that a positive strategy is an effort to persuade States not to threaten other nations, whereas a negative strategy aims at increasing the cost of making such threats. Some countries may try to change the environment by enhancing their security and adjusting national conditions and goals to strengthen their position. But in the long run, this is useless if there are no security assurances on a world-wide level. My delegation feels that it is also important to analyse the structure of today' s international environment. Especially in the present context of adversarial interdependence, some strategies may be more promising than others. For example, approaches that proved useful during the cold war or the detente era may be less appropriate to the contemporary structure.”

“Since this is the first time I have addressed the Council during your presidency, Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council. I would also like to express our gratitude to your predecessor, Ambassador Li Zhaoxing, for the excellent manner in which he directed the work of the Council last month. My delegation would also like to thank the sponsors of the draft resolution before the Council for having taken into account some of our concerns while drafting the text. There is talk nowadays of apparent signs of relaxation of tensions, and more and more peaceful ways are being found to settle international problems.”

“The resolution would be incomplete if it did not go hand in hand with legal measures inside Rwanda that will make it possible to build the country ruled by law of which the Rwandese people dream.”

“It did not escape unscathed from the process of making it acceptable for adoption. The Security Council could draw a lesson from what happened in Rwanda to spare Africa and the world a replay of that calamity. The Rwandese Government, for its part, also has a great deal to learn, but it also has a great deal of experience to share with others. My delegation would conclude by asking the Security Council to take care that Rwanda's internal security is assured so that these same criminals cannot take advantage of the arms embargo against Rwanda to disturb the peace in the country. If Rwanda is to be responsible for its own security and internal peace, the Security Council must ditch some of the provisions that are no longer warranted from its previous resolutions.”

“For if impunity should persist and no action is taken, what happened in Rwanda is very likely to happen again in other countries of the region, where the situation has been described as potentially explosive. As we speak, battles are raging in certain areas of Africa, while elsewhere, some groups are preparing to eliminate opposing ethnic groups or factions. This problem is not peculiar to Africa; the same situation has taken deep root in the heart of Europe. The resolution sends a clear and firm message to other political and ethnic organizations that might be tempted to repeat what has happened in Rwanda, and tells them that their actions will not go unpunished. That is why we wanted this resolution to be much stronger and much more binding than it is in its present form.”

“President, and the Office of the Secretary-General, in the context of preventive diplomacy, increasingly a tool of choice in this Organization, are closely following everything that happens in the world. In this context, I should like to remind the Council that these Rwandese and other criminals are busy training in the countries of the subregion, with the assistance and support of friendly countries, with a view to attacking Rwanda. Just in case this information turns out to be true, my delegation would urge the Council to check and, in the context of the aforementioned preventive diplomacy, find an appropriate solution before it is too late. This is why the resolution is of concern not only to Rwanda, but also to the whole of Africa and to the world.”

“The resolution will also make it possible to protect refugees and other citizens of Rwandese origin living in neighbouring countries, who are right now still falling victim to the same butchers that are going on killing without a shred of remorse or repentance for their acts. The resolution could play a preventive role because, if the perpetrators of these crimes are not arrested, their actions are likely to set the subregion ablaze. The genocide perpetrated in Rwanda - a crime unique in Africa - has demonstrated to some, particularly Rwanda's neighbours, that such a thing is possible. The affluence in which the perpetrators live, the impunity that they enjoy, are an encouragement to criminals in other countries to do likewise. My delegation is sure that you, Mr.”

“Mr. Bakuramutsa (Rwanda) (interpretation from French): My delegation would like to thank the delegation of the United States, which prepared this resolution - and the other members of the Council that worked on it - on the detention of persons found guilty of crimes against humanity, both within and outside Rwanda. The resolution is of great importance for Rwanda and its people, since those who committed genocide and other crimes against humanity in Rwanda had held sway in the country for three and a half decades. They committed several waves of massacres with no one ever to bother them, since they were carrying out Government policy. The consequence of this impunity was the genocide that took place in full view of the world, which did not lift a finger to stop it.”

“I should like to recall that the concern for justice in Rwanda shown by the Security Council implies that serious thought must be given to support for the Rwandan courts competent to supplement the work of the Tribunal.”

“None the less, the fact that this argument has been used in favour of relocating the Tribunal outside Rwanda does not mean that my delegation agrees with it in any way. Our Government has no less a concern for and a sense of justice and fairness than any one, witness that it was the Government of Rwanda that asked for the International Tribunal. My delegation would wish that other arguments could be found for relocating the seat. I should like to conclude by thanking the Secretariat's Office of Legal Affairs, which regularly contacted my delegation about the International Tribunal. Given Rwanda's current situation, such contacts are necessary and facilitate cooperation.”

“The Government of Rwanda has already decided to work with the International Tribunal and support it as it wishes to cooperate to the extent that cooperation is possible and to the extent that the interests of the Rwandan people are not put at risk. Within this framework of cooperation, my delegation, while preferring the seat of the Tribunal to be in Rwanda, is not opposed to its being located in a neighbouring country and close to Rwanda in order to minimize the effects I mentioned of its being outside the country. My delegation takes this opportunity to thank Tanzania, which, in Arusha, will once again play a historic and symbolic role for Rwanda. My delegation shares the concern expressed by the Secretary-General in paragraph 42 of his report (S/ 1995/ 134) about the justice and fairness the International Tribunal needs.”

“We cannot see why this right should be denied the Rwandans, a people who wish to use justice as a foundation for national unity following the genocide of 1994, for reconstructing a country destroyed by injustice. But also, and more importantly, how will the survivors of the genocide and the butchers forgive if they do not see justice done? For practical reasons, my delegation believes that shifting the seat of the Tribunal away from Rwanda will entail mobilizing immense resources to ensure that the guilty are there to be tried and for travel and subsistence costs for witnesses and plaintiffs. My delegation is afraid that the International Tribunal for Rwanda will make a very poor showing indeed, given that Rwanda has no resources and the Organization is always complaining about the lack of finance.”

“Members will recall that the outcome of the Security Council's deliberations was not exactly what was expected and needed by the people of Rwanda and their Government. I should like to recall here that one of the reasons that could have prompted my delegation to vote against that resolution - which we ourselves had requested - was the question of the location of the seat of the International Tribunal for Rwanda. The Tribunal should sit in Rwanda given that it is a tribunal for judging Rwandans. In fact, the people of Rwanda, like all peoples of the world, need to see justice done for their sons and daughters. The Germans, the French, the Jews and the other peoples of the world did, notably after the Second World War.”

“Mr. Bakuramutsa (Rwanda) (interpretation from French): My delegation thanks the Secretary-General for his report on the implementation of paragraph 5 of Security Council resolution 955 (1994). As members know, the establishment of an international tribunal was at the explicit request of the Rwandan Government, and in the interest of establishing justice and the rule of law, which had been lacking in our country since 1959. The key points in the minds of the Government and the people of Rwanda included neither punishment nor vengeance, but rather justice: the establishment of the rule of law, in other words, the establishment of a basis for breaking the vicious circle of impunity that had prevailed in the country for over 35 years.”

“In order to contribute to making irreversible the coming of the era of peace, stability and democracy in Angola, my delegation supported UNAVEM. II and on 8 December 1994 expressed a desire for the rapid deployment of UNAVEM. III. As regards the principal objectives and mandate of UNAVEM. III, the delegation of Rwanda supports its establishment in order to back the parties in their efforts to restore peace and to achieve national reconciliation in the country in the spirit of the "Acordos de Paz", of the Lusaka Protocol and of the relevant resolutions of the Security Council. We deplore the delay in the implementation of the Lusaka Protocol and hope that the remaining military and police observers authorized in the framework of UNAVEM. II will soon be deployed in order to help monitor respect for the cease-fire.”

“However late it was in emerging, the example of Angola will remain memorable in the annals of African history and of United Nations diplomatic history, much to the joy and happiness of the Angolan people and of the international community. The immensity of the task of national reconstruction for the socio-economic development of Angola requires the mobilization of multifaceted assistance from the international community for that country. The delegation of Rwanda hopes that the arms merchants who, from near or far, contributed to the destruction of Angola will become builders of its reconstruction and socio-economic development. It is also to be hoped that the international community will step up its humanitarian assistance, which will then quickly become development assistance for the socio-economic recovery of Angola.”

“The rebuilding and the socio-economic development of Angola can never succeed on territory said to hold the world's greatest concentration of land-mines. The Rwandese delegation therefore hopes for the very rapid deployment of UNAVEM. III, which can hasten mine-clearance, and the demobilization and socio-professional reintegration of UNITA troops not retained in the national army. Now that the hour of national reconstruction and of the strengthening of democracy has come in Angola, the delegation of Rwanda wishes to commend all those vital forces that are writing a glorious page in the history of modern Africa by putting an end to a 20-year-long fratricidal war.”

“The whole world now sees the signing of the Lusaka Protocol as the keystone of the Angolan peace process. At a time when the international community has taken regretful note of the fact that the majority of least- developed countries and many of the world's conflicts are to be found in Africa, the delegation of Rwanda welcomes the positive developments in the political situation in southern Africa: in Pretoria, Maputo and Luanda. In the case of Angola, we welcome the prospect of a meeting between President Jose Eduardo dos Santos and Mr. Jonas Savimbi, a historic meeting that will affect the future of peace in a country that had long been a victim of the East-West conflict, conducted through African proxies. That situation was confirmation of the African saying that when elephants clash, it is the grass that suffers.”

“We note with pleasure the international community's relief at the positive outcome of the peace process, a process long hampered by stumbling blocks that nearly discouraged the architects of national reconciliation in Angola. The brother African country of Angola, long the victim of an unrelenting civil war and of enormously lethal events, has just provided eloquent proof that it is always possible to reconcile warring brothers who want to bury the hatchet the better to work together to build a peaceful, democratic and prosperous nation. In that context, my delegation pays tribute to the leaders of the Angolan Government and of UNITA for their clear-sightedness, courage and ability to compromise, which led to the "Acordos de Paz" and to the signing of the Lusaka Protocol.”

“That is why we are convinced that, with adequate material and financial support, the OAU can be an African tool with a role complementing that of the organs of the United Nations. In the historic record of cooperation between the United Nations - in this case the Security Council - and the Organization of African Unity, 8 February 1995 will stand as a memorable date for present and future generations because of its special mark on the peace process in Angola. The historic content of the report before the Council enables the delegation of Rwanda to feel the steady wind of optimism wafting over Angola and over the Council's work on this item since the adoption of resolution 966 (1994) on 8 December 1994.”

We warmly welcome the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Angola as the Council considers the question of his country. The delegation of Rwanda also welcomes the members of the ministerial delegation dispatched by the Organization of African Unity (OAU) on this day, 8 February 1995. The Government of Rwanda knows the importance of OAU involvement in the settlement of regional conflicts in Africa. My Government appreciates the key role of that organization in negotiations between the various conflicting parties in Rwanda.”

We are convinced that his wisdom and competence will ensure that the work of the Council yields fruitful and positive results. My delegation assures you of its full cooperation. We wish also to congratulate the previous President, the Ambassador of Argentina, on the way in which he conducted the work of the Council in January.

“Unfortunately, now that the others have become developed, they not merely have forgotten to hold out their hands to Haiti, but are actually exploiting it. That is why what this Organization now calls "preventive diplomacy" should, for Haiti as for Rwanda, be a diplomacy that takes the form of multifaceted assistance from the international community to promote economic growth, which is the very basis of peace and lasting democracy. We hope that Haiti's major neighbours in the Organization of American States will continuously and increasingly help to relaunch the Haitian economy. In view of all I have said and in view of the solidarity of countries that have suffered so much from injustice, the Rwandan delegation is very pleased to be a co-sponsor of the draft resolution on Haiti and will vote in favour of it.”

“The Rwandan delegation welcomes with great satisfaction the secure and stable climate that now exists in Haiti, for which we can in large measure thank the Multinational Force. Nevertheless, we have to deplore certain temporary difficulties, which somewhat tarnish the bright picture of the future. At a time when the international community is concerned to uphold Haiti in its efforts to consolidate its democratic underpinnings, the Rwandan delegation expresses the hope that socio-economic development in that country will be the keystone of all the achievements which they are planning for the short and medium term. We need hardly dwell at length on peace, democracy and development, the three pillars of economic prosperity for any country. The Republic of Haiti was among the first republics in the northern hemisphere.”

Having read the various reports and recommendations, we are very pleased to learn that a secure and stable climate prevails in that Republic, the victim of so many years of civilian and military dictatorship. With the return to power of His Excellency Mr. Jean-Bertrand Aristide, we rejoice that a new era of peace, tolerance and democracy has emerged from the turmoil of Haitian history to reward the efforts of the Haitian people and the international community in their quest for lasting peace in that country.”

“As a gesture of solidarity and cooperation, my delegation voted in favour of the extension of UNOMIL's mandate until 13 April 1995. but we promise the Council that we will return to this matter at an appropriate moment.

“In the case of Liberia, the decision to extend the presence of UNOMIL's peace forces by three months has not been taken for the good of the population but is, instead, a solution based on a strategy of threatening the parties to the conflicts. Africa is going through a period of crisis and its effects are not felt by just one country. At the same time, Africa is at a stage of advanced marginalization in many spheres as compared to the rest of the world. The search for solutions to conflicts like the one in Liberia should not be limited to a three-month period. Only a process, a slow path, can lead to consensus by all parties concerned. This is evidenced by the fact that in other regions of the world the Council has acted differently.”

“At this time when the peace process in Liberia is proceeding in fits and starts and therefore dampening the international community's optimism, the delegation of Rwanda believes the Accra Agreement to be an oasis of hope in a desert almost totally devoid of peace. My delegation nevertheless deplores a widespread attitude in the Security Council vis-a-vis the resolution of African conflicts. It became clear in 1994 alone that in some cases the withdrawal of troops led to massacres. In the case of another African country, the decision by the United Nations to disengage its forces was not the best solution for the people of that country who were victims of warlords.”

In regard to the Liberian conflict and its disastrous effects on neighbouring countries, the delegation of Rwanda deplores the deterioration of the situation in Liberia caused by the non-compliance with the letter of the Cotonou and Accra agreements signed in 1993 and 1994.”
