1. “We ascribe the utmost importance to the need to implement the resolutions adopted by the Council in this respect. We have been following the various reports of the Secretariat on the status of the implementation by Iraq of the resolutions on sanctions. While we have taken note of reports on Iraq's partial implementation of certain aspects of the resolutions, we regret to say that, in general, that country has fallen short of complying fully with the Council's decisions. Your assessment, Sir, of the status of the implementation of Security Council decisions is a clear demonstration of Traq's failure to comply fully with the Council's resolutions. We fully share your assessment, and would like to appeal to the Government of Iraq to be more forthcoming in its acceptance and compliance with the relevant Security Council decisions.”

2. “That is why we strongly condemned the invasion of Kuwait last year and shared the international community's outrage at Iraq's unprovoked aggression against that defenceless small country. As a consequence of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, which caused damage to the country and loss of life and property to the population of Kuwait and which posed a threat to security in the area, the Council adopted a series of resolutions imposing sanctions against Iraq and prescribing measures to reverse the aggression and redress the damages and pain that had been caused. We believe that this Council, in imposing sanctions against Irag, took a position proper and adequate to reestablish the peace and security of Kuwait and to impose respect for the rule of law, in accordance with the United Nations Charter.”

3. “Mr, BARBOSA (Cape Verde): I would like to start, Sir, by congratulating you on your assumption of the Council presidency. I am sure that during your mandate much will be accomplished by the Council under your skilful leadership. I would like to convey my congratulations to your predecessor, Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering, for the very able and efficient manner in which he conducted the deliberations of the Council last month. Cape Verde strongly believes in the principles of the peaceful settlement of disputes and the non-use of force in international relations. As a small country, we are very much against any violation of those principles and against the violation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of any country.”
