“It has been nearly 10 years since the terrorist bombing of Pan Am flight 103. Since that terrible day in December 1988, the United States, the United Kingdom, the surviving family members and the world community have suffered the frustration of a long, complex investigation and an even longer period of delay and equivocation by the Government of Libya. This draft resolution spells out exactly what Libya must do and notes the Security Council's intention to consider further measures if the two suspects do not appear for trial promptly. We expect Libya to take the necessary steps so that the trial can proceed without further delay. The international community and the families of the victims have waited long enough.”

“We now call upon those nations and organizations, in turn, to urge Libya in the strongest terms to turn over the two defendants for trial without delay. Just as we will be watching Libya's response to this draft resolution, we will be carefully gauging the response of those nations and those organizations. we expect unhesitating and unequivocal support for this draft resolution. The victims of the Pan Am flight 103 bombing and their surviving family members deserve nothing less. I would also reaffirm United States support for France in its ongoing investigation of the UTA bombing. As we look forward to convening the trial of the Pan Am flight 103 defendants, we will continue to support France's demand for Libya's full cooperation on the question of UTA flight 772.”

“Failure by Libya to act promptly to ensure the appearance of the defendants would be a monumental breach of faith which would compel the Security Council to act appropriately in response. We hope that will not be necessary. In recent years, a number of nations and regional Organizations - including the Arab League, the Organization of African Unity, the Organization of the Islamic Conference and the Non-Aligned Movement, which is about to convene an important summit conference in South Africa - have endorsed exactly the sort of arrangements contained in this draft resolution. They have urged the United States and the United Kingdom to adopt this approach. We have listened to their views and responded.”

“For Libya, dealing positively with this draft resolution can mean one thing and one thing alone: ensuring that the two suspects appear to stand trial in the Netherlands without delay. The international community has heard the Libyan Government repeat, on numerous occasions, its explicit commitment to cooperating in bringing the defendants to trial under Scottish law, with Scottish judges, in a neutral third country. Senior Libyan officials have made that commitment on the record many times, including the Libyan Foreign Minister's personal pledge to this Council just last March. Now Libya will be required to live up to that pledge. The United States, the Security Council and the world community are watching. Most importantly, the family members of the 270 victims of the Pan Am flight 103 bombing are watching.”

“We deeply regret the hostile and negative content and tone of the Libyan representative's statement tonight. What we need now from the Libyans is not aggressive, equivocal or conditional statements, but simple, straightforward acceptance. Chapter VII resolutions are mandatory on all Member States, including Libya. We look now to the Libyan Government for prompt action. We expect its deeds to be the proof of its stated intentions. The Libyan representative raised a question as to whether the United States would feel bound by all the elements of this draft resolution. It goes without saying, but let me say it anyway: I can assure him that we do. Let us not mince words.”

“With the expected adoption of this draft resolution, the Security Council will take an important step towards obtaining a measure of justice for the victims of the Pan Am flight 103 bombing and their families. The arrangements endorsed in this draft resolution will assure a fair trial for the two Libyan suspects. The proceedings will be consistent with the requirements of United Nations resolutions as well as United States, British and Dutch law. The terms of the draft resolution and modalities of the trial have been carefully crafted by legal experts and are based on the decisions of the international community, as reflected in Security Council resolutions 731 (1992), 748 (1992) and 883 (1993). We thank the Government of the Netherlands for helping to bring about the arrangements endorsed in this draft resolution.”

“Indiscriminate violence, propaganda, forced conscription and the laying of new mines all undermine the peace process and spur even more violence. These activities must stop. The United States condemns in the strongest terms the perpetrators of the July massacre in Lunda Norte province. We are deeply concerned at recent reports of a similar loss of life in the province of Malange. MONUA must be permitted full and immediate access so that it can undertake its mandated verification activities. We also call upon the Government of Angola and UNITA to guarantee unconditionally the safety and freedom of movement of all United Nations and international personnel so that they can safely continue their vital work.”

“We look forward to an in-depth review of the future United Nations presence in Angola when the Secretary-General presents his recommendations to the Council at the end of the month. While the international community continues to demonstrate its commitment to assist the Angolan peace process, the responsibility for peace rests with Angolans themselves. We urge the Government of Angola and UNITA to respect fully and unconditionally the obligations they undertook when they signed the Lusaka Protocol. UNITA must demilitarize completely and cooperate in the immediate and unconditional extension of State administration throughout the national territory. The Government of Angola must respect and protect the rights of all Angolan citizens, as well as UNITA's legitimate role as a political party.”

“The peace process in Angola is at a critical stage. The deteriorating political and security situation in Angola calls for creative and constructive measures to bring about lasting peace. The United States welcomed the Secretary-General's decision to send a Special Envoy to Angola, and we are encouraged by the Special Envoy Brahimi's success in getting the Angolan parties to resume their dialogue and in the tentative forward movement in the peace process during and after his visit. We urge the parties to cooperate fully with the Secretary- General's new Special Representative to Angola, Mr. Diallo, to build on this momentum. Today, the United States will vote in favour of the draft resolution to extend the mandate of the United Nations Observer Mission in Angola (MONUA) until 15 September.”

“The incidents of 7 August underscore that terrorists know no boundaries and that the suppression of international terrorism and the arrest, conviction and punishment of its perpetrators are essential to the maintenance of international peace and security. The United States will not be intimidated by terrorism and will never forget its victims. We will spare no effort and use all the means at our disposal to track down and punish the perpetrators of these outrageous acts. We call upon all Member States to support the ongoing investigations and to apprehend the perpetrators if found on their territory, as called for in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Internationally Protected Persons.”

“On this sorrowful occasion, the United States is honoured to join with the Governments of Kenya and the United Republic of Tanzania in introducing this resolution on the tragic and indiscriminate terrorist bombings at the American embassies in Nairobi and Dar-es-Salaam. President Clinton and Secretary Albright have conveyed the condolences of the people of the United States to the families and loved ones of the hundreds who lost their lives and the thousands who were injured in both Kenya and Tanzania in these cowardly terrorist acts. To the Governments of Kenya and the United Republic of Tanzania, we have offered the support of the United States in dealing with this tragedy, meeting their needs and working jointly and cooperatively with them to find the perpetrators.”

“The nationwide elections scheduled for September 1998 provide an opportunity for the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina to exercise their democratic right to vote in support of Bosnia's future and to reject the politics of the past. With new and courageous leadership committed to the ideals and principles enunciated in Dayton, Bosnia can look forward to a future of peace and prosperity. In voting in favour of this draft resolution, the United States reaffirms its commitment to consolidating peace in Bosnia and to the international community's efforts to help the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina build a secure and democratic society.”

“We will continue to press for accelerated returns of the remaining refugees and displaced persons, particularly to areas where they are in the ethnic minority. This process is slow, complex and often dangerous, but the goal of minority returns can be achieved. We particularly welcome the creation within SFOR of a multinational specialized unit, to be led by Italy, which will enhance SFOR's ability to support the local authorities in responding to civil disorder. This, in turn, will assist in the return of refugees and displaced persons, as well as in the installation of elected officials. There have been many achievements in the past year, particularly the successful holding of municipal elections and the installation of democratically elected local officials in all but one of the 136 municipalities.”

“The political and economic influence of indicted war criminals in the Republika Srpska have been significantly reduced, and the State-run media have been restructured. The local police are now cooperating with IPTF restructuring and reform programmes, matching the progress already achieved in restructuring the Federation police forces. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, police restructuring and training - together with the issuance of new common licence plates - are facilitating freedom of movement across the inter-entity boundary line. There is a new Bosnian flag, and a new common passport has been issued. A provisional currency will begin to circulate very soon. Since the war ended, over 400,000 refugees and displaced persons have returned home, and 170,000 of those returned in 1997 alone.”

“Meeting the benchmarks will permit progressive reductions in the size and profile of the Force. We reiterate that the primary responsibility for the implementation of the Peace Agreement rests with the parties themselves. Bosnia and Herzegovina must take responsibility for its future and prepare to stand on its own. We call on all the parties to the Peace Agreement to redouble their efforts to implement the Agreement and abandon patterns of procrastination, obstructionism and minimal compliance with Dayton. Full cooperation with the International Tribunal, the return of refugees and the strengthening of joint institutions are key. Despite problems, there are hopeful signs. This is especially true since the election of moderate leadership in the Republika Srpska.”

“My Government would like to state once again its appreciation to the men and women who have served with SFOR and UNMIBH and to the Governments which have cooperated to make these operations successful. The United States also expresses its appreciation to the High Representative and his colleagues, as well as the representatives of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. We also recognize the critical role of the non-governmental organizations and private individuals who are working to consolidate the peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina and throughout the region. Much work remains, however, and this will take time. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has adopted a series of benchmarks to measure progress in the overall implementation of the Peace Agreement.”

“Today the Security Council is extending the authorization for the multinational Stabilization Force (SFOR) and the mandate of the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UNMIBH), including the International Police Task Force (IPTF). In so doing, the Council once again reaffirms the international community's commitment to help build a lasting peace in the former Yugoslavia. In the last two years, SFOR and UNMIBH have been critical to the implementation of the long-term process agreed by the parties in the Dayton/Paris accords. Today, war is a receding memory, but the peace remains fragile. SFOR and IPTF continue to provide the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the security and confidence they need to move forward in the difficult tasks which still lie ahead.”

“Unfortunately, as long as the Government of Iraq persists in its mistaken belief that it can defy the will of the international community and that of the Council, the sanctions must remain in place, and the United Nations will continue to bear the burden that the Iraqi Government has refused: caring for the welfare of the people of Iraq.”

“Let me remind everyone that resolution 986 (1995) was intended by the Security Council as a temporary measure to provide essential humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people, not as a vehicle to refurbish Iraq's economy. That will be possible only when the sanctions authorized by the Council are lifted. And that, in turn, will happen when Iraq complies fully and unconditionally with all relevant resolutions of the Council. It is sad that the Iraqi leaders have postponed that day for so long by consistently and flagrantly flouting their obligations under the resolutions, obligations that they themselves agreed to under the terms of the Gulf War ceasefire.”

“We must make certain that the other commitments Iraq agreed to when it accepted resolution 986 (1995) - for example, paying a certain percentage of oil revenues to fund the United Nations Special Commission, the United Nations Compensation Commission, and other important functions - are honoured. We must make certain that the sanctions Committee acts quickly yet responsibly to approve contracts in a manner consistent with the intent of this and other relevant resolutions. And we must wait until we have more and better information before authorizing any oil infrastructure improvements under this resolution, and do so only after careful consideration on the basis of the Secretary-General's forthcoming report and of the humanitarian objectives of this resolution.”

“We must give the Secretary-General our strong support and clear guidance as he implements this massive programme, including a significant expansion of the United Nations observation and monitoring function in Iraq. We must make certain that food and medicine, and infrastructure improvements directly related to their distribution, remain the top priorities under this new resolution. Nothing is more important to the basic welfare of Iraqi citizens. We must make certain that the goods imported into Iraq under this resolution are carefully observed and monitored so that they cannot be diverted to military purposes or used for the personal benefit of the Iraqi leadership.”

“The use of one's own resources to help one's own people is a basic moral obligation that should form the cornerstone of a responsible Government's response to real humanitarian needs. Iraq's failure to provide information for the Secretary-General's report and its failure to commit its own resources to support his humanitarian recommendations are telling reminders of the Iraqi Government's true attitude toward the plight of its people. That is why the United States stands ready to work closely with other members of this Council to ensure that this resolution works as intended - works not for the benefit of the Iraqi regime, but for the welfare of ordinary people in Iraq.”

“And after the Council extended the 986 programme twice in 1997, the Iraqi Government twice delayed new oil sales under the resolution, needlessly slowing the delivery of humanitarian goods and forcing the Council to adopt resolution 1129 (1997) to avoid further deterioration of the humanitarian situation. Indeed, Iraq refused even to provide input to the Secretary-General' s report, a report intended to provide to the Council recommendations on ways to improve the delivery and increase the supply of humanitarian goods to Iraq. On 5 February Iraq sent its official observations on the Secretary-General's report, in which it rejected many of his proposals and recommendations. Most notably, it rejected his call for an ongoing distribution plan and his practical expectation that Iraq would contribute local resources to infrastructure projects.”

“We favoured an increase in the dollar amount of oil sales permitted under the programme in order to finance the importation of additional humanitarian goods. We believe that expanding the scope of the programme is desirable and in fact essential to its humanitarian goals. Our position and that of all the other members of the Council stands in stark contrast to the policies of Iraq's leadership. While Iraqi children have gone hungry, Saddam Hussein has diverted scarce resources to build more palaces and weapons of mass destruction. While Iraq has ceaselessly complained about delays in the sanctions Committee, it has submitted hundreds of 986 contracts that fail to meet the criteria and procedures that Iraq agreed to with the United Nations Secretariat and has routinely stooped to political favouritism in the 986 contracting process.”

“The United States is proud to cast its vote today in favour of this draft resolution to expand the 986 humanitarian programme in Iraq. It is, quite simply, the largest United-Nations- sanctioned humanitarian programme in the history of the Organization. As such, it is a concrete demonstration that the United Nations, and in particular the members of this Council, remains committed to meeting the essential humanitarian needs of all of Iraq's people. Let me make our position very clear. The United States is deeply concerned about the welfare of the Iraqi people and we want to do everything we can to make sure their basic needs are met. For that reason, we welcomed the Secretary-General's recommendations. We strongly supported expansion of the 986 programme to make it more effective and more efficient.”

“As the Secretary-General's report makes clear, we must not close our eyes to the problems that persist. The efforts of the international community come against a backdrop of deep division within Haiti over the course and the pace of political and economic change. There, as elsewhere, democracy remains a work in progress. If the Haitian people are to see a brighter future, they must receive the necessary tools and assistance from the international community. Creation of MIPONUH will do just that, and for that reason the United States strongly supports its establishment.”

“The many nations that have participated in UNTMIH's work can take pride in their accomplishment. My Government remains committed to supporting peaceful political and economic development in Haiti. To this end, we are providing helicopters, a medical unit and up to 50 civilian police for MIPONUH, in addition to nearly $100 million in bilateral economic assistance this year. We will also consider other ways to support MIPONUH. The Government of Haiti is fast approaching full responsibility for public safety. But despite the progress, obstacles remain. The Haitian National Police still needs help in dealing with ruthless gangs, drug traffickers and political groups that seek to manipulate the police for their own ends. The presence of a civilian police mission will allow Haiti's police to continue its growth in competence for another year.”

“Today, the Haitian National Police includes over 6,000 officers who are present in all nine of Haiti's provinces. At the request of President Rene Preval and at the recommendation of the Secretary-General, we act today to ensure its further development. The continued growth of the Haitian National Police from a few young and inexperienced recruits to an effective, independent police force is crucial to Haiti's future. The creation of the United Nations Civilian Police Mission in Haiti (MIPONUH) to assist in mentoring and training the Haitian National Police will build upon a process already well begun. My Government commends all those who have contributed to MIPONUH's predecessor, UNTMIH, particularly the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Ambassador Enrique ter Horst.”

“Over the last three years the Government and people of Haiti have made progress in building an inclusive and representative democracy. Institutions such as the Haitian Parliament and municipal governments have developed into independent bodies. Political violence no longer threatens Haitians in their daily lives, and today Haiti enjoys a free press. Fundamental economic reforms are beginning, including the first privatization of a State-owned industry. In short, the foundation for broad-based growth is being laid. The United Nations - through the United Nations Transition Mission in Haiti (UNTMIH), the United Nations Development Programme and the International Civilian Mission in Haiti - is playing an essential role in this process. As a sign of the progress to date, the remaining United Nations military element can be withdrawn.”

“We understand Angola's legitimate security concerns in Cabinda and its frustration over assistance provided by the Republic of the Congo to UNITA in contravention of existing United Nations sanctions. But military intervention is not an acceptable response. We condemn this intervention and demand that the Government of Angola immediately withdraw its forces. The Foreign Minister of Angola has made a public commitment to do so by 15 November. We expect this commitment to be honoured. We also demand that mercenaries and other armed groups, including UNITA, also withdraw immediately. The United States urges both the Government of Angola and UNITA to refocus their efforts on peaceful, rather than military, solutions to internal and regional problems.”

“However, there is a message in this draft resolution for the Government of Angola as well. This draft resolution calls on the Government to demonstrate restraint as it implements the final steps in the peace process. We believe that the peace process could be served by a meeting between President dos Santos and Mr. Savimbi within the territory of Angola. The United States and other members of the Council are gravely concerned by the Government of Angola's military intervention in the Republic of the Congo, which resulted in the overthrow of a democratically-elected President. This intervention is a violation of the Charters of the United Nations and the Organization of African Unity.”

“As Secretary of State Albright said during the ministerial session of the Security Council on 25 September, the United States believes this Council should penalize any party that fails to meet its obligations under the Lusaka Protocol. We therefore support the automatic entry into force of the sanctions specified in resolution 1127 (1997). We will vigorously enforce these new measures as well as those measures imposed by resolution 864 (1993). We call on all Member States to do the same. We hope that UN ITA will see the imposition of these measures as a sign of the international community's determination that UNITA move rapidly to complete the remaining tasks in the peace process. If it does so, the United States stands ready to reconsider the need for sanctions. The burden is on UNITA.”

“The Angolan parties must ensure that such incidents do not recur. A month ago the Council cautiously welcomed signs that UNITA was fulfilling its obligations in the peace process. To encourage the apparent momentum, the Council postponed the imposition of sanctions for 30 days. We all hoped that UNITA would use the time to take the steps necessary to complete the peace process. Throughout October the United States actively pressed Mr. Savimbi to meet UNITA's obligations under the Lusaka Protocol. Last Saturday Ambassador Richardson went to Bailundo to advise Mr. Savimbi that sanctions would go into effect if UNITA did not comply with resolution 1127 (1997). But UNITA did not comply. UNITA has even taken some backward steps, such as impeding the work of the administrators in areas recently transferred to Government control.”

“Today the United States will express its commitment to the peace process in Angola by voting to approve an extension of the mandate of the United Nations Observer Mission in Angola (MONUA). The leadership of the Secretary- General's Special Representative and the commitment of MONUA personnel and troop-contributing countries have been essential at each difficult step in the peace process. As MONUA completes its important tasks, the United States will support the withdrawal of its formed military umts. The United States was deeply disturbed by the ambush of MONUA personnel and several other people on 23 October. We express our condolences to the families of those who lost their lives serving the goal of peace, and demand that those responsible for the attack be brought to justice.”

“We welcome the decision of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), under its Partnership for Peace programme, to send an assessment team to Albania within the week. The recommendations of the team will be incorporated into long-term plans to rebuild Albania's security infrastructure within a democratic society. The crisis of recent months has precipitated a period of change in Albania. Much remains to be done, however. Difficult and painful reform lies ahead if Albania is to succeed in fostering political and social reconciliation, economic development, consolidation of a fully functioning and independent judiciary and electronic media, and the creation of active civil-society institutions. Finally, there must be a complete end to the pyramid schemes that have ravaged the country and deprived millions of their life savings.”

“We also welcome the results of the second international meeting on Albania, held at Rome on 31 July, which reaffirmed the commitment of the United States and our partners in the international community to aid Albania, but which also outlined the necessary fiscal and economic steps which must be taken to put Albanian on a sound economy footing. One of the most urgent tasks which Albania must address is the restoration of civil order and the creation of a viable security structure consistent with a democratic society. This task includes reconstruction of the Albanian armed forces and the training of a non-partisan professional police force. We applaud the decisions of countries to remain involved in assisting the Albanian military and police with bilateral training assistance following the departure of the multinational protection force.”

“I also wish to take this opportunity to emphasize the remarkable work of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), especially the role of the personal representative for Albania of the OSCE Chairman- in-Office, Mr. Franz Vranitzky, and his team. Their work was instrumental in helping to organize the holding of elections acceptable under the prevailing conditions, against tremendous odds. This was a crucial first step in creating viable institutions of democratic government in Albania. In the critical period ahead, the OSCE will remain the central coordinating body for international initiatives to assist the newly elected Government.”

“On behalf of my Government, I would like to join other members of the Council, the United Nations and the international community in expressing appreciation for the role of the multinational protection force, and in particular the leadership of Italy, in Albania during the past several months. The mission of the multinational protection force to facilitate the safe and prompt delivery of humanitarian assistance, protect international relief workers and help create a secure environment in which elections could be held has been by all accounts a success. In the wake of the tragic violence and loss of life in this recent period, we hope that Albania is at last on the road to stability, democracy, and an economy based on free-market principles.”
