“At the same time, these are a useful instrument available to the international community. Sanctions, even if because of their stigmatizing, can prevent or postpone the use of a more serious measure: military force, which we should turn to only as a last resort. Therefore, economic sanctions must be used as a flexible instrument that is adapted to a particular situation and that can be adjusted when the political objectives established by the Council are attained. The management of sanctions always requires a difficult combination of prudence, reasonableness and firmness. To be effective they must be rigorously precise and meticulously customized so as to reduce the possibility of causing unnecessary damage and of building up the resistance of those on whom they are imposed.”

“On the one hand, sanctions were improved step by step, in so far as that was possible without losing their effectiveness, in order to try to focus them on those responsible in the de facto Government. At the same time, effective measures were planned to control the impact on the humanitarian situation and assure the supply of food and medicine. The Argentine Republic believes that sanctions should be resorted to in exceptional cases and should be interpreted narrowly, for they are an instrument of deterrence or coercion, not a penalty. It is time to review the procedures of the Sanctions Committees and the processes involved in renewing sanctions. We should consider periodically reviewing the various sanctions regimes in order to bring them into line with the conflicts that initiated them.”

“I shall now refer briefly to economic sanctions, an instrument almost as old as international relations themselves, since Pericles himself, in 432 BC, first used them, in his memorable Megaria decree. The main thing to remember is that they are specifically to be found in Article 41 of the Charter as an instrument available to the Security Council. They have sometimes been used successfully, as in the case of the former Southern Rhodesia and later with regard to South Africa. However, since 1990 economic sanctions have been imposed repeatedly by the Security Council in various forms, and recent experience has shown, as the Secretary-General suggests in his report, that there must be an in-depth re- examination of the way in which the sanctions have been applied. The case of Haiti, inter alia, is an example.”

“The Congress of the nation approved the Treaty in law 24.448, and the ratification instruments are now being deposited. My delegation fully agrees with the general guidelines laid down by the Secretary-General regarding "micro- disarmament". This can play a central role in the prevention of many conflicts. We are convinced that the proliferation of light weapons throughout the world and the illegal traffic in them are a complex challenge that must be faced immediately by the international community. Regarding the proliferation of anti-personnel mines, we would like to repeat that my country, sharing the growing concern of the international community, has declared a five-year moratorium on their export, sale and transfer. We therefore support the establishment of a permanent regime to eliminate these weapons.”

“The same applies to the ability of regional bodies to react; the resources and information available to them; and the duration of the crisis, depending on the sphere it occurs in. As regards disarmament, my delegation would like to make a few brief comments. Argentina believes that since the Summit meeting of the Security Council on 31 January 1992 significant progress has been made in the area of non- proliferation, disarmament and arms control. It is time to reaffirm that the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction is a threat to international peace and security, which falls under the jurisdiction of this Council. The Government of Argentina attaches special importance to the 1995 Conference on the review and extension of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.”

“We are convinced that these principles must be evaluated and applied on a case-by-case basis, since the subjects of this cooperation may be extremely diverse, depending on circumstances, as we have seen. If a conflict is subject to direct action by the Council, it is evident that the most important part of the management of the conflict rests with the Council itself, and that the assignment of tasks and the division and coordination of work and responsibilities all fall within the scope of Security Council decisions. We must bear in mind the - at times - scant similarity between the procedures of the political bodies of different international organizations, and attempt to make them compatible.”

“In the post-conflict period much valuable experience has been acquired recently, experience upon which much can be built. As regards cooperation and coordination between the United Nations and regional organizations, since the Agenda for Peace was first circulated there have been a number of instances of tasks being divided between our Organization and regional organizations of various levels and types. Although it is not a matter now of drawing up a balance sheet, we would say that on the whole the results have been positive, and we should encourage the continuation and strengthening of these experiences. We do not want to lay down strict guidelines for the modalities of such cooperation, although - just as an indication - we regard as relevant the principles set forth by the Secretary- General in paragraph 86 of his Supplement.”

“At the same time, we would like to refer to the potential of the General Assembly's recent resolution 49/139 B, regarding the participation of "White Helmets", volunteers in United Nations activities in the area of humanitarian assistance. This is on the understanding that this initiative will make it possible to channel into peace- keeping efforts all the energy that can be mobilized in the private sector. We are anxiously awaiting proposals that have been requested of the Secretary-General regarding the implementation of this mechanism. Finally, we would like to mention the excellent experience accumulated over the past few years regarding assistance in electoral processes. This has allowed conflicts that otherwise might have dragged on to be resolved harmoniously.”

“Depending on circumstances, this could involve assigning technical, economic and financial assistance tasks at various levels: development of the institutions indispensable to the functioning of democracy; respect for human rights; and tasks related to health, education, the environment and justice, when related to peace-building. In this connection, at the initiative of our country, the Executive Board of UNDP raised the indicative planning figure for Haiti to the level it was at before the recent budgetary cut of 30 per cent which affected all Member States. This is just one example, in our view, of how economic and political decisions complement each other. This is an example of the consistency needed within the framework of a strategy for sustainable human development in the post-conflict stage.”

“The medium- and long- term consolidation of ongoing military efforts will depend on successful reconstruction or rehabilitation. We must be able to count on having the necessary resources and be sure that maximum use can be made of them. One example is the central role played by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in the Haitian crisis, when, on President Aristide's return, it was able to resume its activities in that country. It is now in charge of the coordination and promotion of all multilateral technical assistance and of most bilateral assistance in this new stage of the restoration of democracy.”

“As regards reserve or stand-by forces, the Argentine Republic was one of the first countries to receive the Secretary-General's Mission charged with dealing with this question, and we were also one of the first 35 Member States explicitly to commit resources and units to this end. As to the proposal to create a rapid reaction force, which would be a kind of strategic reserve for the Security Council, we believe that this is an interesting initiative and one that deserves careful study in all its aspects, without ruling out components of a policing nature that could be incorporated into it. Let us now turn to the chapter on post-conflict peace- building. It must be understood that after every conflict there are socio-economic and humanitarian questions that must be tackled or resolved if there is to be a lasting peace.”

“Governments of countries that, with the nobility that this requires, are contributing troops to the United Nations, have the right and the responsibility to be heard and to be informed, on a regular basis, of the military and political developments relating to the operation in which they are taking part. They must be able at all times to report to their people on the progress of their respective operations. Unity in the chain of command is undoubtedly another fundamental principle in ensuring the success of these peace-keeping undertakings. The importance of this question increases in direct proportion to the dangers or the risks posed by the tasks being undertaken.”

“The Charter of the United Nations, in Article 41, confers primary responsibility - I repeat: primary responsibility - on the Security Council for the maintenance of international peace and security. It makes it clear that the action expected from this body must be rapid and effective. This is stated expressly. The very nature of the Council's delicate mission requires this, but there can be no rapidity or effectiveness if there is no coordination. That is why the constant, ongoing flow of information is, I repeat, indispensable for the collegial efforts of the Security Council. We would also emphasize the systematic implementation of consultations between the Security Council, the troop-contributing countries and the Secretariat - which, indeed, is already part of the routine of our Organization.”

“But improvements can always be made. In particular, horizontal sharing of information with all delegations, in time, is indispensable, in respect of political decision-making by the Security Council. Here I should like to point out that the Security Council is not discharging all its responsibilities in the decisions to start or conclude peace-keeping operations. We must not fall into the habit of becoming involved in details. We must be properly and constantly informed about the development of peace-keeping operations, specifically those that, because of their scope and complexity, are mutifaceted or require the participation of large contingents of personnel, exposed to changing circumstances and, frequently, danger.”

“But if there is not strict and sacred adherence to them, we shall lose from sight the minimum flexibility that is indispensable to saving or protecting lives, particularly of civilians or of those who generously expose themselves to danger so that our Organization can accomplish its mission or so that humanitarian assistance can be given to those who are suffering the consequences of war. We must express all our appreciation and gratitude for the work that has been done and the efforts that have been exerted. We agree that during these critical times we cannot, generally speaking, impose peace-keeping operations. These are technical alternatives, measures of last resort, after all other efforts have failed. We believe that the mechanism for consultation between the Security Council and the Secretariat is flexible.”

“We believe that at a later stage it might be appropriate to have a specific heading in the budget for activities related to preventive diplomacy. But, of course, we do not want in that way to reduce funds that are allocated today to social activities or activities related to the promotion of development. With regard to the maintenance of peace, the categorical restatement of the traditional philosophy in the matter is of transcendental importance. The logic of peace has a price. It is clear today that to forget or overlook this not only places us on the wrong path, but is also dangerous. Consent of the parties, impartiality, non-use of force: these are the three central pillars of this traditional philosophy.”

“Sometimes, regrettably, egotism, distrust or petty or transitory interests make people reluctant today to request or accept the helpful collaboration of our Organization. Nevertheless, without the assent of the contending parties, there is very little, strictly speaking, that the United Nations can do to prevent conflicts. That is why we would encourage the Secretary-General to persevere on the path initiated by this chapter, despite the difficulties or obstacles he may face. In this connection, we would like to refer to the financial solutions that have been proposed, in particular those for small field missions - small in size but with a usefulness that would be far from small. As a preliminary view, we are inclined to choose the option of using for preventive diplomacy existing credits for unforeseen and extraordinary activities.”

“But we have the sad feeling that, despite that categorical and accurate affirmation, we have strayed from the path to civilization. We must immediately undertake the effort to redress this situation. We are particularly pleased with chapter III of the Secretary-General's paper, on the instruments for the promotion of peace and security. With regard to preventive diplomacy, we would point to the efforts and progress during the past few years. The restructuring of the Department of Political Affairs has been quite wise. It is now possible to follow up more closely and thoroughly the tensions that could lead to regional or international crises. It is always wiser to prevent or stop conflicts before they break out. But, generally speaking, this is also the best way to make use of the meagre resources available.”

“Otherwise, there might be some doubt about the maturity of the commitment of Member States to the Organization. We shall revert to this matter later. We are concerned at the Secretary-General's reference, in regard to the new types of intra-State conflicts with which our Organization has to deal, as firmly as is required, to the fact that "Civilians are the main victims and often the main targets". (S/1995/l, para. 12) This is a clarion call. It cannot be ignored, because what is involved is the direct defence of the human being and his dignity. The international community cannot remain indifferent to the magnitude of the problem set out by the Secretary-General, which is at the very centre of humanitarian law.”

“This is aptly described in chapter II of his report, relating to the quantitative and qualitative changes that have taken place since the end of the cold war. But we would point that there is a difference between a disorderly transition and a the well-thought-out transition that is advocated. It is the same kind of difference that there is between lightning and a lamp: both shed light, but the former is ephemeral, dangerous and not very trustworthy, whereas the latter is constant, safe, and definitely predictable. That is why the message sent us by the Secretary-General is so opportune. That is also why there is a need for this debate that is now beginning, on his initiative. It is also quite true that we must adopt decisions - some of them perhaps difficult; but that is usually the way it is.”

“Nevertheless, my delegation attributes special importance to this meeting, because we believe that the opportunity to hear the opinion of Member States, especially those that are now members of the Security Council, is an exercise that will be of benefit to all. On this occasion we should like to express our preliminary views on some of the many questions referred to by the Secretary-General. We do not intend to make an exhaustive analysis or to deal with all the subjects referred to in the report. Throughout this exercise that is beginning today we shall have ample time and opportunity to do that. We should, however, like to refer to some questions that we feel lend themselves particularly to some comments now. It is true that, as the Secretary-General says, we are in a time of transition.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of the Argentine Republic. My delegation thanks the Secretary-General for preparing and submitting the position paper in document S/ 1995/ 1, entitled "Supplement to An Agenda for Peace". This document is as opportune as it is well thought out. It is as stimulating as it is thought-provoking. It is just the kind of document that we need during this transitional period, when it is wise for us to stop - despite the urgency - and think about results and experiences, and thereby affirm or correct our course. As is clear from today's meeting, the Security Council is beginning a task of discussion and analysis which will take some time, following the procedures of the Council in this respect, and which we hope will result in the necessary definitions and adjustments.”
