  1. “They are also obliged to facilitate humanitarian and military demining efforts by providing detailed maps and other relevant information on those mines that have already been laid by them and by contributing financially or otherwise to their removal. "5. The international community should intensify, multilaterally or bilaterally, its efforts in assisting those parties to a conflict which have shown their readiness to cooperate with mine clearance, mine awareness and training programmes in the context of United Nations peace-keeping operations. In this connection, the Council welcomes the establishment by the Secretary-General of a United Nations Voluntary Trust Fund for Demining as a necessary and timely mechanism to channel funding to humanitarian demining operations.”

  2. “With particular reference to paragraph 51 of the report of the Special Committee on Peace-keeping Operations of 7 May 1996 (A/S l/ 130), the Council requests the Secretary-General to intensify his efforts aiming in this direction. "The Security Council emphasizes the importance of coordination by the United Nations of activities related to mine clearance in the context of United Nations peace-keeping, including those by Regional Organizations, in particular in the areas of information and training. "4. The primary responsibility for demining in the context of United Nations peace-keeping lies with parties responsible for the laying of mines. Parties to a conflict must desist from further mine laying once a peace-keeping operation is established.”

  3. “The Council is, however, aware of linkages and complementarities between different elements of conflict resolution as well as of the need to ensure a smooth transition from demining as a peace- keeping requirement to demining as part of peace- building in a follow-up phase. "The Security Council, thus, is of the opinion that coordination and a clear delineation of responsibilities between the two Departments as well as with regard to other United Nations agencies dealing with demining could be further improved so as to avoid duplication of effort and to guarantee a coherent and integrated approach towards the whole range of short and long-term demining needs.”

  4. “The Council encourages the Special Committee on Peace-keeping Operations to examine options for achieving such early deployment. It also encourages Member States to examine whether and in what form they might be able to help in this respect. "3. The tasks of, on the one hand, operational mine clearance during peace-keeping operations, which is the responsibility of the Department of Peace-keeping Operations, and, on the other hand, longer-term humanitarian mine-clearance activities, which fall under the responsibility of the Department of Humanitarian Affairs, are different.”

  5. “"The Security Council, bearing in mind its responsibilities with regard to United Nations peace- keeping, notes that the widespread indiscriminate use of anti-personnel mines in areas of United Nations peace-keeping operations poses serious impediments to such operations and to the safety of United Nations and other international personnel. Against this background, the Council states the following: "1. Operational demining should be, wherever appropriate, an important element and an integral part of peace-keeping mandates. This will facilitate the implementation of those mandates and better enable the Secretary-General to allocate appropriate resources towards achieving their objectives. "2. The early deployment of mine-clearance units will often be important to the effectiveness of a peace-keeping operation.”

  6. “The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Security Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations. Following consultations among members of the Security Council, I have been authorized to make the following statement on behalf of the Council: "The Security Council has reviewed the issue of demining in the context of United Nations peace- keeping and has given careful consideration to the views expressed in the open debate under the item 'Demining in the context of United Nations peace- keeping' in its 3689th meeting on 15 August 1996.”

  8. “Germany has in the past significantly contributed, at both the bilateral and multilateral levels, to the improvement of the humanitarian situation in Burundi and that of the Burundian refugees in the Great Lakes region. It stands ready to support further Burundi's recovery efforts, once the necessary national reconciliation is embarked upon. The Security Council is currently seized of the situation in Burundi. The German delegation will continue to contribute constructively to the drafting of a Security Council resolution on Burundi. It is our hope that the discussion on the imposition of further measures by the Security Council will become obsolete as we see progress in the development of the situation on the ground. I now resume my function as President of the Council.”

  9. “We welcome the recent publication of the final report of the International Commission of Inquiry concerning the assassination of the President of Burundi on 21 October 1993 and the massacres that followed. We hope that this can be a contribution to overcoming the present state of impunity in Burundi, which has been described in the latest report of the Secretary-General as poisoning human relations and paralysing all initiatives to lift the country out of chaos. I also wish to reiterate the importance we attach to the renewed deployment throughout the country, as soon as possible, of human rights observers, which have so far been funded by the European Commission.”

  10. “We specifically support their call on the Bujumbura regime to immediately restore the National Assembly, lift the ban on political parties and undertake negotiations with all the parties to the conflict. We also wish to take this opportunity to reiterate the importance we attach to the prompt and satisfactory resolution of the situation of those who have sought protection in our and other foreign missions in Bujumbura. The sanctions imposed by the regional leaders should not, as the Secretary-General rightly mentioned, be seen as an instrument of punishment. They are a means to an end. On the other hand, they should not be allowed to add to the hardship of the suffering people in Burundi. We therefore welcome the efforts to formulate specific exemptions to the sanctions regime for humanitarian purposes.”

  11. “We have taken note with interest of recent indications that political and faction leaders in Burundi might have expressed themselves accordingly. Germany considers it essential that a dialogue be organized without delay that would bring together all of Burundi's political forces without exception, including representatives of civil society, in order to find a negotiated consensus solution to the crisis in Burundi, ensuring security for all. In this context, we wish to express our support for the efforts of the regional leaders, and in particular for those of former President Julius Nyerere, to facilitate the search for a political solution to the crisis in Burundi.”

  12. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Germany. At the outset, I wish to point out that Germany fully supports the statement made by the representative of Ireland on behalf of the European Union. The situation in Burundi remains a matter of deep concern to us. We remain, in particular, deeply disturbed by reports of massacres of civilians, which seem to continue unabated in Burundi. The violence in Burundi must stop. We are also concerned with regard to the implications of the internal crisis in Burundi for peace and security in the already troubled Great Lakes region. The Secretary-General stresses in his recent report that the conflict in Burundi is not susceptible to a military solution. We share this view.”

  26. “The denial by Iraq, on repeated occasions, of immediate, unconditional and unrestricted access to sites which they wished to inspect and the attempts made by the Government of Iraq to impose conditions on the conduct of interviews with Iraqi officials by the Special Commission constitute a gross violation of its obligations under resolutions 687 (1991), 707 (1991) and 715 (1991). The Council notes that these actions also contradict commitments made by the Government of Iraq in its Joint Statement of 22 June 1996 with the Special Commission, and urges the Government of Iraq to respect these commitments.”

  30. “Twice the Security Council has adopted resolutions asking for the extradition of the suspects and calling upon the Sudanese Government to desist from any kind of support for terrorist activities. The decision on further sanctions is not an easy one. As we stated earlier, the purpose of sanctions should not be punishment. The sanctions are aiming at those who are in a position to take the required measures. The sanctions should not bring unnecessary suffering to the civilian population. Sudan is given another 90 days to comply with these resolutions. Now it is up to Sudan to show that its words are followed by deeds.”

Once again we are dealing with the very serious matter of the attempted assassination of the President of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak, on 26 June of last year. My Government's position on terrorism has been pointed out clearly: we will not give in to terrorism; we have to fight it. Those who have committed terrorist acts have to be brought to justice. Those who have supported terrorists have to bear the consequences. On several occasions the Council has discussed this matter and urged the Government of Sudan to comply with the requests of the Organization of African Unity (OAU).”
