7. “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 condemns the failure of Iraq to comply with its resolution 1060 (1996) of 12 June 1996 by refusing access to sites designated by the Special Commission on 13 June 1996. Coming after the denial of access on 11 and 12 June 1996, this new dimension of non-compliance marks a serious step backwards in Iraq's cooperation with the Special Commission. The Council considers that these events constitute a clear and flagrant violation of its resolutions 687 (1991), 707 (1991) and 715 (1991).”

In this regard, we reaffirm the need for both parties to ensure the freedom of movement of and the highest degree of security for the Mission's personnel. Having supported the resolution on the extension of UNMOT's mandate, my delegation wishes to reiterate the importance of a thorough and comprehensive review of the situation when the Mission's new mandate expires, and in particular of an appraisal of the parties' serious commitment to achieving a peaceful settlement.

First, the Egyptian Government is concerned over the great deterioration of the situation in Tajikistan.”

There is no doubt that Iraq's complete cooperation with the Commission is the only means of guaranteeing the Commission's completion of its task. It is one of the requirements for lifting the sanctions imposed on Iraq and for ending the suffering of the people of Iraq resulting from those sanctions.”

Egypt affirms the need to implement all the provisions of those resolutions with regard to the Commission's right to inspect the sites it deems necessary, and its access to those sites, so that it can complete its tasks and fulfil its responsibilities - particularly the provisions of Security Council resolutions 687 (1991), 707 (1991) and 715 (1991).

25. “My Government welcomed the signing on 8 April 1996 of the Agreement on the Regulation of Relations and the Promotion of Cooperation between the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and considered that the signing of that Agreement should not be used as an argument to terminate UNPREDEP or to reduce its strength or composition, particularly in the light of the essential role that UNPREDEP could play in assisting the two parties in the demarcation of their mutual borders. At the same time, we share the assessment of the Secretary-General following an overall evaluation of the military and civilian components of UNPREDEP, that replacing the current infantry units with United Nations military observers would be detrimental to UNPREDEP'S core function of monitoring the border.”

We agree with the Secretary-General that peace and stability within the borders of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia are still very dependent on developments in the rest of the former Yugoslavia, in particular on the degree of success that can be achieved in implementing the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

27. “We would also like to express our support for the efforts of the Secretary-General, his Special Representative and all those who have participated in UNOMIL, including both those who remained in Liberia despite the difficult circumstances and those who were provisionally repatriated while awaiting an improvement in the situation there. We hope that the next three months will bring tangible, positive developments in the country.”

28. “The plundering and looting of such property is unacceptable and could jeopardize the return of UNOMIL and the resumption of its work unless it receives additional support, which would constitute an additional burden on the United Nations and its Members. In this connection, the delegation of Egypt calls upon all Members to pay promptly their contributions to the peace-keeping budget in order to enable the United Nations to fulfil its mandates in Liberia and other countries. We wish to reaffirm our support for the extension of UNOMIL's mandate and our conviction that the international community must not abandon Liberia.”

29. “Since 1989, 13 peace agreements have failed to achieve the desired settlement in Liberia. It is unacceptable for the current efforts to fail as a result of personal ambitions that do not take the interests of the Liberian people into account. It is unacceptable for the Liberian people to be deprived of their legitimate rights to life and development. It is unacceptable for them to be left behind in the march of progress. The first step the factional leaders could take to prove their good intentions would be to return the property looted from the United Nations, Embassies and elsewhere no later than the end of next June.”

30. “The delegation of Egypt supports the Secretary- General's proposal to extend the mandate of UNOMIL for three additional months, on the condition that the factional leaders undertake to implement changes in that period leading to the restoration of peace and stability in Liberia. This, in turn, will lead to the creation of a climate favourable to the holding of presidential elections in August. The factional leaders in Liberia must understand that the presence of ECOMOG is a rare and precious opportunity that it may be difficult to recreate and must therefore not be squandered. In particular, the initiation of negotiations in earnest would undoubtedly be a decisive factor in the continued provision by the international community of humanitarian and economic assistance to Liberia in the future.”

31. “Recent events have revealed a new and serious problem of a different kind: the exploitation by the factional leaders of school-age children in their conflict by supplying them with weapons, encouraging them to plant mines and plying them with alcohol and narcotic drugs in order to achieve their narrow, parochial political objectives. This situation, in addition to the violations of personal freedoms and human rights referred to by the Secretary-General in his report, requires the special attention of the international community if these problems are not to become chronic conditions that will be very difficult to address in the future.”

    1996-05-28 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.3667 (1996) · source

32. “We agree with the Secretary-General's statement in paragraph 45 of his report that the withdrawal of ECOMOG from Liberia before peace is re-established could be catastrophic not only for the country - whose fate could echo that of Somalia should the Mission be withdrawn - but also for the subregion as a whole. Recent events in Liberia have placed in stark relief the serious dimensions of the African refugee problem. The reluctance of a number of States neighbours of Liberia to take in the refugees on the Bulk Challenger has revealed a new aspect of the social and economic problems suffered by the countries of the region as a result of the successive waves of refugees, which threaten to deplete the scarce resources of the States hosting refugees and, indeed, their very internal stability.”

33. “Egypt reaffirms its full support for the efforts of ECOWAS and ECOMOG and calls upon the international community to render all possible assistance to these efforts without delay. ECOWAS's clear commitment to the achievement of a peaceful settlement in Liberia - manifest in its deployment of over 7,000 soldiers under very difficult circumstances, with which we are all familiar, and at great cost - is in itself a success that cannot be denied. This is especially true given the fact that the arms embargo imposed on Liberia under Security Council resolution 788 (1992) has not been fully or strictly observed. We believe that it is premature for now to judge this pioneering regional peace-keeping experiment to be a failure. It is our hope that it will continue, and we call for more international support for such efforts.”

34. “In this regard, I express Egypt's appreciation and support for the United States initiative to establish an International Contact Group on Liberia, to include donor Governments and concerned international and regional organizations, in order to follow up on the achievement of the desired settlement in Liberia. I cannot fail to express the thanks and gratitude of the Government of Egypt for the effective role played by the United States in the evacuation of United Nations personnel and that of diplomatic missions from Monrovia, including the Egyptian Ambassador and the staff of the Egyptian Embassy, early last month in a well- organized and rapid operation that deserves our praise and appreciation.”

36. “The meeting also stressed the conditions to which all Liberian factions must commit themselves in order to return to the Abuja framework - primarily complete and immediate observance of the cease-fire signed on 11 April 1996; the withdrawal of civilian combatants; and the redeployment of the ECOWAS Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) in Monrovia to guarantee the liberty and safety of all civilians, without exception. In this framework, we received with some satisfaction yesterday the news from Monrovia of the combatants' departure from the capital and the expanded deployment of ECOMOG throughout the city.”

37. “Egypt welcomed the results of the meeting of ECOWAS Foreign Ministers held at Accra on 7 and 8 May, foremost among which were reaffirmation that the protocols adopted recently by the Council of State declaring Transitional Government to be "the Government of Liberia" and the Council of State to be its "collective presidency" contradicted the spirit of the Abuja Agreement; recognition of the need for all the Liberian factions to participate in the decision-making process and the statement that the Transitional Government should strive to achieve that end in a democratic framework; non-recognition of any Government that achieved power by the use of force; and reaffirmation of the need for elections to be held at the earliest possible opportunity.”

38. “Indeed, their rejection of all prior commitments has brought their country to a state of complete constitutional collapse, anarchy and a vacuum of law and order. This situation is untenable; it cannot continue; it is inconsistent with the special meaning of Liberia's name - "the land of liberty" - and with the aspirations of its people to a life of stability under internal national conciliation and external good-neighbourliness and cooperation. Egypt has followed with great interest the strenuous efforts made by the current chairmanship of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to avert any further deterioration of the situation in Liberia.”

39. “We were therefore gravely concerned by the sudden and all-encompassing deterioration of the humanitarian, military and political situation in Liberia at a time when the international community had hoped to add that country to the list of African States that have managed to resolve their internal problems with wisdom and foresight and in a peaceful manner, as was seen in Namibia, South Africa, Mozambique, Eritrea and Sierra Leone. The delegation of Egypt has considered the seventeenth progress report of the Secretary-General on the situation in Liberia. It is regrettable that the rapid deterioration of the situation there has been brought about by the lack of genuine political will on the part of the factional leaders to put an end to the mayhem and fighting and to restore stability.”

40. “It gives me pleasure at the outset, Mr. President, to pay tribute to your ideal conduct of the business of the Council during the current month and to the remarkable performance of the friendly delegation of China under your able leadership. Liberia was among the first African States to attain independence. It was a member of the League of Nations, and, with Egypt and Ethiopia, it was one of the three African States that signed the San Francisco Charter in 1945. Over the years Liberia continued to play an important role on both the African and international scenes.”

42. “Allow me to conclude my statement by reaffirming that every Egyptian feels and appreciates the special nature of the historical relations that bind the peoples of the Nile Valley in Egypt and in the Sudan. I repeat once again - and I am speaking to the Ambassador of the Sudan - that we in Egypt feel that we are a natural extension of the Sudan, that the Sudan is a natural extension of us, that anything that harms the people of the Sudan harms the people of Egypt and vice versa.”

43. “We hope that the Secretary-General will be able to come back to inform the Council that the Sudan has implemented all the measures included in the two resolutions. These are the same measures that were called for by the OAU Mechanism for Conflict Prevention, Management and Resolution and that the Secretary-General of the OAU has tried to convince the Sudan to implement, to no avail. Egypt hopes that diplomatic measures adopted by various countries in the implementation of the resolution adopted today, along with the efforts of all other countries, will contribute to encouraging the Sudan to comply. The implementation by the Sudan of the resolution adopted by the Council today can bring about a real change in Sudan's orientation and in the Sudanese Government's policies, which have led it to the present regrettable situation.”

44. “The members of the Council supported that position, and I should like to extend my thanks to all of them. The measures imposed by the resolution adopted today were restricted to diplomatic action in order to send to the Sudan a clear warning of the consequences of continuing its present policies, and I hope that the Sudanese Government will not misinterpret the message. The Council is determined, in accordance with the resolution, to ensure the implementation of resolution 1044 (1996). It will look at the matter again in 60 days to decide whether the Sudan has complied with the resolution, and other measures can be adopted to guarantee this compliance. The Egyptian Government still hopes that the Sudanese Government will comply, without delay or stalling, with the international demands included in resolution 1044 (1996) and 1054 (1996).”

45. “By adopting resolution 1054 (1996) today, under Chapter VII of the Charter, the Security Council reaffirmed that the dangers of international terrorism represent a grave threat to international peace and security and that concerted efforts by countries to eliminate that threat and to deter those who assist in its perpetration are a basic requirement for the maintenance of international peace and security in today's world. History will record that in the Council's deliberations on this resolution, Egypt categorically rejected the inclusion of any measure that would harm the Sudanese people or increase its suffering, which results from the policies of its Government. Egypt also rejected the inclusion of any measure that would negatively affect the unity, independence and territorial integrity of the Sudan.”

46. “Consequently - and I hope this is clear - the piece of evidence that was sought by the defence has turned into proof positive that the Sudan was closely linked to these terrorists. Since the adoption of resolution 1044 (1996), the Sudanese Government has hinted that it was about to change its policies vis-a-vis the support of international acts and activities that target the security and stability of neighbouring countries. We have heard two neighbouring countries today - Ethiopia and Uganda. Regrettably, we do not see that the words of the officials of the Government of Sudan match their deeds. We hope that the resolution just adopted by the Council will reaffirm the irreversible resolve to implement the earlier resolution.”

47. “I would like to say that in a front-page article, on 14 March 1996, that newspaper reported that the three suspects harboured by Sudan would appear in a different country and would tell the press that the Sudan was innocent and had not taken part in the assassination attempt. In fact, on 20 April, an Arab newspaper published an interview with a person who said he was one of the suspects, claiming that he was in Afghanistan. Despite the fact that that terrorist confessed to his involvement in the assassination attempt and stated that before that others had entered Ethiopia via the Sudan, he denied that the Sudan had taken part in the conspiracy, just as the Sudanese newspaper had predicted more than a month before.”

48. “I would also like to say that I do not understand what the Sudanese Ambassador meant when he wondered why Egypt has not denied that one of the suspects is in Afghanistan. I do not understand this. Egypt has nothing to do with these suspects. It has absolutely no relationship with them, so it cannot deny, confirm or affirm their whereabouts. This stands in stark contrast to the established link between the Sudan and the suspects. It is regrettable that some official Sudanese circles, in an attempt to deny the relationship of the Sudanese Government to these terrorists, have proved this infamous relationship beyond any doubt. The Sudanese Ambassador mentioned a Sudanese newspaper that was closely linked to security and official circles in Khartoum.”

49. “However, those in power in Sudan have, regrettably, continued their policy of disregarding the will of the international community. They have continued to grant shelter to terrorists, and have helped them to evade prosecution. Such prosecution would have revealed who had provided them with shelter, assistance, weapons and security cover. I listened very carefully to the statement of the Permanent Representative of the Sudan, and would like to correct his claim - on page 16 of his text - that Egypt circulated a document that included a record of an investigation of some of the suspects currently in Ethiopian jails. I would like to make it clear that Egypt has not circulated this document, and I wish that he would be more precise in such matters.”

50. “The report of the Secretary-General on the efforts of his Special Envoy pursuant to resolution 1044 (1996), drew two firm conclusions: first, that Sudan has not yet complied with the Security Council's demand to extradite the three suspects to Ethiopia; and, secondly, that all the neighbouring countries of Sudan visited by the Secretary- General's Special Envoy, accused it, in one way or another, of supporting terrorist activities within their territories. The Council gave the Government of Sudan more than two months to comply with resolution 1044 (1996) before meeting today to adopt the measures which must be taken by the international community to force the Sudanese Government to deal with this dangerous issue with due seriousness.”
