  25. “Mr. ERDOS (Hungary) (interpretation from French): Hungary sincerely welcomes the unanimous sdoption of resolution 780 (1992). Im that respect, I should like to make three points. Firstly, Hungsry interprets the resolution we have just adopted as the beginning of a process which should lead us, within a seasonable period of time, to the logical conclusion of the enterprise represented by resolution 780 (1992), namely. the establisment of the appropriate means and the compilation of the necessary information to bring to justice those responsible for the crimes that continue to be committed systematically sad on a daily basis in the former Yugoslavia. This genocide and blind barbarity cannot be left without suitable punishment by the international community.”

My country's position, which has been officially stated, concurs with that contained in the resolution we have just adopted, namely, that the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has ceased to exist and that there is no automatic continuation of the membership of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the United Nations. I alse note that we were not alone in taking this position in the international community. We also take note of the Council's recommendation to the General Asse.ibly to the effect that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia should apply for membership in the United Nations.”

We wish to emphasize the importance of the Council's decision to consider additional measures to ensure the success of the UNPROFOR operation. We are confident that the Council will be equzl to the task by facilitating and contributing to the implementation of the specific agreements concluded at the London Conference.”

A long humanitarian road lies ahead before the situation of the civilian population in Bosnia and Herzegovina is normalized. We will need patience, perseverance and tenacity, and we are happy to note that the necessary funding to support the execution of the humanitarian tasks, under the direction of the world Organization, will be available, thanks to the offers made to the United Nations by several States.”

My delegation voted in favour of the resolution that the Council has just adopted. We were motivated to do so by the same desire as we have felt since the beginning of the crisis in former Yugoslavia: the desire to contribute to the effectiveness of United Nations and international actions in the republics of the former federation.”

The Secretary-General's report on Cambodia is abundantly clear on this subject, and highlights the refusal of the PDK to fulfil its obligations under the Paris Agreements. We welcome the fact that the draft resolution before us reflects expressis verbis the concerns of the international community in that connection. The Security Council today bears prime responsibility for ensuring that the signatories of the Paris Agreements act in conformity with the obligations they have assumed.”

  34. “Nevertheless, if the Khmer people is allowed and dares to seize this opportunity, and if the refugees are to return hone and to have confidence in their future, the Cambodians themselves must be absolutely certain that the recent history of their country will not be repeated and that the unspeakable terror that it suffered is once and for all a thing of the past. It is shocking to see today that those who are placing obstacles in the path of Cambodia's resurrection are the same people who, despite their previous activities, now have the opportunity to be an integral part of the building of a new democratic country. Everything must and will have to be done to free Cambodia from the memory of the nightmare of a quite recent past.”

Akashi, for their activities enabling the recent launch of the second phase of the cease-fire in Cambodia and to finish the almost complete military deployment of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC). In the context of the peace process in Cambodia, it is essential that the international community demonstrate that, despite the lack of cooperation on the part of one of the Cambodian parties, it remains resolved to pursue the objectives set down in the Paris Agreements. These Agreements have paved the way to a possible national reconciliation.”

  36. “We are convinced that if the Unitea Nations wants to play a helpful part, with the specific means available to it, in efforts designed to form a truly democratic and non-racial South African Government, the only real alternative open to us is the resumption of negotiations within the framework of CODESA, for without it those efforts may well fail, with tragic consequences. The draft resolution before us, which is the result of painstaking consultations, can make a valuable contribution to the establishment of a climate favourable to the ultimate objective of democracy, non-discrimination and well-being for each and every one of the citizens of South Africa.”

  37. “We urge the South African Government and all other parties concerned to halt the violence, to calm people's minds and to find those to blame for the atrocities that have been perpetrated and to uphold the rule of law. In the critical situation prevailing today, which is full of bitterness but also of hope, the Security Council must avoid deterring any participant in CODESA from the idea of resuming negotiations. Similarly, the mission that the Secretary-General of the United Nations is asked to send to South Africa must promote the halting of violence and the continuation of negotiations as soon as possible, in consultation with all parties concerned.”

  38. “The experience my country has gained in this matter suggests that changes of system carried out in our region were helped enormously by the absence of violence. Those changes of system succeeded in becoming substantial and convincing in nature, to the extent that power was transferred exclusively by peaceful means, through negotiation mechanisms, by means of agreements concluded between political partners of opposing camps. That experience has also shown that one must avoid doing anything that might serve to unleash passions and to set in motion uncontrollable processes, thus jeopardizing the success of the transition itself. We believe that the fundamental objective of the community of nations must be to encourage the resumption of the negotiation process and to help restore conditions for peace within South African society.”

  39. “The purpose of the negotiation process is to set up a constitution designed to secure the complete and peaceful elimination of apartheid, a system which is totally contrary to the values of our civilization, and to build a non-racial, democratic and united South Africa. In order to achieve this goal, it is essential for the signatories of the National Peace Accord to return to the negotiating table. The dramatic changes which have occurred recently in the eastern-central region of Europe, including Hungary, bear some similarity to those now taking shape in South Africa. The most critical challenge that those changes posed for our region was that of ensuring that the transition towards democracy would take place peacefully.”

  40. “Mr. ERDOS (Hungary) (interpretation from French): Hungary has been following with profound concern the recent escalation of violence in South Africa. We strongly deplore and condemn the massacre which took place at Boipatong. We gave our support to the request of the Organization of African Unity to convene in this connection an urgent meeting. The wave of violence that has struck South Africa poses a grave threat to the future of the negotiation process, a process which has already led to unquestionably valuable results and which, moreover, holds great hope for the future.”

  41. “For our part, we should like to see the Security Council meet as soon as possible, in accordance with the resolution that has just been adopted, to determine that the circumstances that led the Council to impose sanctions no longer exist; that would enable us to resume normal and regular contacts with Libya. In that expectation, Hungary voted in favour of resolution 748 (1992), because we consider it necessary to act individually and collectively against any terrorist challenge, of any sort and from any source, to reject resolutely all complacency and complicity, and to do everything possible to put an end once and for all to this crime against humanity.”

  42. “We are far from pleased about the application under Chapter VII of the Charter of sanctions against a State Member of the United Nations, and even less so in the case of a country with which we have had fruitful relations of economic cooperation. That is why we hope that the Libyan Government will respond to the requests contained in Security Council resolution 731 (1992) and will make the appropriate commitment to renounce terrorism. We hope that the Libyan Government will take advantage of the period between now and mid-April to reconsider its position. We also venture to hope that it will see in the role that the Secretary-General of the United Nations is being called upon to play in this context, as well as in the possible activities of other States or groups of States, an opportunity to extricate itself from the present situation.”

  43. “This is all the more regrettable since the United Nations Secretary-General, the League of Arab States and other countries have spared no effort to promote and facilitate the implementation of that resolution. All of this casts doubt on the value of statements expressing readiness to cooperate with the Security Council and professions of faith in the importance of national commitment and international cooperation in the struggle against terrorism. Bearing in mind the vital significance of the subject before us today, as well as the credibility and authority of the United Nations, Hungary has felt and continues to feel that the Security Council must take further measures to ensure compliance with its own resolutions.”

  44. “Mr. ERDOS (Hungary) (interpretation from French): The crimes associated with international terrorism and leading to the loss of countless human lives throughout the world remain one of the most serious problems of our day. It is therefore only natural for the Security Council to deal with them very seriously and with an acute sense of responsibility. Accordingly, our Council is examining the acts of terrorism committed against Pan Am and UTA flights, because those acts constitute beyond any shadow of a doubt a threat to international peace and security. Today, as we consider for the second time the fate of these Pan Am and UTA flights, we are compelled to note that, although over two months have passed since the adoption of Security Council resolution 731 (1992), Libya has yet to comply with its provisions.”

  46. “Given the exceptionally grave human rights situation in Iraq, it would, in our opinion, be a good moment to consider - in the appropriate United Nations forums - sending a human rights observer team to Iraq. The delegation of Hungary hopes that the representatives of the Republic of Iraq present today at this meeting of the Security Council will be able to return to their country with a clear view of what the international community expects of their Government. Here, we are talking about nothing more nor less than the full and unconditional implementation of the relevant resolutions of the Council.”

  47. “Another subject of keen concern for Hungary is the human rights situation in Iraq. These rights continue to be violated: we note cases of summary execution, political assassination, torture, involuntary disappearances, arbitrary arrests and detentions, suppression of the freedoms of thought, expression and association, violations of the rights of ethnic and religious communities and so on. Moreover, the Security Council has on many occasions expressed its deep concern about the repatriation of Kuwaitis and nationals of third countries in in Iraq. In this context, we believe that Iraq's derelictions in the area of cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) are unacceptable.”

  48. “That being the case, we do not believe that the Iragi reference to "interference in its internal affairs" as justification for its refusal to engage in the sale of its oil is well founded, given the policy and practices that that country so recently pursued in the region. In this respect, we regret that Iraq has deemed it proper unilaterally to break off negotiations on this topic with the United Nations representatives in Vienna. Similarly, it is because of the total lack of Iraqi cooperation that the question of compensation is still deadlocked. We also believe that it is important that Iraq should scrupulously honour all its obligations concerning the servicing and reimbursing of its foreign debt. A great deal remains to be done concerning the restitution of Kuwaiti property seized by Iraq.”

  49. “We are well aware of the consequences of the economic blockade imposed in the north and south of Iraq by the Government of the Iraq itself. The attitude of the Iraqi Government is exposing the entire civilian population of the country to needless suffering. The economic sanctions imposed by the United Nations cannot affect supplies of food, medicines and other goods to meet the basic humanitarian needs of the civilian population of Iraq. As we are aware, Security Council resolutions specifically designed to relieve the suffering of the people of the country have established mechanisms designed to enable Irag to purchase the basic necessities, These purchases ought to be paid for out of the proceeds from the sale of a certain amount of Iraqi oil.”

  50. “As for the information required of it, Iraq is holding to its own particular interpretation, which is that it considers the information it supplies as being sufficient information. Events continue to show that this interpretation is patently false. The attitude of the Iraqi side concerning the question of the destruction of materials and facilities to that end is as unsatisfactory. What we are seeing here is delaying tactics. It is up to those bodies authorized to do so by the Security Council to determine what Iraq must or must not destroy, and it will continue to be up to those bodies. We believe that the only way to loosen the sanctions imposed on Iraq is for Iraq to implement the Council's resolutions in full. Iraq must be aware of the serious consequences of continuing its serious derelictions in this area.”
