1. “We appeal to all of those who are in a position to do so to provide the financial assistance needed to facilitate the implementation of the peace process and to improve the humanitarian situation in Mozambique. We congratulate the Secretary-General for his personal efforts in contributing to the achievement of important arrangements during his recent visit to Mozambique and pay tribute to his Special Representative, Mr. Ajello, for the good work and dynamism he has brought to his functions. Our recognition also goes to all the women and men serving in the United Nations Operation in Mozambique for their assistance in the Mozambique peace process. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. There are no further speakers inscribed on my list.”

2. “To do otherwise would unnecessarily and dangerously prolong the agony of the Mozambican people, who for too long have endured the excruciating pain that goes with the loss of loved ones killed in the war, for too long suffered the hardship caused by a destroyed economy and shattered lives, and for too long legitimately longed for peace. We are particularly encouraged by the positive developments in the peace process in Mozambique, and especially by the dialogue between President Chissano and the leader of RENAMO, Mr. Dhlakama, as noted in the report of the Secretary- General (S/26666). We encourage the parties to maintain this momentum for the sake of lasting peace and continued prosperity in their country.”

3. “Its timely and scrupulous implementation will finally bring peace and stability to Mozambique. We are pleased to note the progress made, especially recently, in connection with aspects related to the General Peace Agreement. In this regard, my Government attaches the utmost importance to the recently agreed new time- table for the implementation of the General Peace Agreement. The success of the ongoing peace process and the holding of the long- awaited elections in October of next year depend on the ability of both parties to abide by and comply with this timetable. My Government therefore urges them to do everything in their power to continue to honour promptly their agreements and arrangements, thus meeting the historic challenge of bringing peace, stability and prosperity to their country.”

4. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Cape Verde. My Government has been following the peace process in Mozambique with keen interest. After years of suffering and hardship, the people of Mozambique, to whom we are linked by special ties of close friendship and history, have a unique opportunity to change the course of events in order to reach harmony and political stability in the country, rebuild their shattered lives and enjoy, in peace and freedom, the many resources of their bountiful land. The peace process under way offers them this unique opportunity. The political parties and their leaders are expected to play a historic role, and they bear a special responsibility in this regard. The General Peace Agreement is the centre of this process.”

It welcomes the resumption of humanitarian relief deliveries to the cities of Cuito and Huambo.

The activities of the two organizations must complement each other and the exchange of information between the United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) and the representatives of the Chairman-in-Office of the CSCE should be an integral part of international activities in Georgia from now on. The forthcoming trip to that country by the representative of the Chairman-in-Office of the CSCE, in order to prepare for the visit by the Chairman, and the detailed report he has been asked to submit on the situation in Abkhazia will undoubtedly be valuable contributions to the efforts to bring about an overall settlement of the conflict in Georgia, in all its aspects.”

We expect all parties to be fully prepared to cooperate with the Mission which the United Nations is to send to Georgia, which will be a fact-finding Mission regarding violations of international humanitarian law. The importance of the help of the Russian Federation as a mediator in halting the hostilities and in efforts to bring about a peaceful solution to existing problems should not be underestimated. Hungary attaches great importance to cooperation with the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) in dealing with the crisis in Georgia.”

Hungary is convinced that everything must be done to stem the spread of such beliefs and attitudes. The unanimous adoption of the resolution today confirms once again that the international community rejects the use of violence to settle problems which could be resolved by political means.”

His presence underscores even further the seriousness of the problems that have come up in the Abkhaz territories of the Republic of Georgia. Hungary voted in favour of resolution 876 (1993). The violation by the Abkhaz side of the Sochi cease-fire agreement, the violations of international humanitarian law, the reported cases of "ethnic cleansing" and the continuation of armed actions aimed at undermining the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Georgia are all deeply disturbing and reprehensible.”

The measures contained in the resolution are a logical step in the policies the Security Council is pursuing with regard to the military authorities in Haiti. We consider it to be intolerable that that regime is able to continue with total impunity to defy the relevant resolutions of the Council and to obstruct implementation of the will of the international community. We are particularly pleased with the firmness with which the Council has taken action to see to it that its own resolutions are respected.”

The credibility and authority of the world Organization will be strengthened, provided that it is willing to commit itself, on the basis of a clear and well-defined plan, to go the distance in its efforts to prevent conflict, to keep or make peace, and to build peace in post-conflict situations.”

43. “UNTAC, under the leadership of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Yasushi Akashi, and all of the international personnel involved in it, worked under extremely complex conditions to put Cambodia back on its feet and restore the conditions necessary to ensure the functioning of the country. Looking back we can say, with good reason, that the United Nations presence in Cambodia can be regarded as a model. Despite major difficulties, casualties and much tension, all of which occurred as Cambodia moved along the road towards the settlement which had been envisaged in the Paris Agreements, the international community was able to avoid the shoals in the path to reconciliation and national reconstruction.”

44. “The establishment of the constituent Assembly, following the election, the promulgation of a new Constitution, the establishment of a new government and, most recently, the election of the King of the Kingdom of Cambodia are all striking and eloquent examples of what has been achieved. In our world which is full of tension, flashpoints and wars, we must properly appreciate the success of this effort which has been able to put an end to the suffering and ravages that have afflicted the people of that country so harshly, turning one of the darkest pages of their recent history. The United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), with a modest Hungarian contribution, has been the broadest and largest operation in the history of the Organization, an operation that successfully attained its objectives.”

The message just brought to us is a faithful reflection of the new chapter that is opening in the history of the Khmer people. I am sure that the Security Council will very carefully and ina positive way consider the matters that were raised in Prince Norodom Ranariddh's speech. Today's meeting is a happy one which celebrates the efforts of the people of Cambodia and of the international community to ensure that peace and democracy triumph in Cambodia.”

47. “It hopes thereby to help to create there the necessary conditions for a peaceful settlement of all disputes on the basis of respect for the principles of territorial integrity and the rights of ethnic communities. It also expects that the Council's action today on the extension of UNPROFOR's mandate might have a favourable impact on the diplomatic process designed to achieve a just and eguitable solution in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Given the decision taken today by the Council to extend UNPROFOR's mandate for a longer period than in the past, we shall expect, two months after the adoption of the resolution, a report from the Secretary-General on developments affecting Croatia, from which we will then have to draw conclusions as part of a review of the mandate of UNPROFOR.”

48. “We welcome the fact that the Council was able to live up to the task of the moment and to produce a text which, in the final analysis, was mutually acceptable, both to the Security Council and to the Republic of Croatia. Hungary voted in favour of the resolution because in the current circumstances it wished to maintain UNPROFOR operations on the territory of Croatia and to do everything possible to prevent a resurgence of armed hostilities along its southern borders. It gave its support to the resolution because it sees in it also a faithful reflection of the special problems facing the Republic of Croatia and the entire region concerned.”

49. “Because of this, the conditions prevailing in that country are matters for concern; reason and restraint may break down even more, the danger of an escalation of new armed conflicts is very real, and the continuation of the status quo can only make more alarming an already tense situation. We are bound to note that one third of Croatian national territory continues to be beyond the authority of the Republic of Croatia, with all that that means for the daily life of its people and for the infrastructure of the country.
