  26. “We are profoundly concerned over the failure of international efforts to eud the despicable, abhorrent policies being pursued in Bosnis and Herzegovina. All the ~igns are that everything we have done is far from being enough. Wa must take much more vigorous action to dispel the illusion that seems to prevail in some quarters that the world accepts the policy of fait accompli. We must think of the consequences of a resolute and consistent attitude by the community of nations for other parts of the planet suffering bleody conflicts. Hungary believes that, faced wiih a worsening of the crisis in Bosnia and Horzeqovina and other reaions of the former Yugoslavia. the Seeurity Council must act with the necessary resolve.”

  27. “These areas could sezve as safe havens for the civilian population, regardless of ethnic or religious background. The struggle for the survival of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina continues. The international community has not yet succeeded in halting the aggression against this country. On the contrary, two thirds of its territory have been occupied by the aggressors, who continue to benefit rrom cross-border complicity and who no longer bother to disguise their strategic territorial ambitions. After reflecting on this question, we believe that we must avoid the fundamental error of equating an aggressor that continues to trample underfoot its international commitments and a victim striving, with the means at its disposal, to depend itself, striving to exist.”

  28. “With the approach of winter, the human tragedy unfolding before our very eyes will take on even more disastrous dimensions. The international community, and the Security Council in particular, must remain permanently and actively seized of this problem, unprecedented in Europe since the end of the Second World War. We ara fully aware that it ie imnoeeible to address the and Herzegovina by exclusively humanitarian means, that it is unthinkable to restore peace in the country simply by feeding the population and healing its wounds. But Hungary believes that in view of the alarming humanitarian situation it is vital to take practical steps without delay to overcome the imminent dangers and the immediate difficulties by setting up safe areas for humanitarian purposes in various regions of Bosnia and Nerzegovina.”

  29. “In a region such as Central and Eastern Europes it demonstrates incredible ignorance or criminal irresponsibility to seek to achieve such objectives, for that would drag the whole region inte an apocalyptic chain of events, with incalculable consequences. The number of people in Bosnia and Harzegovina who have had to leave their homes nas risen to 2 million, and, with the continued "ethnic cleansing" operations and continued fighting, fresh waves of refugees and displaced persons may be expected. Hungary, a neighbouring country which was among the first to feel and absorb the effects of this war, has from the beginning taken an active part in the international efforts to give refuge to those who have fied the fighting and degradation. Their nunber in Hungary is now approximately 80,000.”

  30. “We are deeply concerned about the persistent, massive and systematic yiolations of human raghts and international humanitarian law, documented in great detail in the report of Mr. Mazowiecki, Special Rapporteur of the Commission on Human Rights, snd in his statement to the Security Council. Huagary vigorously condemns efforts to bring about the creation of so-cclled nation-States through "ethnic cleansing" and the establishment of "ethnically pure" territories. We denounce the atrocities committed for this purpose and the expulsion cf national or religious minoritius. The already tense situation in this ragard threatens to engulf other territories in the north and south of Serbia and beyond.”

  31. “All the peoples, all the nationalities, living in those lands are victims of this conflict ~ Boanian Muslims, Croats, Serbs and others, who throughout hiistory have woven close ties with Hungarians, and whose sufferings we therefore feel deeply. One could hardly be more convinced than wa are, as inhabitants of that region of Europe, that this kind of extreme nationalism cannot serve the interests of the Serbs themselves, wherever they may live, and that they must find their path to Salvation in a different policy. The interaational community has stated and restated that any acquisition of territory by force ts illegal and unacceptable. It must reject and isolate those who champion such policies.”

  32. “The efforts of the two Co-Chairmen of the Steering Comaittee of the Conference are praiseworthy, and the progress made in the difficult and delicate negotiations should be properly appreciated. We must note, howaver, that many important Security Council resolutions remain dead letters, and that the decisions of the International Conference contiaue to be ignored. Serb nationalism, both within and outside Serbia, and regular and irregular forces of that nationalism undoubtedly bear the heaviest burden of responsibility for the outbreak of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia and its extension to other regions.”

  33. “We should also bear in mind the fact that, in the eyes of the international public, the hopes focused on the United Nations effectiveness in conflict settlement appear today to be well justified on the basis of the achievements of the world Organization in the recent past, in particular in the area of the United Nations contribution to putting down aggression. Since the beginning of the crisis in the former Yugoslavia the Security Council has repeatedly addressed the issue, adopting a large nunber of resolutions on it. The International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia offered us the right framework for the achievement of a lasting political settlement of the conflict.”

  34. “The crisis in the former Yugoslavia, and particularly the situatien in Bosnia and Herzegovina, continue seriously to imperil international peace and security. Yhey are grounds for extremely serious concern. Wa believe that the way in which international organizations react to this growing crisis an! the way in which they demonstrate their capacity and readiness to act are increasingly assuming the character of a crucial precedent. It is vital for the international forums addressing the problems of the former Yugoslavia to yield tangible results, for otheswise the international community would merely be sending an extremely equivocal message, fraught with dire consequences, to fomenters of unrest around the world.”

  35. “The massacres, the spectacle of hundreds of thousands of refugees obliged to quit their homes, the pictures of concentration camps with detainees behind barbed wire, and the deliberate acts of jestruction reminded us of the darkest pages of contemporary European history. And yet, in 1945, after the end of the Second World War, the peoples of the United Nations expressed their resolve to save succeeding generaticns from the scourge of war and undertook to do their utmost to ensure that such horrors were never repeated. Thus, it is a tragic which, after the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the adoption of the Charter of Paris, had finally succeeded in transcending the divisions of four decades and had decided to opt for the path leading to the establishment of a free, united and democratic European continent.”

  36. “We put forth these ideas as a country which, by virtue of its geographical proximity and for historical and economic reasons, has been and remains one of the most affected by the crisis in what was once Yugoslavia. Hungary, well aware of the ethnocentric nationalist motivations that played an important role in the outbreak of the crisis in the former Yugoslavia in 1991, was not taken wholly by surprise by the repetition of this aggression, mutatis mutandis, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, nor by the re-enactment of a familiar scenario that was well tested during the early phases of the conflict. Our public opinion was none the less greatly shocked by the events that later took place in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

  37. “I thank the representative of India for his kind words addressed to me. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Hungary. before the assault launched against Bosnia and Herzegovina and the siege of Sarajevo, had drawn the Council's attention to the potential dangers inherent in the situation in that Reoublic, not only for the region, but also for international peace and security. We also stressed at that time the need to take adequate preventive measures to prevent the extension of the conflict already raging in other parts of the defunct Federation to Bosnia and Herzegovina and other regions of the former Yugoslavia. We had stressed the increased role that the United Nations should play there and the importance of deploying observers of the world Organization in Bosnia and Herzegovina and elsewhere.”
