“We hope that the Security Council will adopt a resolution commensurate with the expectations of the Angolan people, that will be equal to the task of consolidating peace throughout southern Africa - and throughout Africa as a whole - so that Africa can embark irreversibly on the process of development.”

“The presence of the ministerial delegation also provides an opportunity to reaffirm the OAU's desire to continue and to strengthen its cooperation with the United Nations, particularly in the area of preventive diplomacy, through the OAU's central mechanism for the prevention, management and settlement of conflicts in Africa. This cooperation has proved very useful in a number of situations, and the case of Angola once again provides us today with an opportunity to observe a successful peace- keeping operation conducted by the United Nations with the participation of the African countries.”

“The Council of Ministers of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), at its sixty-first regular session in Addis Ababa - from 23 to 27 January 1995 - reaffirmed its total support for the peace process under way in Angola on the basis of the "Acordos de Paz" and the relevant resolutions of the Security Council. In order to ensure the success of this process, the Council of the OAU dispatched the African ministerial delegation that is present here today, to ask the Security Council to authorize the establishment of UNAVEM. III and the rapid deployment of troops.”

“The reconstruction of the country, the repatriation of refugees, the return of displaced persons, the de-mining operations and the reintegration into civilian life of demobilized troops are major challenges that call out for more assistance from the international community. We welcome the Secretary-General's arrangements for the humanitarian relief programme that the United Nations, in cooperation with the specialized agencies, intends to implement at the present stage of the peace process. The role of UNAVEM. III is crucial in this context as it will enable relief to be delivered to the needy and will strengthen coordination between the various humanitarian activities.”

“Further cause for satisfaction is the fact that the cease-fire has been respected and that the parties have committed themselves to ensuring the safety of United Nations personnel. These are sufficient conditions for the rapid deployment of UNAVEM. III. Moreover, the readiness of the President of the Republic of Angola and the Head of UNITA to meet in the near future and the offer by the Angolan Government to provide logistic support to the UNAVEM. forces provide additional assurances that the United Nations operation will be launched under very favourable circumstances. The consolidation of peace in Angola is a priority matter that requires cooperation from us all.”

“Likewise, the supervision and verification of the disengagement of forces, the monitoring and observance of the cease-fire, and the verification of the withdrawal, quartering and demobilization of troops are tasks that only the United Nations can perform and which are vital if the peace process is to be propelled forwards. The Angolan people expect the Security Council to continue to provide assistance until peace is restored in their country, which, for 19 years now, has been ravaged by a fratricidal war that has caused enormous losses and great suffering. The Government of Angola and the leaders of UNITA, both during and after the signing of the Lusaka agreement, have made their willingness to further the peace process clear.”

“What has been achieved so far by the efforts of the United Nations, the OAU, the members of the troika and all the countries of the region guarantees that the Lusaka Protocol will continue to be implemented on a solid foundation. Furthermore, the setting up of a Joint Commission to supervise the implementation of the peace accords will ensure that any difficulties will be overcome that may stand in the way of a final settlement of the Angolan conflict. In this context, the prompt deployment of the new United Nations Angola Verification Mission (UNAVEM. III) would certainly speed up the implementation of the Protocol, in response to the expectations of the Security Council and the international community as a whole.”

“I should also like to take the opportunity provided by my participation in this debate to congratulate the Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Angola, Maitre Alioune Blondin Beye, the countries making up the troika of observers - the United States of America, the Russian Federation and Portugal - and the countries of southern Africa, particularly Zambia, for the commendable efforts they have all made to promote a settlement of the Angolan conflict. The signing of the Lusaka Protocol and the declaration of a cease-fire between the two parties were crucial stages on the way to achieving a lasting peace in Angola. The United Nations can rightly be regarded as the architect of the peace process now going on in that country. It sponsored the process from start to finish and did everything necessary to ensure its success.”
