  1. “As to the operative part of the resolution, it is our understanding, as confirmed by its sponsors, that the requirement contained in paragraph 11 of resolution 836 (1993) for the Member States cooperating with UNPROFOR to report to the Council through the Secretary- General applies also to this resolution. As we deplore this new series of attacks and follow developments closely, the delegation of Brazil reaffirms its readiness to continue working towards consensual efforts to help keep a reign on the overall situation in Bosnia. W e call upon all parties and others concerned to promptly reach a negotiated solution, notwithstanding the distressing conditions of the present situation. Only a solution to the conflict that rests on the logic of peace, and not on the logic of war, can be durable.”

  2. “As to the resolution we have just adopted, the delegation of Brazil would like to place on record that, while we concur with the need for a technical adjustment to resolution 836 (1993) in order to protect the safe area of Bihac, it is a matter of concern to us that the extraordinary recourse to the use of air power is being extended to another country. We reiterate our reservation on the use of the expression "all necessary measures", which seems to be becoming a standard expression of the Council associated with military force to the detriment of diplomatic efforts.”

  3. “We believe that the concerted action by the Contact Group in the past month has helped to create a framework for a negotiated settlement in spite of the obstacles it has encountered. Brazil has been fully supportive of the initiative and we are convinced that the Contact Group's role as mediators remains extremely important. In the light of the gravity of the situation in the former Yugoslavia, the international community must speak with one voice. The United Nations must continue to work to alleviate the suffering of the civilian population while trying to prevent the conflict from escalating and promoting whatever progress is possible on the diplomatic front.”

  4. “Such events further endanger the lives of innocent civilians and carry the risk of spreading the war, constituting a major setback to present international efforts directed at solving the Bosnia crisis by peaceful means. They can only meet with our utmost condemnation. As we follow these very worrisome developments, however, we must translate our concern into an urgent reactivation of efforts to put an end to the fighting on the basis of the Charter, the relevant Security Council resolutions and the settlement proposed by the Contact Group. The delegation of Brazil continues to encourage those more closely in touch with the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina to intensify their diplomatic efforts to deal with the prevailing difficult circumstances.”

  5. “The escalation of violence in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in and around the safe area of Bihac poses new challenges for the international community as it tries to respond in a prompt and effective way to a complex and dangerously worsening situation. One week ago the Security Council met to review the latest series of events in Bihac and issued a firm warning to all parties and others concerned to refrain from hostile action and to respect the international border between the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This warning was not heeded. The continuing fighting in Bihac in violation of the city's status as a safe area has now become enmeshed with disrespect for the territorial integrity of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

  6. “A people that has dedicated so much energy to reaching for peace is certainly entitled to see its aspirations for a better future finally materialize.”

  7. “The definition of the role to be played by the United Nations after the election, in the interim period as well as after the inauguration of the elected Government, is a matter of great importance, We note with interest the comments and suggestions of the Secretary-General, and we remain prepared to consider this question with the care and attention it deserves. In Cambodia there is reason to be cautious, but there is also reason to be hopeful. It is our sincere hope that the prospect of trouble may prove to be overstated, and that the electoral process may be concluded successfully and in peace. Any other result would fail to do justice to the commitment of the United Nations and, most of all, to the efforts of the Cambodian people themselves.”

  8. “In that connection we take note of the information received from the Secretary-General on UNTAC's state of readiness to cope with the difficulties of the situation prevailing in the country and on the specific measures being implemented for the safety of electoral observers. Doing the utmost to ensure safety throughout the election period must now be considered an absolute priority for the United Nations. Having decided to go ahead with the elections as scheduled, even under circumstances that are far from those that would have been desirable, the Security Council must now be ready to face possible challenges deriving from that decision.”

  9. “That state of affairs justifies the taking of redoubled precautions, particularly bearing in mind that one of the parties to the Paris Agreements has refused to take part in the electoral process. Recent United Nations experience clearly demonstrates the risks posed by such circumstances, including the likelihood that the results of the elections might be challenged by losing or non-participating parties. With the elections drawing closer, it is essential that appropriate precautionary measures be taken in order to prevent, to the maximum extent possible, the recurrence of violence against United Nations personnel and against the civilian population.”

  10. “The Secretary-General has recently issued two comprehensive, detailed and sobering reports on the pre-electoral situation in Cambodia. These documents provide us with enough reasons to be guarded and even apprehensive. We are disturbed by the continued cowardly attacks on UNTAC personnel and express our condolences for those officers who lost their lives. We are also disturbed by frequent reports of violent incidents based on ethnic and political grounds. The perpetrators of these vile acts of intimidation, which constitute clear violations of the Paris Agreements, have in many cases been clearly identified, and they should be held fully responsible for their actions. It is a well known fact that armed units from some of the Cambodian parties are still in place.”

  11. “Mr, FUJITA (Brazil): Brazil joined in supporting resolution 826 (1993), which the Security Council has just adopted. The ndeed situation in Cambodia has now reached a crucial stage, and it is i appropriate for the Security Council to voice its concerns and expectations, and also a word of warning, with regard to the forthcoming election in that country. Scheduled to begin in just three days, the election for the constituent assembly is poised to become a watershed event in the history of Cambodia. We express our recognition for the work of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) and for the remarkable success it has achieved in the conduct of the electoral process so far, often under very difficult conditions.”
