1. “Of course, having said this, we are very much aware, as are many others, that in the final analysis the fate of the Somali people lies in their own hands, in the hands of their leaders and in the willingness of their leaders to look beyond past and present differences and instead look forward to a future of a just peace and peaceful development. In closing, Italy fully subscribes to the statement just made by the Netherlands in its current capacity as President of the European Union.”

2. “I would like to recall by way of example that last year Italy contributed approximately $9 million worth of emergency aid to Somalia. I strongly believe that this meeting will be even more successful if it sends a new and very clear message that the Somali factions - all of them, without exception - must carry on the process of genuine national reconciliation. They must focus on the resurrection and well-being of the entire country as their ultimate objective. The international community should enhance this process by making appeals, exerting influence and providing all the necessary assistance it can muster.”

3. “I have referred here mainly to Mogadishu, but, needless to say, similar efforts must also be made in the rest of Somalia, particularly in the areas where an atmosphere of confrontation still prevails. We now understand that Hussein Aidid and a delegation of the Sodere group are right now travelling to several foreign countries. We sincerely hope that all their interlocutors will impress upon them the need for dialogue, flexibility and compromise. On another count, Italy remains committed to continuing to do its very best to alleviate the humanitarian plight of the Somali people. There will be a new meeting of the Somalia Aid Coordination Body on 29 and 30 May in Rome to examine the humanitarian assistance needed for Somalia.”

4. “Furthermore, we were pleased to learn that for the second time since the 20 January meeting arranged by Ambassador Cassini, Aidid and Ali Mahdi Mohamed met again on 10 April last. More meetings must follow, because the only way to resolve problems is through talks and personal contacts, not through confrontation and, above all, not through continued distrust. Needless to say, Osman Atto must also join in these meetings. In the end, when the story of this period of Somali history is written, these men should be proud to be remembered as peacemakers and not as warmongers. Italy is working very closely with two neighbours of Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya, to make a tripartite mission to Mogadishu in the near future. This is another testimony of goodwill towards the Somali people.”

5. “It is indeed high time that all sides, particularly the National Salvation Council and Hussein Aidid, took one step back and showed some flexibility so as to reach a pragmatic agreement on a new institutional arrangement. Some parties are reportedly considering the possibility of constituting another provisional government, even before a comprehensive agreement has been reached. Frankly, this hypothesis raises concern, since the presence of two self- appointed governments with conflicting claims to legitimacy could only increase tensions rather than alleviate them. In what we consider to be a positive development, the National Salvation Council instead endorsed the contacts under way to pacify Mogadishu and widen the national reconciliation process.”

6. “The National Salvation Council, which was established by the Sodere agreements, met for the first time from 4 to 8 April in Mogadishu. As has already been noted here, unfortunately, not all factions attended the meeting, nor did Hussein Aidid or Egal of Hargeisa. However, the decisions made at that meeting, particularly the one to convene a National Conference, seem to move in the right direction. To be successful, the national conference for which we hope should be comprehensive, fully reflecting the inclusive approach that was the hallmark of the original Sodere agreements. Nobody can afford to repeat past mistakes and past absences. Unlike previous gatherings, the forthcoming Conference must indeed be attended by all the main faction leaders, as well as by representatives of Somali civil society.”

7. “Developments in Somalia in recent months seem somewhat more encouraging. As has been said repeatedly around this table, the Nairobi understanding of 15 October, the Sodere agreement of 3 January and the Mogadishu meeting of 20 January testify to the efforts of several countries and also to the renewed focus of the Somali factions on the need for peace. We welcome the constructive involvement of the Organization of African Unity, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development and the League of Arab States - particularly Egypt - as well as the more active role played by the United Nations Political Office for Somalia (UNPOS) and the contacts its representatives have made with the Somali leaders in Mogadishu. Now more than ever, we believe that all these efforts must be coordinated and intensified.”

8. “Through our contribution to the United Nations missions and throughout our two years as a member of this body, we have tried again and again to find workable solutions to the crisis. Above all, we have tried very hard to keep alive the flame of hope for and trust in a better future for Somalia. Since leaving the Council, we have been pleased to note that it continues to monitor closely the situation in Somalia. Today's debate is a further confirmation of this. We are indeed very grateful to the Council President, Ambassador Monteiro of Portugal, for calling this public meeting. We hope the meeting will be publicized in Somalia through the media and through every other possible means, so that the Somali people may know directly and personally that the international community has not forgotten them and cares about their plight.”

9. “In the vacuum left, Somali civil society has struggled to reorganize at the local level on both the ancient and the new foundations of the communities and on the foundation of the hard work and heavy sacrifices of its people, particularly those of women. Luckily, elders have also continued to be a source of legitimate authority. In this regard, I believe that the ingenuity and the resilience of the Somali people deserve to be recognized and appreciated. These qualities do not, however, supplant the need for a unified State with legitimate central authority and a federal system granting local communities broad powers of self-government. In the dark years, Italy has not wavered in its commitment to the rebirth of Somalia.”

10. “Since January 1991, Somalia has been a country without a Government, without laws, without public order or public services, and without any food security. It has become a country in which, alas, life itself has come to be of little value. The country disintegrated before the very eyes of the international community, while a new type of threat to international peace and security was ushered in, a threat to which the United Nations has so far been unable to respond. In fact, a number of missions, in particular the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM. II), were sent to Somalia to restore peace, but to no avail.”

In this perspective, the Council affirms that Iraq is required to allow the Special Commission to remove the missile engines from its territory.

"The Security Council reaffirms that a full accounting for Iraq's missiles with a range greater than 150 kilometres is a necessary prerequisite to enable the Commission to report that Iraq has complied with the requirements of section C of resolution 687 (1991).

In this regard, the Council deplores the refusal by Iraq to allow the Special Commission to remove approximately 130 missile engines from Iraq for analysis by a team of international experts under the Special Commission.”

Another essential aspect of the peace process is full cooperation by the parties with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. We fervently hope that the parties' commitments will translate into concrete collaboration. We also share the general concern at the need to provide the Tribunal with adequate resources.

Despite substantial progress in the peace process, to consolidate these achievements the international community must take a careful look at the future. The parties should renew their determination to respect commitments freely entered into and work towards full stabilization of the region. The international Force will undoubtedly play a major role in this regard.”
