1. “I should like to inform the Council that I have received letters from the representatives of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia and Ukraine, in which they request to be invited to participate in the discussion of the item on the Council's agenda. In conformity with the usual practice, I propose, with the consent of the Council, to invite those representatives to participate in the discussion without the right to vote, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Charter and rule 37 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure. There being no objection, it is so decided. At the invitation of the President, Mr. Misic' (Bosnia and Herzegovina) took a place at the Council table; Mr. Pashovski (Bulgaria), Mr. Nobilo (Croatia) and Mr. Zlenko (Ukraine) took the places reserved for them at the side of the Council Chamber.”

2. “To conclude, it is our sincere wish and hope that the developments in the upcoming months and the consolidation of the process of national reconciliation, which is still in its infancy, will make it possible for us to remove Liberia once and for all from the agenda of the Security Council. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. There are no further speakers. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on the agenda. The Security Council will remain seized of the matter. The meeting rose at 2.10 p.m.”

3. “The schedule for the implementation of the various stages of the 19 August Agreement is rapid and realistic. Disengagement, disarmament and demobilization of the troops will be crucial, as will be the reintegration of combatants into civilian life. We are also encouraged by the Secretary-General's report of a significant expansion in humanitarian assistance activities. The economic infrastructure of the country must be rebuilt so that Liberia can once again make full use of its rich natural resources. The international community should not fail to provide the assistance necessary to help set Liberia on the road to recovery.”

4. “But the growing awareness that six years of war had been completely in vain, the plight and weariness of the people, and the deadlock between the factions, set the groundwork for an agreement to be reached. We share the Secretary-General's assessment in his report that the prospects for peace are perhaps better now than they have been at any time since the outbreak of civil war. The main political leaders are directly participating in the Council of State. The States members of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have coordinated their policies towards Liberia, a fundamental factor, we believe, in making the peace Agreement possible. Credit is due first and foremost to Ghana, Chairman-in-Office of ECOWAS, and to Nigeria, which hosted the talks.”

5. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Italy. The agreement between all the Liberian factions at Abuja on 19 August marks a turning point in the Liberian crisis. The Italian Government wishes to express to the Secretary-General, Mr. Boutros-Boutros Ghali, and to his Special Representative in Liberia, its appreciation for their key contribution to, and support of, the Agreement. We hope that it will lead to a final settlement of the deep crisis that has ravaged the country for the last six years. The war took a huge toll on the country: 150,000 people lost their lives in the endless cycles of violence; 800,000 people were forced to leave the country.”

Here in the Council we shall all miss his enlightened presence. His presidency of the Council in the month of May was a paragon of judiciousness, efficiency and, above all, wit and good humour. In my own work, during the current month, I have found myself constantly looking back to the way he conducted our proceedings, and to his innovative approach to the delicate and critical matters which are always before us.”

25. “They should be seen in the context of a broader political and diplomatic effort by the international community - an effort meant to restore peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina and throughout the former Yugoslavia. Our final thoughts go to those who continue to suffer: the innocent civilians who have been forced to leave their places of origin and wander from place to place without homes, Without security and, until today, even without hope. In closing, let me assure them that my country will continue to do everything in its power to bring peace to an area so close to Italy - and close not only from a geographic point of View. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. The next speaker is the representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina, on whom I now call.”

26. “In short, they aim to put an end to all attacks against the safe areas, force the Bosnian Serbs to withdraw their heavy weapons from the exclusion zone of Sarajevo and grant full freedom of movement to the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) and the other humanitarian agencies. In other words, it is a question of convincing the leaders in Pale to honour the commitments that they themselves have made in the past. This, and only this, is the goal of an alliance - the North Atlantic alliance - of which Italy is proud to be a founding member, and in Whose air operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, after providing in the past substantial logistic support, it now participates directly with some of our aircraft. On several occasions in the past we have noted that these military operations must not be an end in themselves.”

27. “Hence, it is the duty of the international community to prevent the repetition of such attacks in the future. This, and only this, was the main purpose of the air attacks that NATO recently launched against Bosnian Serb military objectives, which were carefully selected in order to ensure effectiveness and to simultaneously limit collateral damage as much as possible. These initiatives were adopted in close coordination with the military authorities of the United Nations and of NATO, according to the new modalities illustrated in the Secretary-General's letter of 1 August. I wish to underline once again that the purpose of these air attacks is not punitive. As my German colleague rightly said, their purpose is to prevent any more horrible episodes, such as the recent massacre in Sarajevo.”

28. “Also, in view of the upcoming meeting in Rome of the Contact Group, my country will continue to join the international community in striving to restore peace to Bosnian and Herzegovina. However, this flicker of optimism and what has been called a ray of hope should not make us forget that the city of Sarajevo and the other safe areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina are still under direct threat from Bosnian Serb shells. The memory of the recent massacre in Sarajevo, in which 32 innocent civilians lost their lives, is still painfully clear to the mind and heart of Italian public opinion. On many occasions in the past we have declared that the practice of waging indiscriminate attacks against a defenceless civilian population is a particularly heinous practice that is totally unacceptable under every standard of civil society.”

29. “However, as pointed out by my Foreign Minister, the Honourable Susanna Agnelli, today's understandings constitute a first important step towards peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a step that must be consolidated as quickly as possible. These understandings can help lead to the implementation of the peace plan proposed by the United States, to which Italy and its European partners have contributed from the beginning, and whose terms and general approach it shares. We would also like to express our satisfaction over the emergence of mechanisms for managing the later phases of the negotiations, on the basis of close coordination with the action of the United States, the European Union and the Russian Federation.”

30. “We wish to congratulate all those who contributed to this success and to pay a special tribute, as has already been done by the representative of the United States, to the eminent American diplomats who lost their lives near Sarajevo only a few days ago while engaged in helping peace prevail. The good news coming from Geneva is, I believe, the highest tribute that could have been paid to their memory, as well as to the memory of all those who have lost their lives for the cause of peace in the former Yugoslavia. While recognizing the importance of this development, let us, however, not deceive ourselves into thinking that peace is very close at hand. In recent years too many hopes have been dashed, and too many agreements between the parties in conflict have been treated as simple chifions de papier.”

Today's meeting of the Security Council coincides with the arrival from Geneva of information on important, positive new developments in the crisis of the former Yugoslavia. The Foreign Ministers of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Croatia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) came to an understanding today, in that venue, on some agreed basic principles that will govern the difficult negotiations to come and on the text of a joint statement.”

The Secretary- General's latest progress report on Rwanda noted that the Governments in the region are fully aware of the fact that these illegal weapons have a highly destabilizing influence not only on Rwanda, but also on its neighbours. The report also emphasized the belief shared in the region that this traffic should be fought through collaborative efforts. The new Commission, it seems to us, is off to a good start, because it can count on the cooperation needed for a successful performance of its mandate. Let us hope that the results will meet expectations. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. There are no further speakers on my list.”

38. “What is more, this potential rearmament may obstruct national reconciliation, which must be based on a dialogue between all ethnic groups and be aimed at peaceful coexistence - a policy that can succeed only if Kigali is not constrained by the perception of external threats. In this respect, we are encouraged by the solemn appeal of the President of Rwanda, Pasteur Bizimungu, for the repatriation of refugees, which he made during the visit of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Mrs. Ogata. We hope that this appeal and the new Rwandan Government's policy decision will help to alleviate the fears of the refugees. My Government fully supports the resolution just adopted, because it is well aware of the crucial role that the International Commission of Inquiry may and should have.”

Convincing information exists that arms are being supplied to the former Rwandan government forces in violation of the current embargo. These allegations are creating ever more dangerous tensions, which are worsening the situation in the Great Lakes region. The international community is alarmed at the possibility of a large-scale rearmament of those responsible for last year's genocide, which is still haunting us. This potential rearmament is bound to increase the perception of insecurity and imminent danger in Rwanda.”

We bear an enormous burden, and we hope that the High Commissioner for Refugees, Mrs. Ogata, will promptly present her report to the Secretary-General for submission to the Security Council. We will then, once more, be in a position to make clear Zaire's intentions vis-a-vis the situation of the refugees on its territory. The President: I thank the representative of Zaire for the kind words he addressed to me. It is my understanding that the Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it. Unless I hear any objection, I shall put the draft resolution to the vote. There being no objection, it is so decided.

42. “In my country we say that one should not spit in the air, or the spit will fall into one's own face. I think my point is clear, and I hope it will benefit those who are today living in camps, deprived of their homeland. Zaire does not expel refugees. It authorizes them to return to their country. Where is the harm in that? We would remind the Council that there are, furthermore, provisions allowing us to take such action. In conclusion, I should like to express the appreciation of the Republic of Zaire to the Secretary-General, Mr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali, for sending to the region the High Commissioner for Refugees, Mrs. Ogata. She has just completed her mission in the region, and we are awaiting her report with impatience. We believe it could bring peace to this troubled region.”

43. “We are pleased that the Security Council is able today, through the draft resolution now before us, to get this Commission under way. But I should like to point out that Zaire has nothing to hide. This is shown by the fact that we are living with more than two million citizens of other countries on our territory. What do we have to hide? They are participating in trade. Does the 1951 Geneva Convention authorize refugees to conduct trade in the country of their asylum? Some around this table who have enjoyed the hospitality of the Republic of Zaire and who, thanks to Zaire, were able to escape massacre and, again thanks to Zaire, occupy posts in international organizations on behalf of the Republic of Zaire are today hurling insults at Zaire.”

44. “My country, the Republic of Zaire, wholeheartedly supported the establishment of such a commission of inquiry at the Bujumbura Conference last February. It was during that Conference that my country demanded an end to the unhealthy accusations levelled at Zaire by certain elements in the region. To put an end to those accusations, Zaire proposed that an independent commission could address them and establish the truth. It is now September. Zaire's request was made in February. One might say better late than never; but how long we have waited for this Commission to be set up. Some countries in the region put obstacles in its way. They did not want the Commission to be established - they did not want the truth to be established.”

I also wish to avail myself of this opportunity, Sir, to congratulate you on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of September. I know you personally, and your intellectual, moral and diplomatic qualities assure us that the Council is in good hands. The Council has before it a draft resolution establishing an International Commission of Inquiry into allegations of the supply of arms to the frontiers of the countries surrounding Rwanda. I referred to "allegations".”
