1. “After a period of relative peace and stability, during which we witnessed a partial resumption of normal life in Monrovia and in many other parts of Liberia, the peace process in that country has once again suffered a major setback as a result of renewed factional fighting among the warring parties. Although this turn of events is very unfortunate, it was not totally unexpected, as the developments that led to it were evident. Indeed, the Secretary-General had predicted this development in his report of 1 April 1996, a few days before the outbreak of the ensuing fighting. We are witnessing a descent into chaos and confusion in Liberia. However, this Council should dispel any confusion regarding the cause of and the solution for the present debacle in that country.”

2. “Permit me at the outset, Sir, to congratulate you on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council during the month of May. We are assured that the Council's business is already in wise, cautious and impartial hands. Let me also seize this opportunity to thank Ambassador Somavia, Permanent Representative of Chile, for the excellent manner in which he conducted the affairs of the Council during his presidency. My delegation is grateful to you, Mr. President, for organizing this open debate on the situation in Liberia. We have read with keen interest the Secretary-General's latest report on the situation. We find it comprehensive and instructive.”

3. “These acts also show that some of the parties have not got the message that such activities and such atrocities will not be tolerated by the international community and that, in any case, they are clearly unhelpful to the future peaceful coexistence of all ethnic groups in the territory. We therefore call on the parties to turn a new page in the history of the Balkans, one that will emphasize tolerance, peaceful coexistence, diversity and accommodation. The practical application of those virtues is long overdue in that region of the world. My delegation will vote in favour of the draft resolution before us.”

4. “We therefore reiterate our call on the Bosnian Serbs to give immediate and full access to the relevant United Nations agencies, as well as the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), to the areas where these atrocities appear to have taken place, so that the whole truth may be told. We further call on those concerned to do nothing to tamper with evidence or attempt to conceal or damage such evidence. Furthermore, we urge the parties in the former Yugoslavia to cooperate fully with the Prosecutor and the International Tribunal for the prosecution of those responsible for serious war crimes. The recent widespread looting, burning and destruction of houses and other property, in particular, by Bosnian Croat forces after the Dayton Agreement is particularly regrettable and must stop immediately.”

5. “In this regard, we have read with grave concern the latest report of the Secretary-General, further confirming earlier reports that there is overwhelming evidence of a consistent pattern of summary executions, rape, mass expulsions, arbitrary detentions, forced labour and large- scale disappearances in the areas of Srebrenica, Zepa, Banja Luka and Sanski Most, all in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. That report further highlights the fact that the Bosnian Serb forces and their paramilitary allies were responsible for the atrocities. More worrisome is the indication contained in the report that the full scale of the horrors has yet to be properly investigated and revealed.”

6. “My delegation welcomes the recent positive developments in the former Yugoslavia, because we believe sincerely that they could usher in an era of peace in a region that has been ravaged by war in the last four years. However, the prospect of peace may not fructify unless there is justice for the many victims of the war. In several instances, that war has been conducted with almost total disregard for applicable international law, as well as laws governing the treatment of civilians and of prisoners of war in civil conflict.”

7. “Let me, finally, appeal to all members of the international community to see to it that the end of UNAMIR's mandate in March 1996 is not used as a pretext to curtail worthwhile and badly needed financial and material assistance to the Government and the people of Rwanda. There should be life for the United Nations in Rwanda after the departure of UNAMIR. Even as they take their destiny into their own hands, Rwandans of all persuasions will still need our help for a very long time to come.”

8. “UNAMIR will not be able to deliver assistance in those concrete forms - at least, not directly - but it could help create and contribute to something that is intangible and unquantifiable, yet very essential: a climate conducive to the provision not only of assistance but also of reassurance for the refugees. My delegation will therefore vote in favour of the draft resolution. We shall do so, however, on the understanding that, even when UNAMIR's mandate expires on 8 March 1996, the continued presence of the United Nations, as stated by the Secretary-General in paragraph 51 of his report, will be necessary. In this connection, we shall support the continuation of the good offices mission of the Secretary-General, headed by his Special Representative.”

9. “We are therefore happy to note that it has been possible, in this draft resolution, to find a basis for the renewal and continuation of UNAMIR, with a mandate that is appropriate to the current realities in Rwanda. We thank the Government of Rwanda for having demonstrated such flexibility and understanding of the views and sentiments not only of the friends of Rwanda, but also of members of the international community as a whole that are willingly committed to doing something positive and right for Rwanda at this time of national difficulty. There is no doubt that what the Government and people of Rwanda now need most is economic and financial assistance for reconstruction, rehabilitation and rebuilding.”

10. “The concern of the Government of Rwanda that the existing mandate of UNAMIR is not well suited to the current needs of the Government and people for reconstruction, rehabilitation and rebuilding has much merit. My delegation sympathizes with this view, which was taken by the Rwandan Government not lightly but, rather, as the result of a thorough assessment of the situation on the ground. We respect the position taken by the Government of Rwanda in its sovereign decision. None the less, given the efforts that were exerted to ensure the second deployment of UNAMIR last year, and on the basis of our conviction that even in this relatively improved security climate UNAMIR still has useful contributions to make to improving the overall situation in Rwanda, we certainly do not want UNAMIR' s mandate to be terminated abruptly.”

11. “We therefore request the Secretary-General to continue his consultations with the countries of the region in order to find a basis for the holding of such an important and useful conference. With regard to the International Tribunal for Rwanda, we hope that it will soon overcome its remaining administrative and procedural problems so that it can contribute to the process of national reconciliation. This is why we are particularly encouraged by the news, which we heard this morning, that the Tribunal has already handed down its first indictments. We therefore thank those countries that have contributed investigators for the Prosecutor's Office. With respect to UNAMIR, we believe that it has discharged effectively the tasks and duties assigned to it. My country is happy to have contributed troops to UNAMIR.”

12. “We therefore urge the international community to provide the necessary support and assistance. Concerning the problem of the Rwandan refugees, my country believes that repatriation must be voluntary, safe and orderly. This inevitably has a regional dimension. In this connection, our hope is that the impetus generated by the Cairo Conference, under the auspices of President Carter, will not be allowed to dissipate and that all concerned will indeed implement faithfully and promptly the agreements and commitments registered at that Conference. None the less, it is the View of my delegation that the Cairo Conference, useful as it was, cannot be a substitute for a United Nations conference co-sponsored by the Organization of African Unity.”

13. “We hope that the International Commission of Inquiry investigating reports of military training and illegal arms transfers will complete its work soon and that its findings will enable the Security Council to find ways of addressing the problems. My delegation agrees that a return to stability, security and harmony in Rwanda is largely dependent on national reconciliation. This process can be facilitated only if conditions conducive to the return of the approximately 1.6 million refugees currently residing precariously outside Rwanda are created and if those suspected of involvement in last year's genocide are brought to justice. We know that the Government of Rwanda has been doing its best, within its very limited resources, to create those conditions. However, the Government cannot do it alone.”

14. “We are happy to note that a climate of relative security and stability continues to prevail in Rwanda and that some improvements in the socio-economic sectors have occurred. Another positive and significant development is in the area of justice, where the first effective steps towards revival of the national judicial system have occurred, with the appointment of the Supreme Court on 17 October. None the less, we remain concerned about the tense security situation, particularly along the borders. The continued infiltrations of armed persons from the refugee camps in countries neighbouring Rwanda, particularly Zaire, are largely responsible for this situation.”

15. “Permit me, at the outset, to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of December. Your well-known diplomatic skills and experience and, in particular, your great sense of humour assure my delegation that, this month at least, the Council will be in excellent hands and that we shall have a quiet Christmas, for which we thank you in advance. Let me also take this opportunity to thank Ambassador Al-Khussaiby and all the other members of the delegation of Oman for their effective stewardship of the Council's affairs during the month of November. My delegation is grateful to the Secretary-General for his comprehensive report on the situation in Rwanda, including the activities of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR).”

16. “Without their efforts, the conditions in the Balkans could have been worse, and would have been worse, and a conducive climate for the recent peace talks may not have been created. In concluding, my delegation hopes that the parties in conflict in the former Yugoslavia will now give peace a chance. They must translate the promise of peace on paper into peace in action, and it is only in this way that the international community will be in a better position to help concretely in building lasting peace in that region.”

17. “Later today we shall, hopefully, be adopting a draft resolution on the Basic Agreement on the Region of Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirrnium, which was signed on 12 November 1995, between the Government of the Republic of Croatia and the local Serb representatives. Let me say that my delegation welcomes the Agreement and calls upon the parties to it to implement fully their commitments thereunder. As we look ahead to the next crucial phase of the peace process - that of the actual implementation on the ground of the various aspects of the agreement, which will entail a reconfiguration of the force that will oversee its implementation - my delegation at this stage would like to thank all those who have served under UNPROFOR for their tireless sacrifice in stabilizing the situation and saving perhaps thousands of lives.”

18. “In this regard, Annex 1 B of the Agreement, concerning regional stabilization, is a necessary and important corollary to the lifting of the arms embargo, and we urge all those concerned to abide by the spirit as well as the letter of that Annex. With respect to the suspension of the sanctions against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), this is consistent with our belief that sanctions should not be punitive in and of themselves, but should be designed to modify the behaviour of Governments. We would hope that this flexible approach to the question of sanctions would be applied to other sanctions regimes, as objective conditions on the ground do change.”

19. “To this extent, and consistent with my Government's position, my delegation is able to go along with the thrust of the draft resolutions as a package that is meant to underpin the Peace Agreement and thus promote the overriding goal of peace and stability in a region that has recently been ravaged by war. Let me, however, make the following specific comments with regard to each of the draft resolutions. Concerning the draft resolution on the lifting of the arms embargo, my delegation hopes that none of the parties will View this as a license to relaunch any military campaign. We would like to hope that the lifting of the arms embargo will play a positive and reassuring role by ensuring that all the States of the region will have the means to defend their respective sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

20. “My delegation would also like to pay deserved tribute to all the States and Governments that have worked assiduously for peace in the region. We must pay special tribute to our Secretary-General and the Secretariat for their tireless efforts in the cause of peace. The General Peace Agreement requires a lot more work and painstaking negotiations in the weeks and months ahead if we are to make the peace process truly irreversible. We therefore hope that all parties will deploy the necessary efforts in this regard. The two draft resolutions before us are testimony to the Security Council's concern for the situation in the former Yugoslavia as well as the readiness of its members to give all the necessary assistance and support to the parties by creating an enabling environment that will assist them to implement the Agreement.”

21. “We are particularly delighted that the three leaders did not allow the opportunity offered by the Dayton talks to slip away, despite enormous difficulties and hurdles to transcend. This development, in our View, represents an important breakthrough in the peace process. Although it is just one step in what undoubtedly remains a long and difficult journey to peace, we none the less believe it represents the best opportunity thus far to end the conflict. We therefore call upon all the parties to sign the General Peace Agreement, when the signing takes place, as expected, in Paris in a few weeks' time. In the meantime, we urge them to refrain from any activities that could destabilize the fragile truce on the ground.”

22. “Furthermore, since joining the Security Council my delegation has supported all well-meaning proposals, either in the form of resolutions or presidential statements, that have been adopted by the Council with the aim of moving the peace process forward. It was in this context that we supported the proximity talks that were recently concluded in Dayton, Ohio, here in the United States. And today my delegation is happy to join in welcoming the initialling, on 21 November 1995, of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Annexes thereto by the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Croatia, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the other parties thereto.”

23. “The former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was a friendly country with which Nigeria enjoyed years of fruitful and mutually beneficial relations. We have therefore supported all the peace efforts and diplomatic initiatives that have been aimed at reaching a comprehensive resolution of the crisis in the country. As testimony to that concern, my country was one of the very first to contribute a battalion of troops to the initial United Nations peace-keeping operation deployed in Croatia in 1992; even now our personnel are part of the military observer component of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR).”

"The Security Council reaffirms its concern at the appalling situation in the Rwandan prisons. In this respect, it welcomes measures initiated by the Department of Humanitarian Affairs, in coordination with the international community and the Government of Rwanda, to alleviate the intolerable conditions in Rwandan prisons. It calls on the international community to continue its assistance in this regard and encourages the Rwandan Government to continue its efforts to improve the situation in the prisons. The Council underlines the importance of parallel action by the Rwandan Government to restore the Rwandan judicial system and requests the international community to assist the Rwandan Government in this urgent task.”

"The Security Council reaffirms its View that genuine reconciliation as well as long-lasting stability in the region as a whole cannot be attained without the safe, voluntary and organized return to their country of all Rwandan refugees. In this respect, the Council welcomes the joint efforts of Rwanda, neighbouring countries and UNHCR to speed up the voluntary return of refugees through, inter alia, the work of the Tripartite Commissions. The Council underlines that, in order to foster the process of national reconciliation, an effective and credible national judiciary has to be established.”

The Council welcomes recent efforts to improve relations among the States in the region, which should help pave the way for the proposed Regional Conference on Peace, Security and Development.
