“Indeed, we believe that the credibility of the United Nations is not particularly well served if, in moments of crisis, the United Nations prevaricates and takes positions which, in hindsight, are sadly mistaken. Nigeria sees the tasks now facing the international community in Rwanda as three-fold: humanitarian, security and political, all of which are closely interconnected. On the humanitarian level, urgent assistance is needed to attend to the needs of an estimated 2 million people who are internally displaced and the 1.5 million others suffering from the consequences of the severe famine and drought which confronted the country before the outbreak of the current hostilities. In addition, there are thousands of Rwandan refugees in the neighbouring countries whose needs have to be urgently addressed.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Nigeria. My delegation has made it clear on several occasions in the discussions on this subject that Rwanda's situation is an exceptionally tragic one requiring a solution which would, in large measure, have to be extraordinary. It is true that a desperate disease requires a desperate cure. My delegation also remains convinced that, while the Organization of African Unity and the neighbouring countries have an important role to play in efforts to halt the ongoing carnage and restore peace in Rwanda, the United Nations has an even more critical role to play in galvanizing international assistance for that troubled country.”

“Finally, the resolution we have just adopted welcomes the commencement of the deployment of the United Nations police observers as authorized in paragraph 2 of resolution 898 (1994) of 23 February 1994 and stresses the importance the Council attaches to the fullest cooperation of the parties with the police observers of ONUMOZ. Finally, my delegation appreciates the very important role which the international community has continued to play in Mozambique. We commend in particular the efforts of the United Nations, its specialized agencies and other humanitarian agencies operating in Mozambique. We appeal to them not to relent in their efforts or in their disposition to provide financial and humanitarian assistance until peace and stability fully return to Mozambique. That is when victory will be certain for all the people of Mozambique.”

“For a number of reasons, therefore, the resolution which we have just adopted is not only timely but also very appropriate. 14 First, it rightly extends the mandate of ONUMOZ to 15 November 1994, beyond the election date of 28 October 1994, to allow sufficient time for the operations to wind down and for the post-election dust to settle. Secondly, it calls upon the parties - in particular RENAMO - to comply fully with all the provisions of the General Peace Agreement, expedite the assembly of troops and accelerate the pace of demobilization of troops. Thirdly, with regard to the new Mozambican Defence Force, the resolution calls upon the parties to ensure that the maximum possible number of soldiers are trained for the Force before the elections take place.”

“Furthermore, the cease-fire has continued to hold throughout Mozambique andon 8 April both the Government and RENAMO entered into an agreement which bound the Government to expedite the assembly of troops and RENAMO to accelerate the pace of its demobilization to meet the targets of 1 June 1994 for the completion of the assembly of forces and 15 July 1994 for the completion of the demobilization process. On its part, however, the Security Council should ensure that any drawdown of the military components of ONUMOZ does not compromise the security environment which is essential for the conduct of free and fair elections, scheduled for October 1994. The Government of Nigeria is confident that Mozambique has every promise of a_ successful international effort in that country.”

“On the other hand, the Secretary-General's report noted the important development that the President of Mozambique had announced that the general elections would take place on 27 and 28 October 1994 and that, to that effect, the National Elections Commission had been inaugurated. Similarly, some principal officials have been designated and the President of Mozambique, Mr. Chissano, and the President of RENAMO, Mr. Afonso Dhlakama, have continued to have regular dialogue.”

“The Secretary-General's report, contained in document S/1994/511 of 28 April 1994, which constituted the basis for the present resolution noted, inter alia, three major difficulties which still have to be overcome before the due date of the elections in October. First, there are the continuing delays in the implementation of major aspects of the General Peace Agreement, in particular the assembly and demobilization of troops, militia and paramilitary forces, and the formation of the new Mozambican Defence Force. Secondly, the parties have been reluctant to provide 13 accurate information on the number of troops which remain to be assembled. Thirdly, only limited access has been given to the United Nations Operation in Mozambique (ONUMOZ) to military bases to verify military equipment.”

“I thank the representative of the Russian Federation for his kind words addressed to me. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Nigeria. The resolution which we have just adopted marks a very important step forward in the process of fulfilling the United Nations mandate on Mozambique. My delegation was pleased to vote in favour of it because it underlines the international community's abiding commitment to the peace process in Mozambique, which, if carried to its logical end, will enable the country to begin a new era of peace and development. We are also greatly encouraged by the sound and hopeful nature of the analysis of developments in Mozambique presented by my friend and brother Ambassador Pedro Comissario Afonso in his statement before this Council.”

“Establishment of Peace-keeping Operations "The Security Council recalls that the statement made by its President on 28 May 1993 (S/25859) stated, inter alia, that United Nations peace-keeping operations should be conducted in accordance with a number of operational principles, consistent with the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations. In that context, the Security Council is conscious of the need for the political goals, mandate, costs, and, where possible, the estimated time-frame of United Nations peace-keeping operations to be clear and precise, and of the requirement for the mandates of peace-keeping operations to be subject to periodic review. The Council will respond to situations on a case-by-case basis.”
