1. “I wish to say, first of all, that my delegation is happy to see the Foreign Minister of Liberia participating in our discussion today. Japan welcomes the Cotonou Peace Agreement. It is an important step towards the restoration of peace and security in Liberia, and I pay high tribute to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the Organization of African Unity, the Secretary-General and his Special Representative, Mr. Gordon-Somers, for their efforts to restore peace in Liberia. I am pleased to note that the cease-fire has generally held. In order to capitalize on this situation, it is important that an advance team of military observers be dispatched to Liberia as soon as possible.”

2. “Failure to do so would become a source of greater regret. For this reason, Japan supported the action by the Security Council, and it hopes that the Serb authorities will respond properly to this clear message.”

3. “Japan attaches great importance to the work of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE). Japan holds observer status in the Conference and has dispatched personnel to its mission to Yugoslavia. The mission certainly deserves our sincere appreciation. The Serb authorities have said they understand its importance, but if the necessary action is not taken the Serb side will be responsible for any escalation of tensions there. By the same token, any attempt to link acceptance of the mission with other questions is inappropriate. Monitoring of the area is necessary and is not a matter for bargaining. The situation in Kosovo and other areas cannot be allowed to become a greater threat to the peace and security of the region, and the international community must therefore address the situation in a timely and effective manner.”

4. “At the outset, let me congratulate you, Madam President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council this month. I also wish to express my appreciation to Ambassador Hannay, who presided ever the Council in an efficient manner during the month of July. Japan is gravely concerned over the situation in Kosovo and other areas. Let us recall the Tokyo Summit Political Declaration, issued by the countries of the Group of 7 on 8 July 1993, which stated: "Deeply concerned about the situation in Kosovo, we call upon the Serbian Government to reverse its decision to expel the CSCE monitors from Kosovo and elsewhere in Serbia and to agree to a significant increase in their numbers." Despite such appeals by the international community, the situation remains unchanged.”

6. “Mr, HATANO (Japan): Japan is gravely concerned by the escalation of fighting in the region of Nagorny-Karabakh. Japan condemns all hostile activities in the region, particularly the attacks on civilians and the bombardment of inhabited areas, and demands the immediate withdrawal of the occupying forces. My Government believes that, in order to relieve the tension, it is very important that all States refrain from supplying any weapons or ammunition to the parties to the conflict. At the same time, my Government is encouraged by the report that the authorities of Azerbaijan and Nagorny-Karabakh have signed a cease-fire agreement and that high-level talks between the two parties are expected to commence in the near future. Japan calls upon beth parties to honour the terms of that agreement and strictly observe the cease-fire.”

8. “Japan will continue to do its best to Support the Angolan people in their efforts to restore peace and to reconstruct their country. But at the same time I must stress that in the final analysis it is up to the Angolans themselves to establish a firm foundation for peace and social and economic reconstruction. I wish to welcome the presence here of African leaders participating in our debate, including Their Excellencies the Foreign Minister of Angola, the Foreign Minister of Namibia and the Foreign Minister of Zimbabwe. Let me now, on behalf of my Government, express sincere gratitude and appreciation to Miss Margaret Anstee for her splendid work as Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Angola under extremely difficult circumstances. I wish also to congratulate Mr.”

9. “The fact that the lives of 2 million people are now at risk and that those people are dependent on aid for their survial is truly deplorable. In March this year Japan extended additional emergency aid to the International Committee of the Red Cross in order to ease the suffering in Angola. Any attempt to deny access to relief aid by those who need it most is never justifiable. I strongly urge UNITA to cooperate with the resumption of humanitarian assistance activities. I also wish to emphasize the importance of post-conflict peace-building, as mentioned this morning by His Excellency the Foreign Minister of Namibia, not only as a means of preventing the recurrence of conflict but also as a means of promoting the peace process by giving hope to the parties in conflict and to the people of Angola for the future of their country.”

10. “It is encouraging that the Government of Angola and UNITA have both expressed their readiness to resume peace talks and facilitate humanitarian relief operations. But the ongoing and intensified fighting has deepened the mistrust on both sides, and further confidence-building measures may be required. I strongly hope that UNAVEM II and the Special Representative will exercise their important good offices and mediation functions to ensure that the direct talks will be successful. Under these circumstances, Japan agrees to the extension of the existing mandate of UNAVEM II for a period of two months. In the meantime, we urge both parties to return without further delay to the peace talks with a view to the immediate establishment of a cease-fire.”

11. “I think, Mr. President, I congratulated you last week, Japan is deeply disturbed by the deterioration of the political and military situation in Angola as fighting intensifies. Particularly reprehensible are the repeated attempts by UNITA to seize additional territory. UNITA must be made to realize that international society will not recognize its seizure of territory by force or its claim to an expanded power base. One of the main elements contributing to the intensification of fighting is the reported foreign military involvement in Angola. Japan insists, in the strongest possible terms, that all States refrain from providing any form of military assistance, particularly to UNITA. Further efforts by the international community might be necessary to ensure the full cooperation of outside countries.”

12. “As has already been stressed by previous speakers, it is essential that the elections be held no later than October 1994; all our efforts should be focused on that goal. Meanwhile, Japan is pleased to be a part of the United Nations peace-keeping forces in Mozambique. We will do our best in various ways to contribute to the peace process in Mozambique.”

13. “Despite these positive developments, Japan cannot but be concerned at the continuing delays and difficulties that have necessitated a revision of the original timetable for the implementation of the General Peace Agreement. Any further delay could seriously jeopardize the momentum that has been generated and even endanger the entire peace process. Japan therefore calls on both parties to demonstrate with actual deeds that they are committed to ensuring that the provisions of the Peace Agreement are implemented. In particular, the cantonment and demobilization of troops and the formation of the new Mozambican army are prerequisites for further progress. Japan hopes that the parties concerned will cooperate in good faith with efforts towards that end without introducing any new conditions that would cause further delays.”

14. “I wish to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency. The work of the Council will surely benefit from your guidance and leadership. I also wish to thank your predecessor, Ambassador Yanez Barnuevo, for the excellent manner in which he guided the Council's deliberations during the busy month of June. Substantial progress has been made in the peace process in Mozambique. The deployment of the United Nations Operation in Mozambique (ONUMOZ) is nearly complete; the status-of-forces Agreement has been signed; and the leaders of the two parties have agreed to meet together on 17 July. These are indeed encouraging developments, and they should provide a firm foundation for further efforts to advance the cause of peace.”

I have taken particular note of the statement by Ambassador Albright that the United States Government had compelling evidence of the direct involvement of the Iraqi Government in the attempted assassination of former United States President George Bush. Given such circumstances, my Government considers that there existed an unavoidable situation in which the United States Government could not help but take action. We condemn the involvement of the Government of Iraq in this unlawful assassination attempt. Further, we deplore the pattern of intransigent behaviour of the Government of Irag in ignoring relevant Security Council resolutions.”

17. “In view of the special and extraordinary circumstances prevailing in the territory, Japan supports the proposal contained in the resolution to expand the mandate of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) in the hope that this will prevent further bloodshed and preserve the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Japan stresses, however, that this proposal should be regarded as a means for achieving our Long-term and comprehensive objective of a just and lasting settlement of the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this connection, I look forward to receiving and studying the report by the Secretary-General on the implementation of this resolution,”

Japan continues to believe that the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina should be settled through negotiations, and the Peace Plan worked out by Mr. Vance and Lord Owen still remains the only viable means of achieving lasting peace in this area. Japan again demands that the Bosnian Serbs immediately cease all hostilities and return to the negotiating table without delay. The continuing occupation by the Bosnian Serbs of the territories they control through the use of force and by means of "ethnic cleansing" can never be tolerated.”

19. “The path towards lasting peace in Cambodia will not be easy, and a number of uncertain factors remain. The efforts by the Cambodians to help themselves, led by His Royal Highness Prince Norodom Sihanouk, and the verdict they have given will be crucial in this process. At the same time, the international community and the United Nations can and must assist the efforts of the Cambodians to ensure that the election will lead to the next step, the formation of a constituent assembly, and ultimately to the achievement of lasting peace and national reconciliation.”

20. “Japan appeals to all parties to respect the results of the election as a clear expression of the will of the Cambodian people for national reconciliation. The success of the election is due in no small part to the extraordinary efforts of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia under the direction of Special Representative Mr. Yasushi Akashi and his outstanding staff, and of those dedicated volunteers who came from every corner of the world to participate in this historic undertaking. Japan pays a high tribute and expresses its sincere appreciation to each and every one of them. As we are well aware, the election is not the end of the process but rather the first step towards the realization of peace and democracy in Cambodia.”

I also wish to convey the appreciation of my delegation to Ambassador Vorontsov for the exemplary manner in which he guided the business of the Council during May. That the election for the constituent assembly, which concluded last Friday, proceeded peacefully and has been declared free and fair is a source of profound satisfaction to my Government. That an overwhelmingly large Majority of the Cambodian people, almost 90 per cent of those eligible, exercised their right to vote demonstrates their strong desire to restore freedom and democracy to their country.”

23. “The selfless dedication with which the personnel of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) are discharging their tasks, often at great risk to their lives, has won the admiration and gratitude of the international community. The Government of Japan is concerned over the frequent attacks against UNTAC personnel and strongly condemns the parties or persons who have carried out these attacks, which have caused a number of injuries and deaths. While supporting the safety measures that have already been taken, Japan urges UNTAC to do its utmost further to tighten security and to ensure the safety of all United Nations personnel. The ultimate responsibility for building a peaceful Cambodia rests with the Cambodian people themselves.”

24. “Japan would like to express its support for, and satisfaction with, the resolution that the Security Council has just adopted unanimously. Its idoption, just three days before the election in Cambodia, is a clear expression of the Council's determination to pursue the peace process. This is a time when the commitment of the United Nations - indeed, of the entire international community - to the Cambodian peace process is being tested. Japan remains convinced that there is no alternative but to stay the course. The election shoui.d proceed as scheduled, and we call on all political parties to respect the results once the United Nations has certified the election as free and fair.”

25. “This reference by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is therefore regarded as a futile attempt to divert the attention of the international community from its own possible development of nuclear weapons. Time is limited. Iwo months have already passed since the Democratic People's Republic of Korea announced its intention to withdraw from the NPT. We call upon the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to take concrete steps, without delay and to heed the voice of the international community, as expressed in this resolution. If the Democratic People's Republic of Korea fails to respond positively and soon to the resolution we have just adopted, I am afraid the Security Council will be obliged to take up this matter again to consider further action.”

26. “Japan therefore urges the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to comply fully, unconditionally and immediately with its obligations under the safequards agreement with the IAEA. We also urge the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to retract its announcement to withdraw from the NPT contained in its letter of 12 March. Let me respond very briefly to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's reference to Japan's plutonium programme. Japan maintains the principles of not possessing nuclear weapons, not producing them and not introducing them into its territory. Japan is a party to the NPT and fully honours its obligations, including that of inspection under the safeguards agreement. Japan has fully cooperated with the IAEA and is counted as one of the countries where full safeguards are smoothly conducted.”

27. “These new developments have deepened concern throughout the international community regarding the possible development of nuclear weapons by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and have serious implications for the peace and security of the region as well as of the entire world. Indeed, the withdrawal by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons is a challenge to the non-proliferation regime itself. For those reasons, Japan cannot but join the international community in expressing grave concern. On 8 April the President of the Security Council issued a statement on this matter. Since then there have been signs of improved cooperation between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the IAEA, but we note that the key issues remain unresolved.”

28. “But let me say that in early 1992 Japan, and the international community as a whole, welcomed the fact that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea had issued a joint declaration on the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, and that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, after persistent appeals by the international community over a number of years, had finally concluded the safeguards agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). I must say that it is all the more deplorable that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea subsequently refused to accept the inspections stipulated in the agreement with the IARA and has decided to withdraw from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.”

We urge the parties concerned immediately to cease all military hostilities and other hostile acts, and to withdraw from the Kelbadjar district and other recently occupied areas of Azerbaijan. We believe that conflicts must be resolved through negotiations. In that respect, my delegation gives full support to the efforts being made by the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) and the Russian Federation. My Government also supports a possible initiative by the Secretary-General for lending technical assistance in the deployment of the CSCE monitoring mission. The international community must, and will, continue to follow this issue closely.”

My Government does not treat economic sanctions lightly; many innocent parties in and outside the former Yugoslavia will suffer as a result of this resolution, but this is a necessary price we have to pay for peace and justice in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the view of my Government, durable peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina cannot be achieved unless it is based on an agreement reached through negotiations between the parties concerned, The best hope ~ or the only hope - lies in the peace plan being promoted by the Co-Chairmen of the International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia, and I wish to express my highest respect and admiration to the Co-Chairman, especially to Mr. Vance, who is to leave this responsibility in the near future.”

As suggested in the Secretary--General's report (S/25518), we strongly invite the Government of Mozambique to conclude with the United Nations a status-of~forces agreement as soon as possible. Japan, for its part, wishes to contribute to the process of peace and rehabilitation in Mozambique. We will dispatch our self-defence-forces unit to participate in ONUMOZ. Japan also recently decided to extend emergency humanitarian aid in addition to the commitment it previously made to support the efforts of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to repatriate and reintegrate Mozambican refugees.”

35. “At the same time, however, the delay in the implementation of the Peace Agreement gives us cause for concern. Now that the United Nations Operation in Mozambique (ONUMOZ) is expected to complete its deployment in May, further delay in that implementation will raise very serious problems. One of the major reasons for the delay is, in our view, the lack of mutual trust between the Government and RENAMO. We appeal to both parties to maintain constant communication and to conduct, as may be necessary, meetings at a high level. We hope that President Chissano and Mr. Dhlakama will meet at an early date. In particular, my delegation is concerned at the various severe restrictions - including taxes, duties, registration and so on - which impede the free movement of ONUMOZ.”

I also wish to thank Ambassador O'Brien for his excellent performance as President during the busy month of March. Japan notes with satisfaction that the parties to the conflict in Mozambique have so far exercised restraint and that the cease-fire has largely held. An official mission my Government sent to Mozambique last month was encouraged by the people's strong desire for peace so that they can engage in the rehabilitation and reconstruction of their country. It is important for the United Nations and the international community to extend support for the efforts of the people of Mozambique.”

Japan will continue to explore, in close coordination with the United Nations, how it might best support the Somali people in their efforts for national reconstruction. In this connection, it is my delegation's view that the importance of job-creation efforts, such as vocational training programmes, as mentioned in the Secretary--General's report, should be stressed. Lasting peace and security and genuine reconstruction will not he possible without a broad political settlement. My Government urges the parties, movements and factions in Somalia to abide by the agreements which they themselves concluded in Addis Ababa in January.”

UNITAF has achieved great progress in establishing a secure environment for humanitarian relief operations in Somalia. While we in the Security Council should continue efforts to maintain and improve the environment for relief, I believe Somalia's need will be shifting to national reconstruction - political, social and economic. My delegation welcomes the results of the United Nations conference on humanitarian assistance for Somalia to review the relief and rehabilitation programme. In our view, the conference was useful in providing an important framework, not only for relief assistance, but also for putting Somalia back on the track to economic recovery.”

I believe the United Nations should continue to support the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) with a view to securing the peace and stability of the region and to implementing the relevant accords, in close coordination with the Organization of African Unity (OAU). Further efforts should be made to promote peace talks and the political-reconciliation process.”

As stated in the resolution, the Security Council will endorse the result of the election, provided it has been certified as free and fair by the United Nations, and will support the constituent assembly to be established accordingly. Japan takes this opportunity to appeal to ali Cambodian parties to likewise respect the outcome of the election, which is fundamental to the restoration of peace and stability in Cambodia.”
