45. “Japan believes it is now incumbent upon the Security Council to act promptly and take appropriate measures to reverse this situation in Cambodia. In fact, various steps have already been taken by UNTAC to respond flexibly to the concerns of the one party in question, for example, by strengthening the verification mechanism and accelerating deployment of its civilian administration staff. The Party of Democratic Kampuchea should now respond to the concerns of the international community and cooperate with UNTAC by joining phase II. in concluding, my delegation wishes to emphasize the impoitance of adhering to the established timetable, which calls for free and fair elections to be heid by May 1993, and to this end it is essential that 411 parties honour their obligations under the Paris Agreement.”

46. “My delegation wishes to express its appreciation for the Secretary-General's report on Cambodia. As is noted in the report, considerable progress has been made in the deployment of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), and my delegation wishes to pay a tribute to the Secretary-General and Kin Personal Representative, Mr. Akashi, for their efforts in this regard. Like the previous speakers, Japan is concerned about the current difficult situation in Cambodia, where three of the parties have been cooperating with UNTAC, but the uncooperative and unrealistic attitude of one party has almost brought UNTAC's activities to a standstill and even poses a threat to full and timely implementation of the Agreements.”

47. “Although the Government of South Africa claims that it was not directly or indirectly involved in this violence, the South African authorities have the responsibility of immediately taking all necessary measures to bring an end to the violence and to guarantee public safety. A full investigation into the Boipatong incident must be carried out, and those found responsible duly punished. The Government of South Africa and other concerned parties can work together to ensure that justice is done and peace restored. The United Nations will render a useful contribution to this Process by dispatching a Special Representative of the Secretary-General. Further, Japan calls on the leaders of all parties concerned to renew their commitment to achieving a democratic, non-racial and united South Africa ae a through peaceful negotiations.”

48. “Japan wishes to express its deep concern over the recent violence in South Africa, particularly in Boipatong, which took a heavy toll in innocent human life and has disrupted efforts toward achieving a non-racial democracy representative of all South Africans. Regrettably, the political will to press ahead with the negotiating process within the framework of CODESA appears to have severely weakened. If the situation is allowed to deteriorate further and the negotiating process is not revived, all segments of South Africa's population will lose. A deeper crisis benefits no one.”

Japan is determined to continue to work for the solution of the difficult situation and for the elimination of international terrorism. Japan urges the Libyan Government to comply fully with the present Security Council resolution without much delay, possibly before 15 April. It is in the hope of gaining that compliance that my delegation has supported the adoption of the resolution”
