“The situation will not improve until the Government of Irag decides to cooperate fully with the Security Council and the United Nations as a whole. Perhaps Iraq hag no other option.”

“The Deputy Prime Minister himself indicated a strong interest in this programme at the time of his last visit to the Security Council, but no compromise has been attained. Without an agreement on the export of 011, the Government of Traq continues to deny its own people access to their basic human needs. On the other hand, United Nations agencies and non-governmental organizations are making efforts to assist the people of Iraq. Japan appreciates the work of these organizations and wishes to express its continued support for their activities. The Security Council is always open to any United Nations Member State that wishes to present its concerns and grievances, and thus I welcome this opportunity to exchange views with the Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Tarig Aziz. However, there must be 20 misunderstanding.”

“The plight of Kuwaiti and third-country nationals who are being held prisoner in Iraq is also of concern to Japan. Although Iraq claims that it has allowed the ICRC free access to all places of detention and prisoners, its cooperation is hardly at the standard expected by the ICRC. During our meeting last March, I stated that the Iraqi Government does not have the right to interpret the Security Council's resolutions or to choose which provisions it will implement and which ones it will not. I must repeat that Iraq should comply fully with the provisions of all resolutions. In the past, Iraq sent a signal to the Security Council that it was ready to discuss seriously with the Secretariat the export of Iragi oil.”

“Only the Iraqi leadership can resolve the situation by complying with all the relevant Security Council resolutions. Iraq has indicated its readiness to implement many of the Council's resolutions, and some progress has indeed been made, but Irag still refuses to accept resolutions 707 (1991) and 715 (1991), which call for future monitoring by the Special Commission and the International Atomic Energy Agency (AEA). Oa the contrary, Irag demands the Council to change the terms and provisions of these two inportant resolutions. As has been stated by previous Speakers, Iraq continues to make territorial claims over Kuwait, and is escalating its campaign against the sovereignty of Kuwait. It denounces the decisions of the Boundary Demarcativn Commission and refuses to participate in the meetings of the Commission.”

“Since our meeting in March this year the basic Tragi position towards the relevant resolutions of the Security Council appears to be unchanged. Although we have heard Irag's representative assure us of its willingness to cooperate with the Council and implement Council resolutions, the Iraqi Government continues to malign the intentions of the Security Council, the Sanctions Committee, the Special Commission and other bodies whose work is authorized by che Security Council. Iraq has issued many letters describing the suffering of the Iraqi people as a result of the sanctions imposed by the Security Council. Japan is sympathetic towards the Iraqi people, who sre innocent victims of their Government's policy, and it supports the humanitarian efforts of the United Nations to ease their suffering.”
