  1. “Finally, I should like to stress the importance of moving quickly to commence the process of encampment and demobilization, which will enable the Council of State to begin its work.”

  2. “We trust that adequate and appropriate coordination between all levels of command of ECOMOG and the United Nations Observer Mission in Liberia (UNOMIL) will enable both groups to operate in the complementary manner foreseen by the Council and the parties to the Agreement. The precedent set here of side-by-side operations by the United Nations and a regional group may have reverberations in other conflict areas which could perhaps be tackled in a similar manner if the world sees it work well in Liberia. Let me take this opportunity to reassure the brave troop-contributing nations that are willing to help Liberia out of its crisis that the United States Government is prepared to assist them in their efforts.”

  3. “As the Council is aware, the United States has a long historical link with Liberia and has watched developments there closely. We are therefore pleased to be a part of the international community's actions in support of the Agreement reached between the parties at Cotonou to lay their arms aside and move together towards a peaceful resolution of the tragic conflict there that has heaped such suffering upon their nation in recent years. The resolution just adopted by the Security Council should help to create the climate necessary for successfully building up the trust so vital to successful implementation of the Peace Agreement. The role of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) will be pivotal.”

  4. “With this resolution, we provide vital tools to the recovery, reaffirming our clear direction for the political process and reinforcing the Somali institutions that can best protect and foster that process. We are pleased at the quick action that the Council has taken on this resolution, so necessary to giving an added impetus at this critical juncture to the ongoing process of rebuilding Somalia's political institutions. My Government is pleased to have supported this resolution and sees within its framework a bright promise of a reconciled Somalia standing proud among its fellow nations of the world.”

  5. “The other critical step we have taken today is to lend support to the basic building-blocks of new political institutions: a police, judiciary and penal system. The police are the safeguard of the lives and property of all citizens in a civilized society. With the establishment of a strong, effective Somali police force, supported and overseen by a functioning judicial system, the Somali people will be free to take up again their normal lives, free from intimidation by the gunmen who brought starvation to this land. As Admiral Howe pointed out, the United Nations Operation in Somalia has accomplished a great deal in Somalia. Only a year ago, hundreds of thousands were starving to death. Today starvation is gone and Somalia is on its way back.”

  6. “My delegation would like to join other speakers in recognizing Admiral Howe for his outstanding work in Somalia. Today the Council has taken a most important action with regard to the United Nations Operation in Somalia. The resolution we have adopted does two crucial things. First, it sets out in clear, unambiguous terms that the United Nations principal goal in Somalia is to bring about political reconciliation in that long-suffering country. My Government has always seen the United Nations mission in Somalia as political in nature, helping the Somali people to re-establish their political structures and democratic institutions. Nothing is more important in Somalia than this political goal.”
