  1. “We are encouraged that some positive steps have been made on the Boundary and Claims Commissions and on the successful repatriation of prisoners of war and internees. The United States has worked hard with the parties, colleagues here, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations, UNMEE and the Organization of African Unity to help move this process forward. We will continue our efforts and we support the critical work being done by UNMEE and others. In this regard, we share the concern expressed that the parties need to take important steps to bring about peace and stability in their area. One of the most important things they can do is to ensure that the return of internally displaced persons is carried out in a careful manner, not a precipitous one.”

  2. “We are very grateful for the briefing just provided by Under- Secretary-General Guehenno. We would like to congratulate the Secretariat on the progress achieved in establishing the Temporary Security Zone and, in particular, on the work done by Special Representative Legwaila in dealing with the two capitals. Deploying the Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE) has become a real model for peacekeeping operations and much of the credit goes to the troop contributors. The establishment of the Temporary Security Zone is the third real milestone in the Ethiopia-Eritrea peace process. We had the June Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities, then the December peace agreement, and now the Temporary Security Zone.”

  3. “The United States would like to welcome Foreign Minister Miranda back to the Security Council for this important meeting. Today the United States is pleased that Portuguese Ambassador Monteiro will speak for us in his capacity as coordinator of the troika of observer States to the Lusaka Protocol. The United States subscribes fully to the statement that he will make and would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his outstanding service here, both to his country and to this Organization. We wish him well on his next assignment and look forward to welcoming his successor.”

  4. “By establishing UN OMIG, the Security Council showed that it was prepared to help those who are helping themselves. Since then the process has reached a stalemate. The message of this renewal resolution is clear: now is the time for the parties to return to the table and to achieve real progress toward a political settlement and the return of refugees and displaced persons in secure and safe conditions.”

  5. “When the Council comes to consider the future of UNOMIG in May, we, and I trust other Council members will look closely and seriously at the entire situation to determine whether continuation of this Mission is justified. The United States delegation hopes that the Secretary- General's reports will give the Council reason to act favourably in this regard, but we must be realistic. Recent history does not paint an optimistic picture. The Abkhaz party bears a strong burden of responsibility for the absence of progress. By declaring themselves a sovereign nation, Abkhaz leaders have violated their commitment to reaching a mutually acceptable settlement with the Government of Georgia. The Council has rightly expressed its deep concern about this act and indicated that that declaration has no standing.”

  6. “One stark set of facts hangs over the otherwise credible performance of the United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) and the peace-keeping force of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). We have witnessed the almost total absence of progress towards a political settlement of this conflict or towards the expeditious return of the tens of thousands of refugees and displaced persons to their homes in Abkhazia in safety and in dignity. The Council has asked the Secretary-General to report twice in the short period of four months on the status of the political process and on the return of refugees and displaced persons.”

  7. “At the same time, the United States delegation recalls that it is important for the Council to proceed cautiously when it decides how to structure its consideration of each matter before it. In particular, the form of Council deliberations should not compromise their function, which remains to achieve agreement in an expeditious manner on matters before it. With this proviso, we look forward to pursuing opportunities, on a case-by-case basis, to employ public meetings in the Council's consideration of its work.”

  8. “The United States welcomes the proposal to explore opportunities to make greater use of public meetings of the Security Council, including meetings at which non-members offer views on matters under consideration. This idea is a further important step in the Security Council's efforts to reform its working methods and procedures in order to make them more transparent, and to broaden and_ regularize opportunities for non-members to contribute to its work. The proposal before us builds on many innovations in Council procedure introduced over the last 18 months, including, most recently, consultations between troop contributors, Council members and the Secretariat on changes in peace-keeping mandates and the now-weekly briefings of non-members on Council business.”
