  1. “We also remain convinced that diplomacy and dialogue present the most enlightened approach to building understanding and to resolving conflicts in a modern and interdependent world." We thank the Council for the opportunity to present this statement.”

  2. “We wish to express our particular anxiety at the consequences a war will have not only for the region of the Middle East but for the entire world, and at the disproportionate burden that would be borne by small developing States, including those in the Caribbean, which are ill-prepared to cope with the impact of a global recession provoked by volatile oil prices, severe dislocation to their vital tourism and financial services sectors and falling levels of investment. "We the Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community reaffirm the commitment of the Caribbean Community to a just world order based on respect for the rule of law and social justice, and guaranteeing peace, security and sustainable development for all. We remain committed to international efforts to combat terrorism.”

  3. “In this connection, we stress that any unilateral action taken outside a United Nations Security Council mandate will undermine the integrity of the United Nations and considerably weaken the multilateral system and its machinery for preserving peace and security. "We are firmly opposed to the use of armed force at a time when it is clear that diplomatic efforts have not yet been exhausted and when the UNMOVIC and IAEA inspectors are reporting some progress and requesting more time to complete their work. We believe that it is essential for all States to support the work of the inspectors and to create the conditions to allow them to fulfil their mandate. "We urge the Government of the United States and its military allies on this issue to exercise restraint in their approach to this complex international crisis.”

  4. “"We reiterate that the United Nations, through its Security Council, has been charged with the responsibility for maintaining international peace and security. We are, therefore, deeply disturbed at the prospect of the use of military force in Iraq without the endorsement of the United Nations Security Council and in the absence of a final conclusion by the United Nations weapons inspectors that Iraq is in material breach of Security Council resolution 1441 (2002). "We are in total support of the position taken by the United Nations Secretary-General that 'this is an issue not for any one State alone, but for the international community as a whole'.”

  5. “We recall that the Security Council had compelled Iraq to cease the development and production of weapons of mass destruction and has obligated it to give total access to the United Nations weapons inspectors to verify its compliance with Security Council resolutions. "We appeal to Iraq to cooperate fully with all the requirements of UNMOVIC and the IAEA inspectors, and to fulfil its commitments to the United Nations and the international community in this regard. We are convinced that Iraq's full and transparent implementation of Security Council resolution 1441 (2002) will contribute to the easing of tensions and will strengthen the capacity of the United Nations to bring about a peaceful resolution of the situation.”

  6. “"We, the heads of Government of the Caribbean Community, having considered the situation developing over Iraq, wish to express our profound concern at the escalation of global tensions and their grave implications for the preservation of international peace and security. We are deeply troubled over the humanitarian tragedy that an outbreak of war will bring about and the disastrous effects which it will have on global economic stability. "We emphasize that no State should have the right to foster the development of weapons of mass destruction in any form, including chemical and biological agents.”
