  1. “The draft resolution before the Security Council today which, among other things, requests the Secretary-General "to appoint, as a matter of urgency, a Special Representative" and urges the international community "to maintain existing measures imposed for the purpose of bringing an early end to apartheid", receives the full Support of our 12 CARICOM member States. We urge full acceptance of its terms and piedge to maintain existing economic and financial sanctions against South Africa until an interim Government is established. Zhe PRESIDENT: The next Speaker is the Minister of External Relations of the People's Republic of Angola, His Excellency Mr. Pedro de Castro Van-Dunem.

  2. “The evil and the illegality of apartheid cannot long survive; thus, apartheid's peaceful demise would allow swift emergence of a democratically elected Government in South Africa. The sooner democracy comes to South Africa, the better off its citizens will be. However, should the South African authorities continue to seek to slow the process by encouraging violence which disrupts negotiations, then our 12 Heads of Government are prepared to play their part in remobilizing the international community to take decisive action.”

  3. “The gross inhumanity of this slaughter and its adverse implications for the negotiating process which is intended to lead to a free South Africa, moved our Heads of Government to pledge their fullest support for an international investigation of this massacre. Today, this historic Security Council meeting must succeed in bringing to an end the escalating violence in South Africa. The peace and security of the region is premised on a democratic, united and non-racial South Africa emerging from negotiations. The South African authorities must thus take all necessary measures immediately to stop the violence which deprives innocent victims of life; the authorities must exercise effective control of the police and security forces, for failure to do so returns the entire region to a state of grave danger.”

  4. “At the 13th meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of the CARICOM, which was held in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, from 29 June to 2 July 1992, our countries' leaders reviewed developments in South Africa as they have historically done at previous annual CARICOM summit meetings. They immediately joined in the call for an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council, issued at the time of their meeting by the Organization of African Unity (OAU) simultaneously convened in Dakar, Senegal. It was with a sense of disquiet that our Heads of Government examined the level of violence directed principally against members of the African National Congress and they specifically condemned the massacre of more than 40 innocent Africans at Boipatong.”

  5. “Mr. President, thank you very much for allowing me to speak on behalf of the 12 States that are members of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). I therefore speak tonight in one voice for the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago and, my own country, Antigua and Barbuda. I shall nevertheless be very brief. We are most pleased to see Cape Verde presiding over this eminent body at this moment in history, and we congratulate the Security Council for the important work it has urtertaken most recently in addressing so many international crises. Its focus upon Africa today is also most welcome.”
