  1. “It is for this reason that we are seeking the support of the Security Council and the adoption of the draft resolution before it. Peace cannot be exported to our subregion. We must create domestic conditions that are conducive to the restoration of peace in Liberia, and this is what Yamoussoukro IV is all about. This is all we are seeking from this Council,”

  2. “The war in Liberia is not a natural disaster. It is a man-made disaster; therefore, it can only be settled by a man-made solution. Our first and pre-eminent challenge today is the restoration of peace in Liberia in particular and the consolidation of democracy in our subregion in general. It was in this spirit that the Yamoussoukro IV Accord was adopted by our Heads of State. The successful implementation of our collective commitments under Yamoussoukro IV depends largely on the adoption of the draft resolution before the Security Council, which calls for a general arms embargo. If crimes and atrocities are to be controlled, we must control the weapons with which they are committed, and we must resolutely put an end to the easy availability of those deadly weapons. Peace, after all, is the bedrock of all our hopes.”

  3. “The tragedy in Liberia which is impading our efforts to achieve our socio-economic goals is unfolding daily and assuming more and more critical dimensions. Today we are witnessing an increased waste of material and human lives, particularly the lives of those patriotic peace-keepers. These atrocities are inflicted upon our people in Liberia by senseless and unpatriotic warring factions, thereby not only impeding the good work of our Heads of State and Government but also making our subregion one of the largest producers of refugees. These warring factions are law~breakers, destroyers of the constitutional rights and liberties of our people in Liberia and, in fact, ultimately the destrovers of free and democratic States in our auhranion, Ena: This is the truth and reality of the Liberian situation.”

  4. “The purpose of our presence here today is to seek further support and assistance from the Security Council in resolving the Liberian conflict. The a..: of ECOWAS since its inception has been to achieve economic development for our people to improve their living standards and to promote their dignity as a people, thereby ensuring global security in our subregion. Still, our shared aspirations in the economic and security fields continue to form the solid foundation of our subregional organization, ECOWAS, vis-a-vis our bilateral relations. As the Council is already aware, we cannot achieve economic development in a climate of instability and disorder, for prosperity and war cannot coexist. A climate of peace and tranguillity is a necessary condition for any meaningful development.”

  5. “Your support is a great source of encouragement to Liberians in particular and to all Wast Africans in general in their attempt to resolve the problem in Liberia and its attendant human suffering. In the same vein, I should also like to extend my delegation's sincere thanks and appreciation to the Secretary-General of the United Nations for his request to the international community for humanitarian assistance for Liberia. Indeed, General Assembly resolution 46/147, entitled: "Assistance for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of Liberia", strikes a deep chord of gratitude in our hearts, and we wholeheartedly convey our thanks to all those who have been contributing financially and materially to this noble and humane objective.”

  6. “I should first of all like to join my colleagues who have already spoken in congratulating you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month and to thank you and all the members of this body for kindly accedirg to the request of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) for the convening of a meeting of the Security Council to consider the situation in Liberia. Under your wise guidance ond competent leadership our deliberations will, I have no doubt, be brought to a successful conclusion. I should also like to express my delegation's appreciation for the Council's earlier expression of support for the people of Liberia in recognition of the useful role ECOWAS has been playing in finding a just, peaceful and lasting solution to the Liberian conflict.”
