25. “My delegation will cast an affirmative vote on the draft resolution before us. We believe that the sanctions contemplated in it are warranted and are a response commensurate with the tragedy unfolding before our eyes in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In voting for this draft resolution, it is not our intention to endorse action against Serbia and Montenegro, nor to impose hardship on their people. Our only intention is to assist in the creation of an environment conducive to the restoration of peace and tranquillity in Bosnia and Herzegovina that will allow a peaceful and negotiated solution for the internal problems of that Member of the United Nations to be worked out. We shall be glad to advocate and vote for the lifting of these sanctions at any time and as soon as Security Council resolution 752 (1992) is abided by and implemented.”

26. “If this Council is to be an effective instrument of international peace and security, as we think it should be, if this Council is to defuse crises - and potentially there are scores of them out there - then its message should be a clear and an unequivocal one. The Council, in our view, should at all times condemn and take prompt and appropriate measures against any aggressor and should act to prevent bloodshed, rather than reacting to atrocities and destruction. So long as there are nation-States, there will always be territorial conflicts, and the natural impulse to solve them unilaterally and by military means will tend to prevail whenever adequate and decisive action is not expected from this Council. My country believes that we should build on this deterrent role of the Security Council.”

27. “Yet the international community was not able to come to the rescue of the affected population. Indeed the violence against Bosnia and Herzegovina intensified in the last two weeks, a8 we were then unwilling and unable to take strong countermeasures to bring the carnage to a halt. Our non-action was, I am afraid, interpreted as a licence issued to the strongest to prevail. We believe that that was a mistake that should be avoided in future cases by this Council. As a small country our defence and security are totally based upon the ability of this Council to play effectively and decisively its primary role of maintaining international peace and security.”

28. “Mr. JESUS (Cape Verde}: Like the rest of the world, we are deeply disturbed by - indeed we condemn - the widespread use of violence in Croatia and in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The press reports and television images that come to our attention every day on the war being waged against the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina picture a horrible and tragic situation that has victimized thousands of innocent civilians, destroyed cultural and historical landmarks, hospitals and schools and brought immense suffering to the population. For months now the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina have been enduring mercilessly the effects of destructive policies and aims of Serbia and Montenegro that have left behind them a trail of repulsive atrocities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Croatia as well.”

29. “Secondly, we are of the view that sanctions are a measure that the Council should adopt only as a last resort, and that before sanctions are contemplated and decided upon, the Council, in conformity with the United Nations Charter, should endeavour to exhaust all possibilities for a negotiated peaceful solution. In the current case, we believe that had we had more time a negotiated solution might have been worked out for the surrender of the two individuals. For those reasons, we shall abstain in the voting on this draft resolution. We reiterate our strong condemnation of all acts of international terrorism and express our willingness to see the perpetrators of such crimes put on trial and punished in accordance with the law.”

30. “It would be more appropriate if the Council were to act after the International Court of Justice - which is now seized of this matter - had decided on what is the applicable law, if any, as to the issue of jurisdiction. Furthermore, and more importantly, as I explained in the process of the adoption of resolution 731 (1992) last January, the Constitution of Cape Verde does not allow the extradition of our own nationals. Therefore, it becomes difficult for us to endorse measures that could run counter to that constitutional principle of ours.”

The draft resolution poses some difficulties for us. First, while we strongly believe that the individuals who perpetrated the horrible crimes that caused the tragic accidents of Pan American flight 103 and UTA flight 772 should be brought to justice and punished accordingly, we believe that the norms of international law have to be abided by. We believe it to be very important that the judicial body of this Organization - the International Court of Justice - have a role to play whenever a legal issue is at stake, as mentioned in paragraph 3 of Article 36 of the Charter.”

The tragedies of Pan American 103 and UTA 772 are blatant, murderous examples of the destructiveness and inhumane character of terrorism, which Serves no purpose other than to cause the loss of innocent lives. We joined the outcry of the community of nations in condemning these two terrorist-induced accidents and urged ail those that have been engaged in this kind of macabre activity to discontinue it immediately and to abide by the basic civilized rules of human behaviour. We once again express our deepest feelings of sorrow for the victims' family members.”

For the sake of their country, for the love of their people and for humanitarian considerations, we appeal to all those involved in the conflict to cease their hostilities promptly and to cooperate fully with the Secretary-General in his peace-making efforts. We are glad to note that the Secretary-General has decided to send to Somalia, as soon as possible, a technical team to prepare an operational plan for a United Nations monitoring mechanism.”

We particularly value the Secretary-General's assistance in brokering cease-fire agreements between the two factions. We regret to note, however, that, as mentioned in the Secretary-General's report, the parties have not abided by these agreements. We urge - we demand - the parties concerned to respect the cease-fire agreements in order to bring the carnage of the Somali people to a halt and create the necessary conditions for a political settlement of the conflict.”

In attempting to find a solution to an episode related to specific circumstances - however pernicious that episode may be and however much it is to be rejected - one should not lose a sense of the broader perspective, and one should carefully resist the temptation to create a legal entanglement to which we might all fall victim in different circumstances.

44. “In voting in favour of the draft resolution before the Council, my country will signal its strong condemnation of international terrorism and its willingness to join its voice to those of others that want this abominable practice of violence eliminated. Our positive vote will also reflect our strong view that the authors of any such crimes should be brought to justice and punished according to the law. Our vote, however, cannot and must not be interpreted or construed in any way as favouring the setting of any precedent that could change the well-established rules and international practice on extradition. Like the constitutions of many other countries, our Constitution states, in its article 33, that in no circumstances should any Cape Verdean citizen be extradited from Cape Verde.”

45. “We have joined in the condemnation of the outrageous downing of Pan Am flight 103 and UTA flight 772. We share the pain and suffering of those who lost loved ones in these two tragic incidents. The authors of these heinous crimes should be tried and appropriately punished. These incidents have added much confusion and contributed substantially to a climate of insecurity in civil aviation. It is important - and it is high time - that the security of civil aviation be restored, so that anyone taking a plane can travel safely, without fear of any terrorist act. It is our hope that today's decision by the Security Council will be a positive turning point in that respect.”

46. “Cape Verde as a matter of principle condemns, in the strongest possible way, acts of international terrorism, by whomever perpetrated. Nothing can justify the use of violence against targets which causes the loss of life of innocent victims and creates a general climate of insecurity. We believe that international terrorism should be eliminated once and for all, and that the United Nations should play a major role in attaining that | goal. We call on all those that have in one way or another and for whatever purpose promoted, supported or engaged themselves, directly or indirectly, in acts of international terrorism to desist from that abhorrent practice, for it is wrong and attains no objective other than inflicting pain and suffering on innocent victims and their families.”
