  1. “With the declaration of peace principles agreed upon in Geneva today, this is a critical moment for taking this fateful turn and finally freeing the world from relapses into the cold war, which are unfortunately now re- emerging.”

  2. “All these tragic circumstances - all the inconsistencies, this prevention of the legal Government of the Republic Bosnia and Herzegovina from defending itself and the caving in to the Pale criminals officially accused of war crimes - have yet to provoke the kind of worry that is now being demonstrated by some members of the Security Council because of the legal and justified actions that have been taken in order finally to stop and halt the terrorism, which today claimed another seven victims, wounded by the Serbian shelling of a civilian area in Sarajevo. The United Nations and the Security Council must in their actions be guided exclusively by norms and principles of the United Nations Charter and other important documents of international law, and not by momentary, partial and narrow-minded interests and other unprincipled motives.”

  3. “After this action, the question must be posed as to how it can be that the world tolerates the unchecked flow of arms, ammunition, fuel and other war materiel to the Karadzic Serbs, with all its fatal consequences, and at the same time stubbornly and unmercifully prevents any action to enable the legal Government of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina to exercise the inherent right of every Member of the United Nations to self-defence.”

  4. “This action clearly revealed the unlimited stockpiles of weaponry and ammunition available to the Pale Serbs and how disproportionately superior the terrorists are in heavy artillery and war materiel over the armed forces of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The action of the United Nations and NATO unpleasantly compromises the arms embargo, as a means of support to the aggressor and as a way of preserving its superiority over unarmed civilians and their defenders, and undoubtedly shows that the arms embargo affects only the legal Government of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

  5. “It came when more than 200,000 non-Serbs, a majority of whom were Bosnian Muslims, have been killed; when over 500,000 people have been wounded, many with lasting consequences; and when more than 1.5 million people have been expelled from the territories occupied by the Karadzic Serbs in genocidal ethnic purges. The United Nations and NATO action is being carried out very carefully with the intention of silencing the weaponry of unchecked terror or of moving it to a distance from which it will not be able to kill civilians on the streets of Sarajevo. It was undertaken only when Pale again sneeringly rejected the request that the same weaponry be withdrawn beyond the exclusion zone.”

  6. “Does this mean that the questioning of this United Nations and NATO action, whose goals are finally to stop this unbearable and unacceptable terrorism and degradation of the United Nations, is also an acceptance of the further sellout of respect for this world Organization as a barren club of debaters or even the return of the world to former times of confrontation and polarization which for decades gnawed at this world Organization? The present-day answer of the international community to the 41-month terror against civilians - which has reduced the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina to dust and cinders and deliberately wiped from the face of the earth invaluable treasures created on that territory over thousands of years - came, unfortunately, after a long delay.”

  7. “The air strikes against the military targets of the Karadzic Serbs are the only way to stop the terrorizing and the cold-blooded killing of innocent civilians in the safe areas and to protect these areas from possible invasions, such as those which recently happened in the safe areas of Srebrenica and Zepa. Since their establishment, the safe areas have in essence been deprived of everything needed for their survival by malicious, criminal cut-offs of water, electricity, gas and all kinds of communications with the outside world and by the incessant blocking of the United Nations Protection Force and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in carrying out their humanitarian missions and delivery of the necessary aid to our population.”

  8. “Allow me to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for the month of September. My delegation is confident that the Council will be on a safe and prudent course under your guidance. Further, I should like to express the deep appreciation of my delegation to His Excellency Ambassador Nugroho Wisnumurti of Indonesia for leading the work of the Council during the month of August. The Government of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina fully supports the United Nations and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) action against the military targets of the Karadzic Serbs, and considers that the legitimacy of this action is beyond doubt. This action is fully provided for in resolution 836 (1993), which all 15 members of the Security Council voted for.”
