  1. “By adopting the draft resolution, the Council would give hope to the homeless, the refugees and the displaced, whose suffering will end only when peace returns to Liberia and when normal constitutional life is retored. The Council's decision and the monitoring of its implementation will bring relief to the countries of the subregion.”

  2. “My delegation is convinced that, to that end, the early appointment of a special representative of the Secrstary-General would help the Security Council learn more about the tragedy in Liberia and the heavy burden it places on neighbouring countries and on other States of the subregion. The Security Council must meet this challenge to the international community in order to enhance its growing prestige and strengthen the credibility of the United Nations. By adopting the draft resolution before it, the Council would be granting justice to the thousands of men, women and children who have died, victims of intolerance and unsatisfied ambition.”

  3. “Like other psoples, the Liberian people aspire to the well-being promised by this new era of detente, but the weapons and the ambitions of their own sons stand in the way. This tragedy should not merely move us: it should mobilize the energy and the cooperation of States Members of the United Nations towards restoring the rights of the Liberian people. Moreover, resolving the Liberian crisis through dislogue would be a factor for the promotion of peace fully in keeping with the noble Charter mandate of the Security Council. Consistent with its fundamental principles of freedom, justice and peace, the Republic of Guinea urgently appeals to the Security Council to support the efforts of ECOWAS, ioter slia through the implementation of the Yamoussoukro Agreement.”

  4. “Aware of their responsibilities, the ECOWAS countries showed what courageous, positive ection a subregional organization can take when collective peace and security are threatened. After so much effort and sacrifice, ECOWAS now needs the support and cooperation of the international community in conformity with Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations. A nation is dying at a time when the ideas of peace and collective security are emerging in contemporary international relations as priority objectives to which the United Nations is committed. War is decimating and scattering a people at a time wien international relations are opening up to dialogue, solidarity and cooperation.”

  5. “That is why at the summit meeting at Dakar in July 1992 the ECOWAS Heads of State or Government, having considered the situation in Liberia, set a deadline of 30 days for that faction to demonstrate its willingness to rerpect the commitments it had freely entered ints. Renewed attacks by the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL) against the Economic Cosmunity Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) demonstrated the NPFL's lack of cooperation towards bringing peace to Liberia. This deterioration in the situation prompted ECOWAS, following the Abuja summit of Heads of State or Government in November 1992, to approach the Security Council to seek its involvement in the quest for a lasting solution to this painful fratricidal conflict.”

  6. “fo that end, ECOWAS ~ through the Standing Mediation Committee, the Committee of Five, the Committee of Nine and the various summit meetings of Heads of State or Government - has discussed the matter and on a number of occasions has organized talks amoag the warring partie:. Those talks led to the important agreements adopted at Bamako in November 1990, at Lome in February 1990 and at Yamoussoukro in October 1992. At Jakarta, the Non-Aligned Movement addressed this matter and expressed its support for the efforts of ECOWAS. But the repeated rejections and the obstinately belligerent attitude of one of the parties constitute the main obstacle to the implementation of the yarious agreements.”

  7. “I hardly need add that the spectre of death and desolation has caused a major migration of people tossed from Monrovia to neighbouring countries in search of asylun. In the face of this tragic situation, the subregion has devised and proposed to the parties to the conflict a peace plan and on intervention force with a view to restoring peace and sscurity. The peace plan is aimed at a peaceful solution of the conflict and calls for the followings an immediate cease-fire; the encampment and disarmament of troops; and the organization of free, fair and democra.ic elections.”

  8. “Mr, KOUYATE (Guinea) (interpretation from French): It is with a mixture of comfort and hope that my delegation has the honour to speak today on a timely question of great priority which calls for a prompt and effective response on the part of the international community in general and of Africa in particular. Indeed, since the outbreak of the Liberian conflict at the end of December 1989 it has brought to the martyred people of that land and the States of the subregion immeasurable consequences that jeopardize peace and security. As a rasult of the violence in that fraternal country, hundreds of thousands have lost their lives or their property. Am entire nation, once prosperous ard united, is being torn apart by rival factions whose only objective is quite obviously political power.”
