  1. “That is one reason why we support the prompt deployment of a second battalion in the demilitarized zone and continued implementation of the plan of operations suggested by the Secretary-General in his report of 24 September 1993 (S/26488). For all the above reasons the Czech Republic voted in favour of the draft resolution. (spoke in English) I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. There are no further speakers inscribed on my list. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on the agenda. The meeting rose at 6.35 p.m”

  2. “In this respect, my delegation is following with concern developments in a neighbouring country - Burundi - where the flight of refugees and the activities of paramilitary groups jeopardize the national process of political and social reconciliation and threaten to convulse the region at large. We are well aware that the prerequisites for extension of the UNAMIR mandate beyond the initial 90-day period have not all been met. Establishment of a transitional government would have been a sign of definite progress, but the parties have continued to show goodwill and cooperation. The fact that the cease-fire has been generally respected seems to be a step in the right direction.”

  3. “All parties to the dispute have already expressed a willingness to find a definitive solution based on the Arusha Peace Agreement. It remains to be seen, however, whether the hopes of the Rwandese people will be realized through the soon-to-be-established transitional government. The Czech delegation takes this occasion to express appreciation to the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and its member States for the good offices they provided to the process of national reconciliation. None the less, the balance of power is very fragile. The parties are only now regaining the confidence which was lost during the conflict.”

  4. “I thank the representative of Brazil for the generous words he addressed to me. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the Czech Republic. (spoke in French) The Security Council has just adopted a resolution based on the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda. The draft of that resolution was prepared following consideration of the situation regarding developments within the country. In respect of the situation in Rwanda, the Czech delegation is of the opinion that this dispute is nearing a settlement, provided that the United Nations continues to encourage the process by providing humanitarian assistance, its good offices and a direct presence. We have before us elements that encourage a peaceful settlement.”

  7. “It is my understanding that the Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it. Unless I hear any objection, I shall put the draft resolution to the vote. There being no objection, it is so decided. I shall first call on those members of the Council who wish to make statements before the voting.”

  8. “The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Security Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations. Members of the Council have before them the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda, document S/26927. Members of the Council also have before them document S/1994/11, which contains the text of a draft resolution prepared in the course of the Council's prior consultations. I should like to draw the attention of members of the Council to the following technical change to be made to the text of the draft resolution contained in document S/1994/11: the date in the last preambular paragraph should read "10 December 1993" instead of "12 December 1993".”

  10. “The Czech Republic began its term of office on the Security Council on 1 January 1994. At the same time it assumed the presidency of this important organ of the United Nations. This is a singular honour and responsibility that has been accorded to my country, which is barely one year old. It is a responsibility which we promise to carry out with dedication to the ideals of the Charter. In presiding over this first meeting of the Council in 1994, I am happy to welcome the other new members of the Council: Argentina, Nigeria, Oman and Rwanda. I am sure that I express the feelings of all members when I pay tribute to the representatives of the five outgoing members of the Council - Cape Verde, Hungary, Japan, Morocco and Venezuela - for the valuable contributions they made to the work of the Council during their term of membership.”
