Resolution 986 (1995) has just now been adopted unanimously, and we will be anxiously awaiting developments in the next few weeks that would indicate the position of the Iraqi authorities for, in fact, the spigot to the oil that is to be piped is, in the last analysis, in Iraqi hands, and it is now purely an Iraqi decision whether this resolution remains a dead letter or whether it is filled with real meaning.”

28. “We note with particular satisfaction that the resolution does not preclude the implementation of paragraph 22 of resolution 687 (1991) and that it reaffirms the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq, something my delegation has frequently emphasized in this Chamber. In addition to its importance for Iraq, however, this resolution has a far broader significance. Doubts are sometimes cast on the entire philosophy of sanctions, precisely because many observers feel that their burden falls unjustly and preponderantly on weaker strata of the targeted country's population. This resolution, if its provisions turn out in practice to have the effect we expect, may show a way of refining the generally blunt instrument of sanctions for other situations around the world.”

29. “Resolving it in all its aspects still depends on the activities of Iraq's leadership itself, on how completely and how expeditiously it responds to all the requirements of previous Security Council resolutions that are still outstanding. In this respect, the second important aspect of this resolution comes into play: it sends a clear signal to the Government of Iraq that the Security Council's position is not unjust or politically prejudiced. In this resolution, Iraq should see some reassurance that the same approach will be taken by the Council on other issues relating to that country. Most especially, by adopting resolution 986 (1995) we are not prejudging further developments that in the future might, and hopefully will, lead to the modification of the sanctions regime.”

30. “With this resolution, however, the Security Council is demonstrating very clearly that it has not forgotten the hard-pressed ordinary people of Iraq and that it is ready to go one last mile in order to provide mechanisms that could alleviate their troubles. We especially appreciate in this context the new wording of paragraph 8, in which the ordering of the distribution of payments clearly shows the priority accorded the humanitarian aspect and which also satisfactorily formulates the manner in which the aid will be distributed all over Iraq, including the northern part of the country. Nevertheless, the Security Council can still only alleviate, not resolve the humanitarian situation in Iraq.”

31. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of the Czech Republic. Resolution 986 (1995) is of tremendous importance for several reasons - first and foremost because it is a humanitarian resolution aimed at providing for the essential humanitarian needs of the Iraqi population. As a consequence of actions taken by its leaders, Iraq has been subject to a variety of United Nations sanctions. It was never the intention of the Security Council that the poorest, most vulnerable strata of the Iraqi public should suffer unduly under these sanctions. Many have felt that if they do suffer, it is a result of their leaders' rather callous attitude towards the distribution of wealth in the country.”
