  1. “I wish to conclude by recalling that Madrid was host to the signing, on 12 December 1996, of one of the important agreements between the parties: that on the basis for the reintegration of URNG into the political life of the country. On that occasion, my country also sponsored a forum for reflection on reinsertion and demobilization in Guatemala, which made it possible to put forward ideas and proposals to ensure that the international community was in a position to meet the requirements of the parties and the immediate needs for the implementation of the peace accords in that crucial aspect.”

  2. “The firm commitment to the peace process that my country has shared with the other members of the Group of Friends remains fully intact in this new and hopeful stage of reconciliation, reconstruction and development that is beginning in a climate of peace, freedom and democracy for the people of Guatemala. The participation of the President of the Spanish Government, Jose Maria Aznar, in the signature ceremony of the Agreement on a Firm and Lasting Peace, and the bilateral cooperation that my authorities have decided to increase considerably in pursuit of our assistance to Guatemala, are solid evidence of that commitment.”

  3. “The Security Council, with the decision that it is preparing to adopt today, must once again exercise the primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security conferred upon its members by the United Nations Charter. In this way, the presence of United Nations military observers in Guatemala will make it possible to verify the implementation of the agreement on the definitive ceasefire and for Central America to become a conflict-free region of true peace, freedom and democracy. My delegation wishes to stress Spain's readiness to participate in the exercise of this collective responsibility by making an important contribution of its own troops to this military component of MINUGUA.”

  4. “In his report of 17 December 1996 and its addenda of 23 and 30 December, the Secretary-General underscores the need to deploy United Nations military personnel through the authorization of the Security Council of an additional military component of 155 personnel for a period of three months for the United Nations Mission for the Verification of Human Rights and of Compliance with the Commitments of the Comprehensive Agreement on Human Rights in Guatemala (MINUGUA). The draft resolution before the Security Council, sponsored by Spain together with the other members of the Group of Friends, will authorize that deployment and will make it possible for the achievements of the negotiating process between the parties to begin to have concrete results on the ground.”

  5. “The agreement on the definitive ceasefire, signed in Oslo, is one of the pillars that will ensure the building of peace in Guatemala through the verification of the ceasefire, the separation of forces, disarmament and the demobilization of the URNG combatants. The mechanism for the verification of this agreement and for the other agreements signed between the parties has been entrusted to the United Nations.”

  6. “On that date the full set of peace agreements entered into force, having been concluded following a negotiation process in which the parties, assisted by the valuable moderation of the United Nations and the support of the Group of Friends, demonstrated their firm commitment to peace. The time has now come to implement the agreements reached and to apply the will of the parties and the wish of the entire people of Guatemala to lay the foundations for a firm and lasting peace, which must be ensured through the continued support of the international community, and of the United Nations in particular.”

  7. “Mr. Laclaustra (Spain)(interpretation from Spanish): Allow me at the outset to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for the month of January. I also wish to associate my delegation fully with the statement made by the Permanent Representative of the Netherlands on behalf of the European Union. On 29 December 1996 the Government of Guatemala and the Unidad Revolucionaria Nacional Guatemalteca (URNG) signed the Agreement on a Firm and Lasting Peace, bringing an end to a brutal conflict and opening a new page in the history of Guatemala.”
