  1. “The Chinese delegation holds that the Security Council should take immediate action to support the Secretary-General and his Special Representative in continuing their positive efforts to dispel animosity between the two parties and to bring them to dialogue through their good offices. We are therefore in favour of the continued stationing of UNAVEM II in Angola to help resume the implementation of the Peace Accords as soon as possible. In view of the above, the Chinese delegation will vote in favour of the draft resolution before us.”

  2. “Mediation and other kinds of efforts made by the international community should contribute to creating conditions favourable to this goal. We call on both parties to the conflict in Angola to immediately fulfil their commitments in accordance with the Peace Accords by ceasing all hostilities and seeking solutions through dialogue and negotiation, so that the hard-won peece process can be sustained and peace can eventually be achieved. We also call on both parties to the conflict to adopt all necessary measures to cooperate with UNAVEM II and to ensure the safety of United Nations personnel. Although the peace process in Angola has encountered a temporary setback, the United Nations and the international community should not stop working towards a political solution to the Angolan question.”

  3. “complicated, and the peace process is at a critical stage. In our view, the current pressing task for the international community and the United Nations is to make every effort to prevent the conflict from escalating, the war from spreading and the situation from further deteriorating so as to ensure peace and stability in the region. We therefore support the Angolan Government's principled position that no outside forces be involved in the conflict in Angola, and urge all countries to act in accordance with the relevant Security Council resolutions and desist from taking any action that could lead to increased tension and complicate the situation in Angola. In the meantime, we maintain that the question of Angola should be settled eventually by the Angolan people themselves.”

  4. “In order to bring the conflict in Angola to an early end and bring about national reconciliation and peace, the Secretary-General and the international community have made tremendous efforts, which have resulted in important progress towards a political solution to the Angolan question. However, the recent rapid deterioration of the situation and the recurrence of conflagrations of war in Angola are obstructing the peace process, resulting in heavy losses of civilian lives and property, creating enormous difficulties for the work of the United Nations Angola Verification Mission (UNAVEM IT), and putting the safety of United Nations personnel in serious jeopardy. The Chinese delegation is deeply concerned and disturbed at such a development. At present, the situation in Angola is complex and.”

  7. “As we understand it, according to the recommendations of the Secretary-General, the military operation authorized by the draft resolution is an exceptional action in view of the unique situation in Somalia, and its purpose is to create promptly a secure environment in a short period of time for the humanitarian relief effort iu Somalia. Once such an environment is created, the military operation should cease. Meanwhile, we maintain that the Security Council and the Secretary-General should be empowered to take decisions with regard to the control and duration of such an operation. The Chinese delegation deeply sympathizes with the Somali people in their abyss of suffering.”

  8. “Thersfore, the Chinese Gelegation will vote in favour of the draft resolution. However, we wish to point out that, in spite of the fact that the Secretary-General has been given some authorization, the draft resolution has taken the form of authorizing certain countries to take military actions, which may adversely affect the collective role of the United Nations. We hereby express our reservations on this. With regard to tho Somali situation, we hold that, in the long term, only through dialogue and consultation between the parties concerned can national reconciliation be achieved, disputes genuinely resolved and enduring peace and stability achieved in Somalia.”

  9. “Taking into account the long-term chaotic situation resulting from the present lack of a Government in Somalia, and in view of our deep sympathy with the Somali people in their anguish, we endorse the requests of most African countries and the recommendations of the Secretary~General, that is, that the United Nations should take prompt, strong and exceptional measures for the settlement of the Somali crisis. We have noted that the draft resolution to be voted upon reflects, to a certain extent, the recommendations of the Secretary-General and the concern of most countries, and incorporates some reasonable opinions expressed my many delegations, including the Chinese delegation, regarding such issues as the strengthening of United Nations control over the operation to be carried out by the countries concerned.”

  10. “Recently, the hwnanitarian relief effort has been subjected to repeated violent attacks and is literally paralysed by the further worsening of the situation in Somalia. As a result, ships carrying relief supplies cannot reach porte in safety, and the goods that have arrived at ports cannot be delivered safely. The number of casualties is increasing at an astonishing rate. The Chinese delegation is therefore deeply concerned and worried about this state of affairs. The Chinese delegation agrees with the analysis of the Somali situation made by the Secretary-General in his letter addressed to the President of the Security Council. We support the efforts to find ways by which the Somali crisis could be settled within the framework of the United Nations.”

I am confident that with your resourcefulness, talent and rich diplomatic experience, the Security Council will successfully complete its tasks for this month. I also wish to thank Ambassador Erddes, Permanent Representative of Hungary to the United Nations, for the tireless and widely apprec'ated efforts he made when he presided over the Security Council in November. The rapid deterioration of the situation in Somalia has aroused grave concern in the international community. The protracted conflicts and wars have inflicted huge losses of material, property and life upon the Somali people.”

  12. “Based on tiese Views, the Chiness & on this draft resolution. China has consistently strived to achieve a comprehensive political settlement of the Cambodian question. China has all along respected the choice mude by Prince Sihanouk, as well as that made by the people of Cambodia of their own free will. We hope and believe that the Cambodian people, under the leadership of Prince Sihanouk, will come through their difficulties and build a State of independence, peace and neutrality. China has worked tirelessly towards this end and, together with the rest of the international community, is ready to continue to make its own efforts.”

  13. “Hovever, the draft resolution also contains elements relating to sanctions and an election in which only three parties will take part. In our view, both sanctions and the three-party election are at variance with the Paris Agreements. Instead of helping solve the problems, sanctions will further increase differences and sharpen contradictions and could consequently lead to new, complicated problems in the Cambodian situation. Hence, we are not in favour of any form of sanction measures against any Cambodian party. Furthermore, in accordance with the Paris Agreements, if these measures affect a neighbouring State of Cambodia, the sovereignty of that country should be respected and its opinions fully heeded. Moaauwhile, we are deeply anxious about the possible adverse consequences that could result from a three-party election.”

  14. “It is also conducive to enduring peace and stability in Cambodia, thus representing the common aspiration of the Cambodian people and the international community. Therefore, the parties concerned should exercise restraint and continue their efforts to overcome difficulties and settle their differences through consultations so as to achieve the comprehensive implementation of the Paris Agreements. While the Paris Agreements are yet to be implemented comprehensively, the pressing task of the moment is to take effective measures to prevent further aggravation of contradictions and a recurrence of war in Cambodia. We agree with some of the elements in the draft resolution before us, such as the call upon various parties to fulfil their commitments to the cease-fire and to exercise restraint.”

  15. “China has made its own efforts for this purpose. We have adopted an attitude of treating all Cambodian parties impartially on an equal footing. We hope that all the parties in Cambodia will cooperate with UNTAC, earnestly implement the Paris Agreements and solve the problems in implementing the Paris Agreements in a patient and appropriate manner. China does not seek any selfish interest in the Cambodia question. The only objective that China strives to attain is to enable Cambodia eventually to become an independent, peaceful and neutral State through the comprehensive implementation of the Paris Agreements. The implementation of the Paris Agreements is the best way to achieve a comprehensive political settlement of the Cambodia question and the realization of national reconciliation.”

  16. “The Paris Agreements, which were hard-won results achieved through the concerted endeavours of all Cambodian parties and the international community, constitute the foundation for the comprehensive political settlement of the Cambodian question. Since the signing of the Paris Agreements, China has always stressed the importance of the comprehensive implementation of the Paris Agreements and strictly observed and implemented the principles and provisions of the Agreements. With regard to the problems encountered in implementing the Paris Agreements it is our consistent position that they should be settled with both determination and patience and that efforts should be made to reduce and resolve differences and to seek appropriate solutions through dialogue and consultation on the basis of the Paris Agreements.”

However, since the beginning of the second phase of the cease-fire in June this year, the peace process, for various reasons, has encountered difficulties. How to solve the problems encountered in the course of the implementation of the Paris Agreements has become an issue of common concern.”

The Chinese delegation's position on this question remains unchanged. As everyone knows, the competence of the Security Council is the maintenance of international peace and security. Human rights questions faii within the purview of the Commission on Human Rights, and not within the scope of the Security Council's mandate. Mr. van der Stoel is a Special Rapperteur appointed by the Commission on Human Rights. In our view, it is inappropriate to invite him to participate in a Council meetiag. The Chinese delegation therefore places its reservations on record.”

  22. “In the past three years or more tha international community, and especially ECOWAS, have made enormous efforts for the settlement of the Liberian question. In August 1996 ECOWAS dispatched peace-keeping forces to Liberia and, in November of the same year, helped the parties involved in the conflict reach a cease-fire agreement. In October last year the ECOWAS countries concerned held a summit meeting in Yamoussoukro and adopted the Yamoussoukro IV Accord on such questions as a cease-fire and "@hsarming forces of various parties in Liberia, thus bringing new hope for the political settlement of the Liberian question. We appreciate the efforts and positive proposals made by ECOWAS for a peaceful solution to the Liberian erisis, However, since October this year, the Liberian situation has once again undergone grave deterioration.”

The Pederal Republic of Yugoslavia will continue to issue its documents in the United Nations. It is our understanding that this is only a transitional arrangement. We hope that the membership of Yugoslavia will be settled in a proper manner and that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia eventually will have its place in the United Nations family.”

  49. “We should endeavour to maintain this momentum, It is our view that any action taken by the United Nations with regard to the 'nembership of the former Yugoslavia in the United Nations should contribute to the relaxation of tension in that region and promote a political settlement brought about by genuing negotiations among the various parties concerned. To isolate any of the parties concerned will not be conducive to the settlement of the question. Based on that principled position, the Chinese delegation abstained on the resolution adopted by the Security Council. Finally, I should like to point out that the resolution just adopted does not mean the expulsion of Yugoslavia from the United Nations. The name-plate "Yugosiavia" will be kept in the General Assembly hall.”

  50. “Mr. LI Daoyu (china) (interpretation from Chinese): It has been China's consistent position that the continuation of the membership in the United Nations of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia should be settled properly through consultations and negotiations among all parties of the former Yugoslavia. We hold that the former Yugoslavian republics should all be Members of the United Nations and that none of them should be excluded. Such questions should be dealt with cautiously. Recently the international community, including the United Nations, has made positive efforts and achieved certain progress in seeking a fair and reasonable settlement of the crisis in the former Yugoslavia.”
