“Nelson Mandela, on 10 May; the termination of apartheid rule in South Africa; and the creation of a new South Africa in which all ethnic groups coexist in equality and harmony constitute a historic milestone in the cause of liberation of the South African people. This victory has not only helped the South Africans to free themselves from the shackles of apartheid but has also made magnificent contributions to the cause of eliminating racism in civilized society. The Chinese Government and people heartily rejoice at this historic victory achieved by the South African people. In recent years, with the help of the international community and through the protracted efforts of the South African people, the situation in South Africa has undergone a number of positive changes.”

“Today the Security Council will adopt a resolution on the lifting of the arms embargo and other restrictions against South Africa. We have also learned that the Organization of African Unity (OAU) has already admitted South Africa as a member. These developments attest to the fact that a new, united, democratic and non-racial South Africa is standing proudly among the 21 nations of the international community. This new nation is bound to have major impact on peace and stability in the region and the world as a whole. The successful conclusion of the general elections; the assumption of office by the newly elected President, Mr.”

“Mr. Li Zhaoxing (China) (interpretation from Chinese): First of all, the Chinese delegation would like to express its satisfaction and gratitude, Sir, at seeing you preside over today's formal meeting of the Security Council. Coming, as you do, from a great country that is part of a continent full of vigour and vitality, we are confident that under the guidance of your rich diplomatic experience and wisdom this meeting will be recorded as an important and successful one in the annals of the United Nations. On behalf of the Chinese delegation, I would like to join my colleagues in welcoming Mr. Thabo Mbeki, First Executive Deputy President of South Africa, to our meeting. I also wish to thank His Excellency for the important statement he made earlier in the meeting.”

“The two sides should accept the futility of resolving the question of Rwanda by military means and should understand that national reconciliation can be achieved only when swords are genuinely turned to ploughshares after a cease-fire and when they recommit themselves to resuming the peace process initiated by Arusha Peace Agreement. Thirdly, the two sides should closely cooperate with the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, with UNAMIR and with the international community's peace endeavour. At the same time, they should adopt every possible measure to ensure the safety of United Nations personnel and of those engaged in humanitarian relief activities. Fourthly, in the course of settling the crisis in Rwanda, attention should continue to be given to the role of the OAU and the countries neighbouring Rwanda.”

“In order to realize the objective of the draft resolution and the final goal of national peace in Rwanda, we hold the following views: First, the conflicting Rwandese parties should cease forthwith massacring each other and agree to an effective and lasting cease-fire so as to create the conditions necessary for an improvement in the humanitarian situation and the settlement of the conflict through negotiations. Secondly, the Arusha Peace Agreement is the framework and bridge agreed by the two Rwandese sides for the peaceful settlement of the conflict in Rwanda.”

“Based on humanitarian considerations, the Security Council has agreed, after repeated consultations, to expand the mandate of UNAMIR and increase the number of its personnel with a view to improving the humanitarian situation and the security environment in Rwanda, and alleviating the people's suffering. This is a reflection of the international community's good will and its sincere desire to create conditions for the early restoration of peace and security in that country. From the start, we have followed closely the development of the situation in Rwanda, and we sincerely hope that the civil war will be brought to an early end and that peace and stability will be restored, thus enabling Rwanda to embark on the road of political stability and economic development.”

“Ntaryamira, President of the Republic of Burundi, the situation in Rwanda has worsened quickly, with civil war engulfing the whole country and its people being plunged into an abyss of misery, creating a huge exodus of refugees into neighbouring countries. The humanitarian situation in the country is getting increasingly grave. The Chinese delegation is greatly concerned with these developments. Yet the international community has not forgotten the sufferings of the Rwandese people. The United Nations, the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and the States neighbouring Rwanda have made various efforts to help the two Rwandese sides to achieve a cease-fire and resume, through negotiations, the peace process initiated by the Arusha Peace Agreement. Meanwhile, humanitarian relief supplies are being delivered to the refugees in a steady flow.”

“Mr. Li Zhaoxing (China) (interpretation from Chinese): On 4 August 1993 the Rwanda Government and the Rwandese Patriotic Front signed a Peace Agreement in Arusha, and following this development the Security Council adopted resolution 872 (1993) on the establishment of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR), which reflected the support of the international community for the peace process of Rwanda. For a time after that the situation in Rwanda witnessed some positive developments. Unfortunately, since the death of His Excellency Major-General Habyarimana, President of the Rwandese Republic, and Mr.”

“The Chinese Government will, as always, continue to support the Palestinian people in their just cause for the restoration of their legitimate national rights and will promote the peace process in the Middle East. The Declaration of Principles signed by the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel last year marks a breakthrough in the Middle East peace process and is an important step towards the harmonious coexistence of the Arab and Jewish nations. This progress is hard-won. The peace process in the Middle East is now at a crucial juncture, and we should not fall short of success for lack of a final effort.”

“This incident has shown once again that with the question of Palestine still unresolved it is very difficult to avoid such atrocities completely, and that there will be no tranquillity and peace in the Middle East. The international community and the parties concerned should recognize the urgency and sensitivity of this question and continue without delay to make tireless efforts to find a comprehensive, fair and reasonable solution to the Palestinian question. It is the consistent position of the Chinese Government that a political solution to the question of the occupied Arab territories should be sought on the basis of the relevant United Nations resolutions, that the occupied Arab territories should be returned and that the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people should be restored.”

“Mr. Li Zhaoxing (China) (interpretation from Chinese): On 25 February a very tragic massacre committed by a Jewish settler occurred in Hebron, in the West Bank, killing and wounding hundreds of innocent Palestinians. The Chinese Government is deeplyshocked by this extreme act of terrorism and violence, and expresses its strong condemnation of it. The Chinese delegation wishes to ask the Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations to convey its profound condolences and sympathy to the State of Palestine and through it to the bereaved families. We call on the Israeli Government to take all measures necessary to put an end to such atrocities.”

“However, we have also noted that many questions in the peace process still await solutions. We therefore hope that the parties concerned will seize this opportunity to seek appropriate solutions at the ongoing substantive talks. We urge the parties to effect a cease-fire forthwith, repatriate refugees and displaced people as soon as possible and create conditions in which the United Nations can continue to play its role in Georgia of assisting the two conflicting parties to further promote the peace process for the comprehensive political settlement of the question of Georgia.”

“The Secretary-General has pointed out in his report dated 3 March 1994 that without early political progress fighting could be resumed before long and might spread to other parts of the Caucasus region. The Chinese delegation is deeply concerned over this. The Chinese delegation has always advocated settling disputes through peaceful negotiations. In our view, in the peace process for the comprehensive settlement of the question of Georgia, the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Georgia should be respected by the international community. At the same time, the interests of various ethnic groups of Abkhazia should be guaranteed. With the mediation of the Secretary-General and his 12 Special Envoy, the parties to the conflict have already held three rounds of talks and achieved certain progress.”

“Mr. Li Zhaoxing (China) (interpretation from Chinese): First of all, on behalf of the Chinese delegation, I should like to welcome His Excellency Mr. Eduard Shevardnadze, President of the Republic of Georgia, to today's formal meeting of the Security Council and thank him for the introductory report on the situation in Georgia. His statement will help members of the Council to understand better the current situation in Georgia. Since the conflict erupted in Abkhazia, in the Republic of Georgia, the humanitarian situation in Georgia has deteriorated continuously, with a sharp increase of refugees and displaced people, causing huge losses of life and property.”

“The final solution to the Sarajevo question depends on the comprehensive political settlement of the question of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We hope that through the efforts of various parties the humanitarian situation in Sarajevo will continue to be improved and that essential public services and the lives of the inhabitants will be restored to normal as soon as possible so as to help bring about a comprehensive political settlement of the question of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

“When considering additional safe areas, it will be necessary to conduct a serious review of whether the expected results have been achieved in the safe areas already established and whether in the present circumstances the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) has sufficient human and financial resources to perform additional tasks. Otherwise, it is highly possible that a decision made in haste could become a mere scrap of paper. This is something no one wishes to see. The sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a State Member of the United Nations, should be respected by the international community. Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, should be maintained as a united city and a multicultural, multi-ethnic and pluri-religious centre.”

“On the basis of humanitarian considerations, the Chinese delegation voted in favour of the resolution. All along, China has advocated that conflicts should be settled by peaceful means through dialogue and negotiation and has opposed the use or threat of force. In our view, further military action in Bosnia and Herzegovina will make the situation there more complex, and might even endanger the ongoing diplomatic efforts of the parties concerned. We therefore have reservations on the invoking of Chapter VII of the Charter in this resolution. We maintain that the establishment of safe areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina is only a temporary measure, and not a fundamental solution.”

“The Bosnian Croats and the Bosnian Muslims have just signed a framework agreement in Washington. Progress has also been made in opening the Tuzla airport. We wish to say that we sincerely welcome these developments and hope that the parties to the conflict will earnestly implement the agreements already reached. The international community, including the United Nations, which has made a number of efforts in this regard, should encourage them to continue to promote the peace process for a comprehensive political solution to the question of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The main purpose of the resolution just adopted is to improve the humanitarian situation in Sarajevo and to restore water, electricity and other essential public services there so as to reduce the suffering of the local people.”

“Mr. Li Zhaoxing (China) (interpretation from Chinese): Let me congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for this month. I am confident that with your wisdom, talent and rich diplomatic experience, you will provide excellent guidance for the success of our work. I also wish to thank your predecessor, Ambassador Olhaye, for his tireless efforts, which left a deep impression on us. Recently, with the help of the international community, the parties in Bosnia and Herzegovina have made efforts for the political settlement of their conflict. This has led to some relaxation of the situation in the war-ridden area. The agreements between the Bosnian Serbs and the Bosnian Muslims on a cease-fire and the withdrawal of heavy weapons from the Sarajevo area have basically been implemented.”

“For the same purpose, the Secretary-General has recommended that more United Nations police monitors should be sent to Mozambigue, which, in his view, will help achieve a smooth preparation for the general election and enhance the peace process. The Chinese delegation shares his view and will vote in favour of the draft resolution, which supports this recommendation. The successful implementation of the General Peace Agreement depends, in the final analysis, on the Mozambican people themselves, and the key lies in a broadly-based national reconciliation. As long as there is political will, the existing difficulties can and should be removed.”

“The peace process in Mozambique is now at a crucial stage, and there is not much time left before the general election, which, according to the General Peace Agreement, is to be held in October this year. We sincerely hope that the two parties in Mozambique will continue to take practical and effective measures in cooperation with ONUMOZ, and to implement fully the General Peace Agreement and the relevant Security Council resolutions so as to ensure that the general election will be held on schedule. At the same time, the international community, including the United Nations, should continue in every way possible to help the people of Mozambique to reach this goal so that Mozambique will be able to set out on the road of national reconstruction and economic recovery.”

“Mr. LI Zhaoxing (China) (interpretation from Chinese): With the help of the international community and through the efforts of the two Mozambican parties, a number of encouraging results have been achieved in the Mozambique peace process, among which I would like to mention in particular the many rounds of talks and the cooperation between President Chissano and Mr. Dhlakama, President of RENAMO, as well as the approval of the Electoral Law and the appointment of the National Elections Commission by the Mozambican National Assembly. Meanwhile, the paramilitary forces, the militia and the irregular troops in Mozambique have all started to demobilize, which undoubtedly will facilitate the general election.”

“The Chinese delegation sincerely hopes that the Somali parties will, in the interests of their country and nation, cooperate with UNOSOM II, the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and others so as to implement in earnest the relevant Security Council resolutions within the framework of the Addis Ababa Agreements, thus creating conditions for an early political settlement in Somalia and enabling the Somali people to embark on the road of national reconstruction and economic recovery. The Chinese Government and people have all along attached great importance to the developments in Somalia and have profound sympathy for the sufferings of the Somali people. We shall, as always, continue to work with other members of the international community and make our contribution to the comprehensive political settlement of the Somali question.”

“The experiences and lessons of the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM II) have shown that the fundamental and effective way to settle the Somali question is by peaceful means. Resort to coercive military actions will only serve to complicate matters. The second option recommended by the Secretary-General is also in S/PV.3334 17 conformity with this principle in its advocacy of non-use of coercive measures to achieve disarmament by the Somali parties themselves. For this, we wish to express our appreciation and support. We understand that the draft resolution does not, in essence, run counter to this principle either.”

“The twists and turns in the Somali situation have made the international community increasingly aware that the ultimate solution to the Somali question lies in the Somali people themselves, and the key to this solution is the realization of broadly based national reconciliation. The international community has the obligation to help promote a political solution to the Somali question in order to obtain a lasting peace in Somalia. The Organization of African Unity and Somalia's neighbouring States can play an important and unique role in this regard. The draft resolution we are going to adopt reflects this strong aspiration of the international community. The Chinese delegation will therefore vote in favour of it.”

“We are glad to note that these two points have been reflected in the Communique signed by the two sides on 13 January and have become the fundamental principles for the comprehensive settlement of this conflict. We have all along advocated the settlement of this dispute through peaceful negotiations. We have noted that with the mediation of the Secretary-General and his Special Envoy, the two parties to the conflict have held two rounds of negotiations in Geneva and signed the Memorandum of Understanding and the Communique, respectively. All these are welcome developments.”

“Extending the mandate of the United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia will be beneficial in creating the conditions for carrying out humanitarian relief and repatriation activities as well as in avoiding further conflict so as to construct a lasting peace. Consequently, the Chinese delegation supports the recommendation of the Secretary-General and voted in favour of the resolution just adopted. In our view, in seeking a solution to this conflict, the international community should fully respect the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia, and the interests of the multi-ethnic inhabitants of Abkhazia should also be guaranteed.”

“Mr. LI Zhaoxing (China) (interpretation from Chinese): The Chinese delegation is deeply concerned at the developments in the Republic of Georgia. We have noted that the humanitarian Situation in Abkhazia, Georgia, is still deteriorating. The armed conflict has resulted in enormous losses of life and property and in large numbers of refugees and displaced persons. For this, we wish to express our profound concern and sympathy. As the Secretary-General points out in paragraph 21 of his report (S/1994/80) on the question of Georgia, "The roots of this dispute go back many years" with "deep enmity between the two sides", and "the present cease-fire ... is not based on a written agreement". Such developments are bound to affect the stability of that region.”

“We sincerely hope that all parties in South Africa will seize this historic opportunity, put the interests of the nation and the people first, overcome their difficulties and adopt effective measures to stop the violence in order to ensure that the elections are held on schedule. Thus the parties would be attaining at an early date the lofty goal of building a united, democratic and non-racial South Africa, and they would be contributing to the peace, stability and prosperity of Africa as a whole. China, together with the international community, will continue to make a contribution to the political settlement of the South African question.”

“The first non-racial elections in the history of South Africa are to be held in April 1994, marking a major event in the political life of the South African people. That event has already drawn wide attention from the international community. We note that with the assistance of the international community, and in particular the United Nations, the OAU and the African countries, preparations for the elections are already under way. We support the measures suggested by the Secretary-General to ensure the smooth conduct of the elections, as well as his proposal to expand the mandate of the United Nations Observer Mission in South Africa (UNOMSA). Based on this position, we voted in favour of the draft resolution just adopted. It is our belief that the success of the elections in South Africa depends on the South African people themselves.”

“In this regard, we expres our profound appreciation to the Secretary-General, his Special Representative, the Organization of African Unity (OAU), the European Union and the Commonwealth for their unremitting efforts over the years to resolve the South African issue. China has, from the beginning, sympathized with and supported the South African people in their just struggle against apartheid and for racial equality and democratic rights. We favour the peace process in South Africa and advocate the settlement of the South African issue through political negotiations. We highly appreciate the determination and will of all the parties concerned to seek a political settlement of the South African question, and we condemn all violence, which is undermining the peace process.”

There has been a series of developments in the peace process there. The South African Transitional Executive Council has been established and has been playing a positive role. The South African Parliament has adopted an interim constitution by an overwhelming majority, marking a new chapter in the history of South Africa.”
