“Throughout the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, particularly in the territories of Bosnia and Herzogovina and of Croatia, there have been systematic and massive violations of human rights, as well as grave violations of international humanitarian law. The practice of "ethnic cleansing" has been the direct cause of that situation. Through mass killings, persecution, discrimination, illegal detentions, torture, rape, summary executions, relocation of populations by force, forced labour, deportation of civilians, confiscation of property and destruction of homes, we have seen in Bosnian and Croatian territory the systematic elimination of one ethnic group by another. All of these acts deserve the condemnation and repudiation of the international community.”

“Mr. Martinez Blanco (Honduras) (interpretation from Spanish): Allow me to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month. We are well aware of your experience and your great professional qualities, and we therefore have no doubt that the work of the Security Council under your guidance will be crowned with success. I hardly need to say that, to that end, my delegation will provide all the cooperation we possibly can. We wish also to thank and congratulate your predecessor, Ambassador Gambari, and the entire delegation of Nigeria on the outstanding work they did last month in the Security Council.”

“My delegation hopes that the draft resolution now before the Council, on which my delegation will vote in favour, will contribute substantially to motivating the Belgrade authorities to continue to cooperate with the international community so that a just and lasting peace may be achieved in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and also so that in the near future the Council may consider definitively revoking the sanctions regime.”

“My delegation recognizes the importance of that collaboration, which was particularly in evidence during the recent negotiations in Geneva, which concluded with the signing of a joint declaration of basic principles, creating a new negotiating framework in that conflict. My delegation believes that maintaining the sanctions indefinitely would not really help to resolve the conflict in Bosnia, but we could hope that lifting them would help lighten the burden that they represent for the economic and social development of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and neighbouring countries, taking into account the hundreds of thousands of refugees who have sought shelter in the country because of recent events in the region.”

“So far this year we have regularly received reports from the Co-Chairmen of the Steering Committee of the International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia in which they have invariably certified that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is meeting its commitment to close the border with the Bosnian Serbs and fulfilling its unilateral decision of 4 August 1994 to break political and economic ties with the Serb leaders in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in order to influence them to agree to participate in the search for a peaceful, negotiated solution to the crisis in Bosnia, while also complying with the terms of the resolutions of this Council by which the sanctions were imposed. We therefore believe that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is attempting to contribute to the search for a just and peaceful solution to the Bosnian crisis.”

“We have taken due note of the conclusions of the Co- Chairmen of the Steering Committee of the International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia that the Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is continuing to meet its commitment to close its border with Bosnia and Herzegovina and that there have been no commercial transshipments across that border. We also note that the Conference's Mission enjoys freedom of movement in that country and that it is being given the cooperation of the Yugoslav authorities, which continue to enforce current legislation regarding the closure of the border.”

“The Liberian parties still have a number of tasks to accomplish in accordance with the timetable for the implementation of the peace Agreement, such as the separation, disarmament and demobilization of their forces. We therefore believe that the presence of UNOMIL is necessary, and we will therefore vote in favour of the draft resolution, which extends its mandate until 31 January 1996. Lastly, in order to back the peace process and the implementation of the commitments undertaken by virtue of the Agreement, the international community must provide all the material assistance that it can, either bilaterally or through the Trust Fund for Liberia.”

“We share the observation of the Secretary-General that, in spite of the signing of the Abuja Agreement and the assistance that the United Nations and the international community can give to the parties to implement it, the parties themselves must show with deeds their will to maintain peace. Although the signing of that Agreement represents substantial progress in the implementation of the Akosombo and Accra Agreements, in the final analysis it is the responsibility of the Liberian factions and political leaders to find a definitive solution to the political crisis and, to that end, to take advantage of the current positive stage in the peace process.”

“It is right to recognize the valuable efforts made by the members of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) to push the peace process forward in Liberia and to see to it that, with a View to peace, stability and national reconciliation, the parties pledge to sign the Cotonou, Akosombo and Accra Agreements. The presence in Liberia of the cease-fire Monitoring Group and of the United Nations Observer Mission in Liberia (UN OMIL) also deserves our appreciation. Without their action, the history of Liberia would be different today. We also commend the tireless efforts of the Secretary- General and his Special Representative to facilitate the peace process.”

“We are also gratified to know that, now that a timetable for the implementation of the provisions of the peace Agreement has been agreed, from the cease-fire to the holding of elections, the parties have begun the process of separation of forces. These are encouraging events, because it seems they have dispelled the concerns that we expressed in the past at the lack of determination of the Liberian parties to fulfil their commitments and of the Liberian people to put an end to the war. My delegation is convinced that the constant demands of the international community that the faction leaders put an end to the conflict and to the suffering of the Liberian people have facilitated the palpable progress in the peace process which the Secretary-General describes in his report.”

“Mr. Martinez Blanco (Honduras) (interpretation from Spanish): My delegation wishes to associate itself with your expressions of regret, Mr. President, over the departure of Ambassador Merimee of France. We wish him every success in his new diplomatic post. My delegation is grateful to the Secretary-General for submitting the twelfth progress report on the United Nations Observer Mission in Liberia (UNOMIL). We welcomed the fact that, following the conclusion of the Abuja Agreement on 19 August this year, the parties have created the Council of State and re-established a complete cease-fire, which is being respected.”

“It also provides a clear-cut monitoring mechanism for the restrictions imposed by paragraph 13 of resolution 918 (1994). In conclusion, I wish to say that my delegation will vote in favour of the draft resolution because it contains the elements we believe essential for helping the people of Rwanda achieve peace, stability, confidence, reconstruction and the security the country needs.”

“Therefore, the international community, which has been playing a leading role in the reconstruction of Rwanda and in the promotion of repatriation and reconciliation, must take measures such as the Government of Zaire; suggested establishment of an international commission to deal with reports of arms supplies to the forces of the former Rwandan Government. In general, my delegation is in agreement with the Secretary-General's observations and conclusions in his report. We support his initiatives to convene a regional conference to study the interrelated problems of peace, security and development in the Great Lakes subregion. My delegation also believes that the draft resolution makes it possible for the Rwandan Government to address its internal-security problem, along with a number of related problems.”

“This would no doubt provide great support for the reconstruction of the country's infrastructure and for restoring and building up its national production capability. Unfortunately, all the efforts made by the Government of Rwanda, with the assistance of the international community, to recover from the effects of the tragic events of 1994 could be thwarted by destabilization provoked from outside Rwanda - with repercussions for neighbouring countries - if there is no reduction in tensions and if lack of security persists in the parts of Zaire bordering Rwanda. These tensions exist because of reports of military training and weapons transfers to members of the former Government forces and militias that plan to attack the established Government.”

“In the context of that task, it is undeniably important to strengthen the country's judicial system and simultaneously to adopt measures intended to promote human rights and to see that those rights are respected. This means the establishment of conditions that can produce the climate of confidence needed for the return of the refugees. It is also satisfying to know that the maintenance of security in the country has improved and that the Government is now cooperating more closely with UNAMIR in the fulfilment of its mandate. With regard to the task of national reconstruction, it is encouraging to know that the donor community and United Nations organs have met and have acknowledged the need to speed up the distribution of funds already committed for Rwanda.”

“Mr. Martinez Blanco (Honduras) (interpretation from Spanish): My delegation thanks the Secretary- General for his report on the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR), dated 8 August 1995, submitted pursuant to Security Council resolution 997 (1995). We consider the report positive. It shows that there have been improvements in the security situation; that the Government of Rwanda continues to take measures aimed at establishing the environment of confidence needed for the voluntary return of refugees in conditions of security and dignity; and that the Government also continues striving to strengthen the administration of justice, establish public order and promote national reconciliation. Indeed, national reconciliation is a task that the Government of Rwanda must deal with as a priority.”

“for their efforts to make possible compliance with the Lusaka Protocol and to consolidate the cease-fire and the peace process in that country. Similarly, we wish to thank Member States, United Nations agencies and non- governmental organizations for their contributions to meet the humanitarian needs of the people of Angola. Finally, we urge the Angolan parties to cooperate fully with the United Nations peace-keeping operation in Angola with a View to enabling it to fulfil its mandates and, in general, the objectives of the Lusaka Protocol. In that light, my delegation supports the Secretary- General's recommendation that the mandate of UNAVEM. Ill be extended for an additional six months, until 8 February 1996, and will vote in favour of the draft resolution on this item.”

“The Secretary- General's data on health, malnutrition, infant mortality, maimed persons, and displaced persons and refugees in Angola are truly alarming. The situation is a challenge to the international community. Hence, my delegation supports all efforts by United Nations programmes and agencies concerned with the economic and social development of Angola, and we praise the efforts of the Government of Angola, with the support of the United Nations Development Programme and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, to convene a round-table meeting in September 1995 to consider what is needed for the economic and social reconstruction of the country. My delegation would like to thank the Secretary- General, his Special Representative, the three observer States to the Angolan peace process, and the personnel of UNAVEM.”

“It is also necessary to hasten the establishment of quartering areas for the demobilization of UNITA troops, the withdrawal of the Angolan armed forces to their barracks, the strengthening of the logistic infrastructure for the unified national army, the exchange of prisoners and the repatriation of mercenaries. In this connection, we recognize the importance of the talks the parties held at Luanda in the second half of June this year, at which they considered questions that are basic for the implementation of the Lusaka Protocol. As to the humanitarian aspects, my delegation has duly noted that the humanitarian situation in Angola continues to improve as a direct consequence of the peace process and the increased United Nations presence in that country. None the less, we are concerned about the economic and social situation in Angola.”

“The report also indicates that other elements vital to the peace process, such as the separation of forces, the quartering of troops and mine-clearing, are being carried out slowly. In that connection, my delegation considers that any delay in compliance with any of these essential elements could in one way or another affect the implementation of the peace process. In particular, as the report of the Secretary-General emphasizes, "mines continue to be a major hazard for the Angolan population and UNAVEM. and humanitarian personnel". (S/I995/588, para. 14) My delegation is gravely concerned at reports of renewed laying of mines by the parties. We therefore appeal to the parties to put an immediate and final end to these activities, which inflict such damage on the civilian population.”

“We welcome with great satisfaction the fact that the peace process in Angola is progressing, and that, due to the intensification of high-level contacts between members of the Government and UNITA, the mistrust among the parties has been diminishing. We consider that the agreement reached among the parties for a revised and accelerated timetable to implement the Lusaka Protocol is an encouraging development that will undoubtedly give fresh impetus to the peace process. The report, however, indicates that there have been violations of the cease-fire, some of which can be attributed to delays in the separation of forces, acts of banditry, and a lack of discipline among the troops, none of which constitutes a significant violation of the peace.”

We are fully convinced that under your guidance the work of the Council this month will be successful. My delegation stands ready to cooperate fully with you and your delegation. Similarly, my delegation would like to bid a warm welcome to the Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom, Sir John Weston, with whom we expect to work closely on the matters that come before the Council.

“For this reason, we would highlight the importance for Haiti of continuing cooperation in the development of the country being carried out by the United Nations Development Programme and a number of important international financial institutions. In co-sponsoring this draft resolution, my delegation endorses the statement of the Secretary-General in paragraph 63 of his report: "It is my hope that the Government, the political parties and the people of Haiti will find ways to move forward together, taking full advantage of the presence in their country at this time of a large number of personnel deployed by the international community to assist them in their efforts to return Haiti to the family of democratic nations" (5/1995/614, para. 63).

“However, we do agree with what the Secretary-General states in his report and with the Council's presidential statement of 24 April this year to the effect that although UNMIH's presence is intended to assist the Haitian Government in establishing a secure and stable environment, the early deployment of a permanent and effective independent police force in Haiti is a key element for the long-term stability of the country. Accordingly, we support the expansion of the Haitian National Police force, because this will to a great extent help to strengthen democracy and to revitalize the Haitian justice system. We recognize the importance of sustaining a stable and secure environment in Haiti, as well as the need to bolster its social and democratic institutions.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Honduras. My delegation received with satisfaction the Secretary-General's report on the United Nations Mission in Haiti (UNMIH). We believe that the progress made by UNMIH in the short time since it assumed its functions is extremely significant. It is commendable that it has been possible, in cooperation with the Organization of American States (OAS) Electoral Observation Mission and the International Civilian Mission (MICIVIH), to create the right environment for the holding, on 25 June, of municipal elections and the first round of the legislative elections. My delegation also believes that it is a positive sign that, thanks to the presence and the activities of UNMIH, the security situation in Haiti has improved.”
